New Hampshire voters are having their say on the Democratic Party’s chaotic presidential nomination fight. The state’s presidential primary Tuesday will determined which candidates are stronger or weaker after Iowa’s chaotic caucuses last week. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg began the day as the undisputed front-runners. New Hampshire also offers a critical test for former Vice President Joe Biden and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Warren faces the prospect of an embarrassing defeat on her near-home turf. And Biden is traveling to South Carolina, where he hopes to make a strong showing among black voters later this month.The Latest: Sanders greets supporters, says he hopes for win.
– Bernie Sanders hugged and shook hands with supporters outside a Manchester, New Hampshire polling place as he awaits the results of the state’s primary. Sanders wouldn’t speculate on whether he expects a “resounding” victory in Tuesday’s primary but said he’s hoping for a win. The Vermont senator is a front-runner after the Iowa caucuses and looks for a win in the neighboring state of New Hampshire. Sanders told supporters he’s proud “that we have spoke to tens of thousands of people in New Hampshire.”

– Elizabeth Warren still “has a plan” for everything. She’s just trying to put a more personal face on them. Being a proud policy nerd helped catapult the Massachusetts senator into front runner status last summer but may have carried her as far as it can. Warren has retooled the speech she gives voters at multiple daily campaign stops and has begun stressing that she’s been counted out of fights all her life, only to find a way to prevail. That’s a strategy she’s hoping to emulate in the Democratic presidential primary race.
