Klobuchar has drawn overflow crowds across New Hampshire in recent days, and during a speech in Exeter on Monday, she proudly saluted members of the audience who were forced to watch from an overflow space. Those attendees responded by stomping their feet loudly — a sound that could be heard from the stage.

Our reporter Nick Corasaniti was with Klobuchar all day. Here’s his take on where things stand, and what New Hampshire means for her:

Amy Klobuchar feels like she’s on a roll: capacity crowds all weekend, including one event that topped 1,000 people on Sunday; more than $3 million raised online in 48 hours; and a couple of polls that showed her surging to third. It’s a testament both of good fortune (she’s one of seven left who have been qualifying for debates — and she has generally done well in them) and of message.



She may be running the hardest to the center of any remaining Democrat, pitching herself as the best option for those uncomfortable with the party’s leftward shift, and insisting that she has a unique ability to win in the Midwest. But while those appeals found some traction in places like Iowa and New Hampshire, the map will get harder for Klobuchar when voting moves on to Nevada and South Carolina, and then later on Super Tuesday. That day will have a heavy dose of the West and South, and it will mark the entry of Michael Bloomberg, who has been spending hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth on ads.



Perhaps no candidate will have to scale up as rapidly as Klobuchar after tomorrow. Of course, the first step would be a strong showing in New Hampshire. And that, as they say, will come down to turnout.

In Iowa, candidates needed at least 15 percent support at each caucus site to be considered viable; when they lacked it, their supporters had the chance to choose another candidate. In winning the most “state delegate equivalents,” Buttigieg relied on second-choice caucusgoers more than any other candidate.

In New Hampshire’s (much less convoluted) primary, there will be no realignments, so Klobuchar won’t lose any of her first-choice voters.

When will we have results tonight?

The polls will start to close in New Hampshire at 7 p.m., and the secretary of state has said final results could arrive as early as 9:30 p.m.
