Supporters of the Democratic Party will vote in primaries to be held in the state of New Hampshire. According to most polls, Jewish Senator Bernie Sanders is leading the race and may win a decisive victory, unlike the fiasco that occurred last week in the state of Iowa. In second place is Pete Bottage, who, according to the Democratic Party announcement, won the Iowa primaries. In third place in the polls are John Biden and Amy Clocher.

The various candidates yesterday took final measures to recruit supporters across the state. Despite Sanders' advantage, Buttagej hasn't given up and managed to narrow the gap in recent days.

The other top candidates, former Vice President Biden and Sen. Clocher, were unlikely to win in those states, but they still hope to show a high turnout to build momentum in the next races, where they are expected to lead.

Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who is expected to fit in the race on "Big Tuesday," also hopes to win Democrats' mainstream voters. For Sen. Elizabeth Warren, another loss would indicate that the Democratic Left Party favors Senator Sanders. However, the farce that happened last week in the counting of votes in the Iowa primaries is not over yet. Senator Sanders' headquarters filed an official request yesterday to re-enumerate the ballot. This was after the Democratic Party in Iowa declared Buttigej's victory, winning 14 delegates versus 12 for Sanders.

Jeff Weaver, Sanders senior adviser, said yesterday that "the recurring count is only the first step in the process, and we do not expect it to change current calculations. This is a necessary part of ensuring Iowa residents can count on the final results of the process."

Also, according to a report in the Washington Post, the top candidates are "moving toward an open war" between them. The internal confrontation focuses on responsible search for default and a growing conflict over who is allowed to participate in future television conflicts, against the backdrop of Michael Bloomberg's desire to participate, even though he has not yet competed in the current primaries.

Also, Sen. Bernie Sanders has come back to attack the establishment of the Democratic Party, as he did four years ago. So, as now, Sanders argued that the "National Democratic Committee" (DNC) is working against its anti-establishment and socialist campaign.

The race that doesn't gain momentum

The main beneficiary of these conflicts is US President Donald Trump, who, according to many commentators, experienced his most successful political week last week, which included his speech to the nation, his acquittal in impeachment trial and the failure of Iowa's Democratic primaries. Gaining groundwork and being characterized by internal conflicts, while controlling the Republican Party unquestionably.
