| | | Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is the front-runner for the Democratic Party’s nomination to challenge Republican President Donald Trump in November.
Sanders, with a win Tuesday night in New Hampshire and a contested victory in Iowa under his belt, is in the strongest position to seize the nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee in July, clearly separating himself from former Vice President Joe Biden, former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). He is also the candidate in the field with the second-greatest resources ― in the form of money, staffers and volunteers ― to power his efforts as the campaign continues.
His strongest potential rivals ― Biden and Warren ― are struggling, and the moderate candidates elevated by the nearly universally white electorates in the first two primary states have demonstrated almost no ability to appeal to the more diverse electorates casting ballots in Nevada, South Carolina and in a host of states on Super Tuesday, on March 3. |

| | | | | | | | | | The surprise of the New Hampshire primary was Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.). Klobuchar, who has struggled to break into the top tier of the Democratic presidential field, finally did so Tuesday, as she was set to place in the top three candidates as results rolled in. |

| | Bad news for Biden: Nobody has won the nomination after a start like this. Since 1972, neither party has chosen a presidential nominee who didn’t reach the top two in either Iowa or New Hampshire. |

| | Democratic leaders are demanding answers after the Department of Justice abruptly reduced the recommended sentence for Roger Stone on Tuesday following President Donald Trump’s public criticism of the length of his longtime adviser’s original recommended sentence. All four federal prosecutors who ran Stone’s trial dropped out of the case earlier Tuesday after senior Justice Department leadership intervened to walk back the prosecutors’ sentencing recommendation, a rare step that marked the latest sign of Trump’s appointees further politicizing the department in charge of federal law enforcement. |
