Buttigieg Says He Can Win New Hampshire

Pete Buttigieg told the New Hampshire Union Leader he can ‘absolutely’ win the first-in-the-nation primary, while admitting it will be more difficult than his breakthrough showing at the Iowa caucus.

Said Buttigieg: “I recognize I am competing with not one but two New England senators from states touching New Hampshire. We recognize this is a competitive challenge but I think that the independent nature that is so important here in New Hampshire also allows us to prove once again that this is a campaign that can bring in many different kinds of people across the spectrum and form the coalition that can defeat Donald Trump.”

Politico: “A senior adviser for Pete Buttigieg’s campaign tweeted what appeared to be a signal for help to super PAC supporters on Wednesday, a notable injection of big-money politicking into a Democratic presidential race that has been defined in large part by opposition to super PACs and their influence.”
