Sanders gewinnt Vorwahlen der US-Demokraten in New Hampshire

"Let's Change America"
8:19 p.m .: Former Vice President Joe Biden urged people on the Twitter online service to vote. "Today is the day," he tweeted early in the morning. Sanders had mobilized his supporters the day before at an election event in Durham. "Let's win this thing, let's change America," the quarrelsome leftist senator cried to 7,500 people.

Polling stations open in New Hampshire - first constituency has already decided
2:36 pm: In the US state of New Hampshire, the second presidential election of the US Democrats has begun. The polling stations opened on Tuesday morning (local time); traditionally, the five voters in the tiny town of Dixville Notch had previously voted one minute after midnight. After the pre-election chaos in Iowa, left-wing Senator Bernie Sanders and pragmatic-moderate ex-mayor Pete Buttigieg, in particular, have good chances of winning in the east coast state.

The billionaire Michael Bloomberg surprisingly won in Dixville Notch. The 77-year-old had announced that he would skip the first area codes in February in order to focus on "Super Tuesday" on March 3, when 14 countries held area codes at the same time.

Despite its population of just 1.3 million, New Hampshire plays an important role in the political landscape of the United States. People are considered to be voters, the state as a so-called swing state, which is fiercely contested between Republicans and Democrats until election day.

Democrats hold second area code in state of New Hampshire - Sanders is favorite
Tuesday, February 11, 11:01 am: About a week after the Iowa election embarrassment, New Hampshire Democrats are holding their second presidential election today. The left-wing Senator Sanders is in the lead in polls for the East Coast state, followed by former Mayor Buttigieg. Behind them are Senator Warren, former ex-President Biden and Senator Klobuchar.

The primaries to determine incumbent Trump's challenger had started a serious glitch in the state of Iowa last week. Due to technical problems, the election results could not be transmitted at first. Ultimately, Buttigieg won ahead of Sanders, Warren and Biden. Unlike the Iowa Caucus, where meetings are held, voters in New Hampshire hand out normal ballot papers.

Tuesday primaries in New Hampshire
10:25 am: After the chaos in the area code in the state of Iowa, the Democrats head for the second area code in New Hampshire in the US presidential race. In the first television debate since the beginning of the US presidential primaries, the leading candidates for the candidature had an intense exchange of blows. The moderate ex-mayor Pete Buttigieg, who had performed surprisingly well in Iowa last Monday, faced particularly tough questions. A technical breakdown there had led to considerable problems in the transmission of the results - which, from the perspective of US President Donald Trump, had seriously harmed the Democrats.

The leftist Senator Bernie Sanders confidently defended his well-known positions in the debate on Friday evening (local time). Ex-US Vice President Joe Biden approached his rivals much more aggressively than before after finishing fourth in Iowa.

Monday, February 10, 10:15 a.m .: After the presidential election of the opposition US Democrats in the US state of Iowa, overshadowed by a disgraceful technical mishap, the party officially confirmed the victory of former mayor Pete Buttigieg there. Democrats announced on Sunday the distribution of Iowa delegate votes for the nomination convention in July. The pragmatic, moderate Buttigieg won 14 delegate votes, followed by the left-wing Senator Bernie Sanders with twelve delegates.

For the left-wing Senator Elizabeth Warren, eight delegates are to be sent to the party conference at which the challenger is nominated by President Donald Trump. Fourth place in Iowa was former Vice President Joe Biden with six delegates, followed by Senator Amy Klobuchar with one delegate. Like Buttigieg, Biden and Klobuchar represent the moderate party wing.

Buttigieg had only left Sanders with a wafer-thin lead, according to the official vote counts. Sanders' campaign team announced that it would review a review of the results by the party section in Iowa. The counts were "incompetent", complained Sanders' campaign manager Faiz
