Bernie Sanders of Vermont won the Democratic primary in the neighboring state of New Hampshire.
And there’s the state’s relationship with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Both spent little time campaigning here, with Biden leaving the state before his fifth-place primary finish.
