Developing... Live Updates: Kasich And Sanders Win First Votes In N.H. Primary
Voting begins Tuesday. Here’s what you need to know:
* New Hampshire is the second voting contest of the presidential nominating season. Polls open at varying times and close at 7p.m. ET.
* Here’s the updated list of who’s running. For the GOP its Businessman Donald Trump; Texas Sen. Ted Cruz; Florida Sen. Marco Rubio; former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush; neurosurgeon Ben Carson; Ohio Gov. John Kasich; New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie; and former HP CEP Carly Fiorina. For the Democrats it’s former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
* All of the candidates are fresh off last week’s Iowa caucuses — where Cruz won and Clinton and Sanders ended in a virtual tie — and debates.
* In this weekend’s GOP debate, Rubio faltered under attacks from Christie. In last week’s Democratic debate, Clinton and Sanders argued over who’s the true progressive.
* New Hampshire voters have correctly picked the last two GOP nominees — Mitt Romney and John McCain — and last correctly picked John Kerry as the nominee in 2004.
* The latest UMass poll shows Trump with 34%, Rubio with 13%, and Cruz with 13% on the GOP side. For the Democrats Sanders is at 56% and Clinton is at 40%.
