Bernie Sanders won the New Hampshire primary Tuesday, fending off strong challenges from Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar as he sought to solidify his status as standard bearer of a Democratic party split between progressives and moderates.
With 97% of the precincts reporting, Sanders had 25.7% of the vote and Buttigieg had 24.4%. Klobuchar was third with 19.8%, according to the Associated Press, which called the race.
