As the Democratic candidates move on to New Hampshire, voters there are facing the surprising opportunity to deliver the first election night verdict of 2020 next week

MANCHESTER, N.H. — A new feeling of urgency hit the voters who greeted the muddled, squabbling, bleary-eyed Democratic presidential field flying into New Hampshire after Iowa’s inconclusive caucus night.

The former South Bend, Ind., mayor is looking to turn another surprise in New Hampshire after running neck and neck with Bernie Sanders for the top spot in Iowa in the first returns came out there Tuesday night. But Buttigieg is competing on Sanders’ next-door turf without the clear jolt results on Monday night might have given him. Instead, Buttigieg’s surprise results were released just hours before President Donald Trump delivered a State of the Union address.

Meanwhile, of the last dozen polls, Sanders placed first in all of them, leading by double digits in two of the last three. Klobuchar’s success could also depend on how well Biden plays here. The former vice president's schedule for the upcoming week is noticeable lighter than other candidates, as he has flatly said he does not need to win the state. He remains the national frontrunner and the campaign has long expected a significant victory in the South Carolina primary, just over two weeks after New Hampshire.

But, amid a months-long struggle to edge past Sanders in the polls, the Warren campaign recently released a memo arguing that New Hampshire is not a must-win and explaining their strategy to compete past the early-voting states. Despite that, local political observers think she needs to track near Sanders to make a viable argument that she can represent the liberal-wing of the party.

Bennet made a commitment to hold 50 town halls before the primary wraps up and openly admits he needs to do well to keep his campaign alive.
