Reviews and Bites: Democratic primaries are coming to New Hampshire today

After spending the last weekend in a swap, Senator Socialist Bernie Sanders and his young rival Pete Buttige arrived in New Hampshire for the Democratic primaries in the state today. The vote today is considered a crucial test for the Democratic Party that hopes to wrestle with President Donald Trump in November, especially former Vice President Joe Biden and Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren who seem to have run their campaigns at the checkpoint.

Determined to outdo Democrats, Trump summoned his supporters to a rally of his own in Manchester, New Hampshire, promising a "large crowd." The president tweeted that "we want to shake the Democrats a little bit - they have a really boring business."

78-year-old Sanders, a neighbor from neighboring Vermont, was seen as the leader in the expected New Hampshire vote, where he defeated his 2016 primaries. According to the "The RealClearPolitics" poll, the voting rate for the country is 28.8%. His 38-year-old moderate rival Buttagej, a former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, is second in the polls with 22.3 percent. Last Sunday, he was announced as the winner of the Iowa primaries last week, but in a narrow gap against Sanders. Among the nominees is Minnesota Sen. Amy Clobcher, who recorded a sharp rise in polls and defeats Warren and Biden with 14 percent support.

The race becomes prickly

History has shown that it is almost impossible for a Democrat to be elected presidential candidate without screwing up in the first two places in the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries - and as a result, the race is getting more prickly every day.

New Hampshire selects 33 delegates, 24 must vote in the party conference according to the results of the primaries. In order to win the Democratic Party, candidates must win the support of 1,990 delegates out of 3,979.

"Unlike other campaigns, we don't have billionaires who give us big sums of money," Sanders told supporters in a bout to Buttigej, who is branded as a Wall Street candidate. His campaign, based largely on small supporters, raised $ 25 million last month.

Butige did not remain indebted and replied, "Well, Bernie is quite rich and I would love to get a donation from him." On a more serious note, he added, "he is building the movement that is going to defeat Donald Trump," with the help of more than two million people.

Butige and Biden, whose status as a leading contender undermined his arrival at only fourth place in the Iowa primaries, said it would be much harder for the party to defeat Trump with the Socialist Sanders. The senator's positions are considered very left-wing in the US spectrum, with programs such as expanding the "Medicare" program for all citizens. The president said in an interview last week that he thinks Sanders is a "communist."

Butige said it would be "a lot harder" for the party to win with Sanders than with a milder candidate. Biden said similar things in an interview with ABC Network. But the Socialist senator has shrugged off criticism for being too radical to defeat Trump, and has emphasized his support for young voters.

The struggle outside the white states

While Buttige grew anonymity, he criticized the lack of his mundane experience and difficulty connecting with black voters. "He failed to unite the African-American community," Biden said, adding that the candidate chosen to lead the party would have to succeed in far more diverse states than Iowa and New Hampshire.

After listening to Bottige at a rally in Nashua, New Hampshire, 20-year-old Katie Morgan said he was "interesting and smart." At the same time, she added, "Personally, I prefer a candidate with a little more experience."

Biden's campaign continued to falter this week when a young woman attending the candidate's event asked him about his poor performance in Iowa. On social networks, the former vice president asked student Madison Moore if she had attended the conference. When she nodded, he replied: "No, you're not. You're a liar, little soldier." Although his campaign team said it was a joke inspired by John Wayne's film, the comment sparked astonishment and summed up a week of bad news for the former Democratic race favorite.

Another candidate in the primaries is billionaire and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who broke a record when he transferred $ 260 million of his private equity into his campaign. He skipped the first four ballots and instead opted to focus on "Big Tuesday" to be held on March 3, during which 14 states will vote.
