Hi, this is Josh Marshall, and this is the Josh Marshall podcast.

We had the New Hampshire primary last night that was basically in line with what we are expecting.

Bernie Sanders won.

I think there was some expectation that he would win by a a bigger margin that he then he did but he won and so

Pete Boudajitch came in a very close second place within like two percentage points

yeah pretty close and and it and it decreased over the course of the evening I think right

tightened up yeah early evening I think Sanders was maybe what it was maybe like you know 27 Sanders 20

Budajage or 22 so Budajage caught up over the course of the evening and

then another big surprise although it's a little unclear,

kind of whether it matters or whether it means anything,

was Amy Klobuchar coming in a serious third. about 20% yeah about 19 and a half 20 something like that right

and the you know again not a big surprise from the vantage point of a few days ago but

certainly from the vantage point of much of the last year that Joe Biden and

Elizabeth Warren just also r runs like way back behind single digits.

Yeah, high single, what they both got eight or nine or something like that.

Which is, you know, battling for fourth and fifth place, which is you know battling for fourth and fifth place which is whether you

Supported those two or not is just sort of is just pretty wild. Yeah, I mean it was as it was a sign of the race or his standing that Biden wasn't even in New Hampshire last night.

Right. It's his quote-unquote firewall right. Right, you know the funny thing
