NASHUA, N.H. – With less than two days until New Hampshire voters go to the polls, Hillary Clinton took a trip to Michigan. And other candidates, including Jeb Bush, said their campaigns will go on no matter what the outcome Tuesday. Donald Trump said he doesn’t need to win New Hampshire, but would like to – though he was notably casual in his campaign effort Sunday.
With the otherwise intense race for the White House seemingly toned down Sunday, it’s easy to forget that this leadoff primary could be make or break for several lagging campaigns.
Republican hopeful Marco Rubio continues to downplay his rough outing in Saturday night’s GOP debate, while touting his overall campaign momentum after his third-place finish in the Iowa caucuses.
Trump, who is facing intense pressure to perform after coming in second in the Iowa caucuses, opted Sunday for just one of his signature rallies in Plymouth; and when he visited diner, the billionaire real estate mogul spent lessthan five minutes interacting with potential voters before sitting down for a meal with staff.
On the Democratic side, New Hampshire favorite Bernie Sanders and Clinton – who narrowly won Iowa – are avoiding predictions about Tuesday and looking beyond to South Carolina and Nevada, the next two states up in the nomination process.
