Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar claimed the lead in New Hampshire on Tuesday morning as the 2020 Democratic hopeful secured the most votes from residents across three small townships who cast their ballots just after midnight in the nation's first primary.
Entrepreneur Andrew Yang came up not far behind with three votes, while former Vice President Joe Biden and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg followed with two votes each.One of the biggest surprises of the early morning vote was support for former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who managed to secure the first votes in both the Democratic and Republican primaries, despite not even being on the ballot.
The former New York mayor won support despite opting to skip primary contests in early states and instead enter the competition on March 3rd's Super Tuesday. "PS/ This tweet is not a joke," he wrote."This really just happened in the first primary town, Dixville Notch, NH."
