Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent, released figures showing he was in front, while the former mayor of South Bend, Ind., Pete Buttigieg, claimed victory, saying that “by all indications, we are going on to New Hampshire victorious.” New Hampshire will be the location of the second primary contest for Democrats on Feb. 11.
