MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Sen. Bernie Sanders has taken a commanding victory in the New Hampshire primary over Hillary Clinton.
The win comes after a narrow loss to Clinton in Iowa.
Sanders garnered a majority of support from men, women and independents and surged past Clinton in a state she won eight years ago against then-candidate Barack Obama.
The turnout -- as Sanders would say -- was "huge." Polls indicated Sanders, from neighboring Vermont, was substantially favored heading into the contest.
His win will likely prompt rank-and-file Democrats — and some major campaign donors — to give his candidacy a second look as the race shifts to contests in Clinton-friendly states like Nevada and South Carolina.
