- 8 years ago
Just after 8 p.m. Eastern, highly favored front-runners Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump were declared winners. An hour later, John Kasich secured the coveted second-place spot on the GOP side. Chris Christie reassessing presidential bid.
The New Jersey governor, who had needed a better showing in New Hampshire, is taking a break to reassess. Donald Trump thanked supporters and even Bernie Sanders before launching into his stump speech about stemming illegal immigration, making better trade deals and, well, just winning. Bernie Sanders asserted that the results should serve notice to "the political and economic establishment" that the American people will not continue to accept a "corrupt campaign finance system" and "rigged economy" that benefits only the wealthiest. Hillary Clinton congratulated Bernie Sanders on his victory and urged her supporters to push forward and continue her quest for the nomination and ultimately the presidency so the country can continue the progress made under President Obama.
