In the New Hampshire primaries, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders won over former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg and close behind them was Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar. Left-leaning articles highlight Klobuchar’s upward momentum, while right-leaning articles highlight the lack of media coverage of Sanders’ New Hampshire win.
A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlights that Klobuchar burst to the center of the Democratic presidential race with a third-place finish in New Hampshire. The article notes that Klobuchar generated larger-than-usual crowds to her campaign events after months of trying to find her place. Klobuchar’s pitch is a candidate who can win over independent voters and Republicans that disprove of President Trump’s actions.
A centrist article by NPR reports that even though Sanders didn’t win New Hampshire by a 20-point margin as he did four years ago, his New Hampshire win was still a big deal for his campaign. The article reports that after New Hampshire, Sanders became the clear front-runner and has the most plausible path to the Democratic presidential nomination.
A left-leaning article by Fox News highlights that although Sanders won the New Hampshire primary, the media focused on Amy Klobuchar’s impressive third-place finish. The article also notes that Buttigieg’s second place showing is equally remarkable, as he told supporters that “a campaign that some said shouldn’t be here at all has shown that we are here to stay.”
