Replay: Watching the New Hampshire primary returns

Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders powered to victory in the New Hampshire primary Tuesday, avenging their Iowa losses to keep the mad scramble of the 2016 presidential campaign alive with dozens of contests to come.

A knot of Republicans fought it out for second, an important perch as the campaign goes national and Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and John Kasich compete with Iowa winner Ted Cruz to become the leading alternative to the New York billionaire atop the polls.

Here are the latest developments:

11:18 p.m.

Bernie Sanders will win at least 13 of the Democratic delegates in New Hampshire and Hillary Clinton will win at least nine. Two delegates haven’t yet been allocated.

In the overall race for delegates, Clinton has 394, thanks in large part to endorsements from superdelegates – party officials who can support the candidate of their choice.

Sanders has 42 delegates.

It takes 2,382 delegates to win the Democratic nomination for president.

In the Republicans race, Donald Trump will win at least 10 delegates in New Hampshire and John Kasich will win at least three. Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush will both win at least two, with six delegates still to be allocated.

In the overall race for delegates, Trump leads with 17, Cruz has 10, Marco Rubio has seven, Kasich has four and Bush has three.

It takes 1,237 delegates to win the Republican nomination.

11:12 p.m.

John Kasich says the key to his second-place finish in New Hampshire’s Republican presidential primary was that the “light overcame the darkness” of American politics.

The Ohio governor tells supporters that his positive campaign overcame negative attacks funded with tens of millions of dollars.

11:06 p.m.

Jeb Bush says New Hampshire voters have “reset” the Republican presidential race.

The former Florida governor – who’s in a fight for third place with Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio – says he’s campaign “is not dead” and that’s he’s looking forward to the upcoming contest in South Carolina.

Bush was betting big on New Hampshire to help him recover from his poor single-digit showing in the Iowa caucuses.

10:58 p.m.

Donald Trump may have captured the GOP presidential primary in New Hampshire and John Kasich came next, but Ted Cruz sees a different real winner of the contest.

The Texas senator – who won the leadoff Iowa caucuses but is fighting for third in New Hampshire – says it’s the “conservative grassroots.”

Cruz says he’s proved the critics wrong for says a conservative couldn’t do well in New Hampshire.

Now, he says he’s focused on upcoming contests in South Carolina, Nevada and across the South in early March.

10:46 p.m.

Marco Rubio says he’s disappointed in his performance Tuesday in New Hampshire’s Republican presidential primary, and he’s blaming himself.

And the Florida senator – who finished a surprising second in the leadoff Iowa caucuses – says he has a good idea why he’s in a fight for third place with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and former Florida. Gov. Jeb Bush.

Rubio is pointing to his performance in the last debate before the primary.

He tells supporters: “I did not do well on Saturday night.”

10:40 p.m.

Exit polling in New Hampshire shows that Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders won the support of about 9 in 10 voters who thought honesty was important.

One of the questions asked of voters was which of the two candidates – Sanders or Hillary Clinton – is honest and trustworthy.

Half said they think only Sanders is, while about 40 percent said they both are. Few said only Clinton is.

Nearly all of those who said only Sanders is honest and trustworthy said he got their vote.

10:35 p.m.

Republican Chris Christie says he’s heading home to New Jersey to “take a deep breath” and take stock of his struggling presidential bid.

The New Jersey governor had banked on a strong finish in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary, but he’s on track to end up far off the pace despite holding more than 70 town halls events over the past few months.

It’s a tough blow for a candidate whose campaign had trouble from the start about raising money and building support in a crowded field dominated by another brash East Coaster: businessman Donald Trump.

Christie tells supporters that he'll wait to see the final New Hampshire results before making a decision about the way ahead.

But he says he can do that best from home, and not a hotel room in South Carolina – the site of the next Republican contest.

10:21 p.m.

Donald Trump is basking in his victory in Tuesday’s Republican presidential primary in New Hampshire and says that America under his leadership will “start winning again.”

Trump is telling supporters that he'll be the “greatest jobs president God ever created.”

He’s promising that if he’s commander in chief, he'll “knock the hell” out of the Islamic State group and negotiate what he says would be better trade deals.

A Trump presidency, he says, would mean “nobody is going to mess with us.”

10 p.m.

She’s back in the pack among Republicans in New Hampshire, but the fight isn’t going out of Carly Fiorina.

The Republican presidential candidate tells supporters at a country club in Manchester that “I’m not going to sit down and be quiet, and neither are you.”

