Reaching fifth place in the key country has seriously damaged the former Vice President's campaign • Sanders has won, but he may have won the momentum as a bootleg

Jewish Senator Bernie Sanders won the Democratic primaries in New Hampshire on Wednesday with a gap of just over one percent over his opponent, Pete Bottage.

Although this is an expected victory for the Vermont State senator, the furious gap with Buttidge, who managed to steal a win in Iowa, provides a backdrop to a candidate who until a few weeks ago was almost anonymous.

On the US news site "Politico", young Bottage (38) compared Barack Obama, claiming that the establishment ticket he presents, along with enthusiasm and belonging to the gay community, marks him as much more suited to the leadership than the experienced politicians who face him.

In Joe Biden's camp, who until less than a month ago was considered the leading candidate in the pre-election, the harsh results for him in the state of New Hampshire came as a serious disaster.

Tara Stamier, a senior political commentator on the US news network CNN, wrote tonight that the preliminary election in Nevada and North Carolina, in which Biden's supporters hope to find strong support, will be the last chance for the former vice president to save his candidacy.

In-depth surveys from the University of Quinipac today showed that Biden's support for black voters, considered high so far, has dropped significantly and that many are turning their support to Barnesi Sanders and Peter Bootige.

But while media speculation in the United States is vast and varied, the average polls provided by the "realclearpolitics" website predict a 23-percent national-level advantage for Bernie Sanders, while Senator Biden is in second place with 19 percent. The surprise of the current election campaign, Pete Buttige, only comes in fifth place.
