Klobusurge. Klobucharge. Klomentum. Whatever you want to call it, it finally materialized on Tuesday night. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) finished third in the New Hampshire primary with roughly 20 percent of the overall vote, vaulting past former vice president Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). And even though Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former South Bend, Ind., mayor Pete Buttigieg beat Klobuchar in the final tally, in many outlets Klobuchar’s resurgence became the headline story of the night.
It’s understandable that Buttigieg and Sanders supporters roll their eyes at some of the fawning coverage. But Klobuchar’s final sprint was, by historical standards, impressive. CONT.