She’s taken the stage with her husband, Frank, by her side. And what’s playing in the background? “I Won’t Back Down,” by rocker Tom Petty.

9:55 p.m.

Jeb Bush’s campaign doesn’t think much of rival John Kasich’s second-place showing in New Hampshire’s Republican presidential primary.

Kasich finished behind Donald Trump. Bush – a former Florida governor – is in a close race with two senators – Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida – for third.

Bush spokesman Tim Miller says Kasich “ran a one-state campaign” in New Hampshire and doesn’t have “a viable path” to the nomination.

The next Republican contest is in South Carolina later in February, and Miller says the Bush campaign feels “very confident about our position” in the state.

As for Kasich, Miller contends that the former congressman “doesn’t have a constituency past New Hampshire.”

9:45 p.m.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich has finished second in New Hampshire’s Republican presidential primary.

There’s a tight race for third among Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. It’s still too close to call right now.

Kasich emerged from the pack of candidates to finish behind billionaire businessman Donald Trump on Tuesday night.

Kasich’s campaign manager says he expects an increased flow of contributions to the candidate’s campaign after the strong showing.

9:35 p.m.

He’s won in New Hampshire and now Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders plans to meet with Rev. Al Sharpton over breakfast in New York City on Wednesday.

That’s according to two people who were briefed on the meeting. They are telling The Associated Press that the get-together is set for the famed Sylvia’s Restaurant in Harlem.

They spoke on condition of anonymity because the information had not yet been publicly released.

Sharpton isn’t immediately responding to a request for comment.

9:29 p.m.

Hillary Clinton is congratulating Bernie Sanders on his New Hampshire win on Tuesday night.

But for the former secretary of state, it’s time to get back to the issues: campaign finance reform, equal pay for women, the lead-tainted drinking water in Flint, Michigan.

Clinton also wants younger voters to support her campaign as the race goes on.

She says she knows she has “some work to do particularly with young people.”

Even after losing to Bernie Sanders in the Democratic presidential primary in New Hampshire on Tuesday, Clinton is promising to take her fight for the nomination to the rest of the country.

And if she feels spurned by New Hampshire voters, she’s not showing it to supporters in Hooksett, New Hampshire.

She tells them: “I still love New Hampshire, and I always will.”

9:05 p.m.

Exit polls are helping shed some light on the various strands of support among voters in New Hampshire’s Republican presidential primary.

Donald Trump is backed by voters looking for an outsider and those who made up their minds a while ago.

John Kasich does best with voters looking for a candidate with political experience – along with moderates, better educated voters and those who made their vote decision in the past few days.

Ted Cruz is supported by many voters who are very conservative and evangelical Christians.

Marco Rubio does best among voters for whom experience and electability is important.

Voters who value experience are also inclined to support Jeb Bush.

9:03 p.m.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders won the New Hampshire Democratic primary after convincing voters that he was more honest and trustworthy than former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to early results of the exit poll conducted by Edison Research for The Associated Press and television networks.

Asked which of the two candidates is honest and trustworthy, nearly half said they thought only Sanders is, and nearly all of them voted for him. Few voters said only Clinton is honest and trustworthy while about 4 in 10 said both of the Democrats had those traits.

Clinton struggled similarly last week in Iowa’s caucuses among people who said that honesty was an important issue to them.

About 3 in 10 say only Sanders shares their values, while just over 1 in 10 say only Clinton does. Half said both candidates share their values.

8:50 p.m.

Thanks to his New Hampshire win, Donald Trump will take the lead in the race for delegates for the Republican National Convention.

It won’t be much of a lead.

There are only 23 delegates at stake in New Hampshire’s Republican primary, and they are awarded proportionally, based on the statewide vote.

Trump will win at least nine. The final tally depends on how many candidates get more than 10 percent of the vote, the threshold needed to qualify for delegates.

Trump started night trailing Ted Cruz by one delegate.

A Republican would need 1,237 to clinch the nomination. There are 2,433 delegates yet to be assigned.

8:45 p.m.

How did Bernie Sanders do it in New Hampshire?

According to exit polls, he won the Democratic presidential primary Tuesday by getting a majority of votes from both men and women, independents and voters under 45.

Rival Hillary Clinton is backed a majority of voters aged 65 and older and those with incomes over $200,000.

Independents make up nearly 4 in 10 voters in the primary, and Sanders is winning nearly three-quarters of their votes.

8:13 p.m.

