MANCHESTER, N.H. - Bernie Sanders narrowly won New Hampshire's Democratic presidential primary on Tuesday, solidifying his front-runner status in the race to take on Donald Trump and dealing a setback to moderate rival Joe Biden, who finished a disappointing fifth.

Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, who edged out Sanders in last week's messy Iowa caucuses, came in a close second after splitting much of the centrist vote with Senator Amy Klobuchar.
