He had already won in previous primaries in New Hampshire, a small state of 1.3 million inhabitants located in the northeast of the United States, in 2016. Bernie Sanders appears as the winner of these second primaries according to results still partial, followed by a hair by Pete Buttigieg, winner him in Iowa last week after a ballot counting poll.

Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg are now installed in the group of candidates likely to challenge Donald Trump in November, according to American media. Third in the results, Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar, according to the accounts of the ABC, CBS and NBC channels. Former Vice-President Joe Biden and Senator Elizabeth Warren were clearly left behind in the new election.

Even if the state is sparsely populated, this primary is important: remember that since 1952, out of 17 elections, 14 candidates who won the nomination of their party in New Hampshire were ultimately elected president.