Bernie Sanders’ victory in New Hampshire means he’s assured of a majority of the state’s pledged delegates.

With 24 at stake, Sanders stands to gain at least 13. Hillary Clinton will receive at least seven.

Clinton remains ahead in the overall delegate count due to support from superdelegates – the party officials who can support the candidate of their choice.

Including superdelegates nationwide, Clinton has amassed at least 392 delegates and Sanders at least 42.

The magic number to clinch the nomination is 2,382. There are 4,120 delegates that have not chosen.

8:03 p.m.

The New Hampshire primary winners are Donald Trump on the Republican side and Bernie Sanders in the Democratic race. Each took the top spot after second-place finishes in the Iowa caucuses.

Trump’s first victory of the 2016 White House race means he’s no longer a political rookie but the front-runner for his party’s presidential nomination.

And the win for Sanders completes his rise from presidential long shot to legitimate challenger for the Democratic nomination against Hillary Clinton.

7:50 p.m.

New Hampshire’s secretary of state says voter turnout in Tuesday’s presidential primary is likely to be slightly higher than in 2008.

Bill Gardner predicted several days ago that roughly 282,000 Republican ballots cast would be and 268,000 Democratic ballots cast.

He says his visits to various polling places Tuesday lead him to believe his predictions are on par.

6:55 p.m.

And now Nevada Democrats say the Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton will participate in a town-hall event in Las Vegas two days before the Feb. 20 Nevada caucuses.

The state party chairwoman, Roberta Lange, says MSNBC and the Spanish-language television network Telemundo have agreed to host the event.

5:50 p.m.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is revisiting some past controversies as he greets voters in Manchester.

As he arrived at Webster Elementary School Tuesday, Trump was asked by a man who identified himself as a Muslim journalist about Trump’s proposal to temporarily bar foreign Muslims from entering the U.S.

Trump brought up the ban again when asked by a foreign outlet outside the Northwest Elementary School whether he would maintain the country’s relationship with Britain.

“When I talked about the ban,” Trump says, “I received literally million and millions of responses all over the world from that. And the people in the U.K. were so incredible to me.”

He added: “They happen to agree with me. There are a lot of problems right now and I know how to solve them.”

Trump also defended his decision to repeat a supporter who’d called out an offensive word for cowardice at a rally Monday night.

“Well I didn’t say that. Somebody else said it, I didn’t say it. That was a re-tweet of what a woman said,” he says, adding that he didn’t regret it “at all.”

5:18 p.m.

Donald Trump is airing a new television ad that bashes Ted Cruz as “the worst kind of Washington insider.”

The two candidates are after the same voters, people who want to shake up the federal government by electing an “outsider” president.

The 30-second spot that started airing Tuesday says Cruz of “talks from both side of his mouth” on allowing immigrants who are in the country illegally to stay, and took “sweetheart” loans from Wall Street banks when he ran for Senate in 2012. Then the narrator says Cruz’s presidential campaign employed “dirty tricks” when it sent word to Iowans on the night of that state’s caucuses that Ben Carson might be dropping out.

Cruz is “the worst kind of Washington insider, who just can’t be trusted,” the Trump ad concludes, showing Cruz’s “TrusTED” campaign slogan.

Trump’s latest commercial is part of a nearly $500,000 ad buy there.

South Carolina is the next state to vote in the GOP nomination fight, on Feb. 20.

4:00 p.m.

Donald Trump is greeting voters face-to-face as they head to the polls.

“How’s it looking, everybody? Good?” he repeatedly asked supporters who’d gathered at poll sites, waving signs.

Trump visited two voting locations – the Webster School and the Northwest Elementary School – and shook hands and posed for photos.

He’s holding a party for supporters to watch the results come in Manchester Tuesday evening.

2:18 p.m.

Ted Cruz says Donald Trump has no choice but to engage in profanity because the billionaire businessman can’t defend his record.

Cruz briefly addressed Trump’s latest insult Tuesday afternoon as he greeted voters inside Manchester’s Red Arrow Diner, a must-stop for candidates in both parties.

“Part of the reason that Donald engages in insults is because he can’t discuss the substance. He can’t defend his record. For example, a vote for Donald Trump is a vote for Obamacare,” Cruz told reporters as he walked into the diner.

Trump has said that’s a “lie.” Cruz charges that Trump supports universal health care that could lead to health care rationing.

Cruz says, “Donald can’t defend that. So instead, his approach is to engage in a profane insult. I’m not going to respond in kind.”
