Mrs Clinton has congratulated Mr Sanders, but said in a speech she would continue to fight for every vote in the campaign. Ohio Governor John Kasich came second in the Republican race, with former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Mr Cruz still vying for third place. | |

Donald Trump is back, and Bernie Sanders is booming. That's the clear takeaway from a New Hampshire primary night that ended with little drama at the top. Both the New York billionaire and the Democrat who derides the billionaire class appear posed to confirm their consistently large opinion poll leads here with double-digit wins. | Donald Trump is back, and Bernie Sanders is booming.

For the last few weeks the drama on the Republican side has been the identity of the candidate who will finish second - and perhaps become the establishment candidate to take on Trump and Iowa caucuses winner Ted Cruz. | For the last few weeks the drama on the Republican side has been the identity of the candidate who will finish second - and perhaps become the establishment candidate to take on Trump and Iowa caucuses winner Ted Cruz. |
For a while it looked like that man would be Florida Senator Marco Rubio, but he seems destined for a middle-of-the-pack finish after a flop in Saturday's debate. Instead it could be John Kasich. But the Ohio governor has little in the way of campaign infrastructure set up in the southern states that vote next in the primary process. | For a while it looked like that man would be Florida Senator Marco Rubio, but he seems destined for a middle-of-the-pack finish after a flop in Saturday's debate.

Tuesday's results are likely to lend little clarity to the question of who gets the backing of mainstream Republicans. That's good news for Mr Cruz and Mr Trump, who will benefit from a fractured establishment field for at least a while longer. | |
After the projections were announced, Mr Sanders tweeted: "When we stand together, we win. Thank you, New Hampshire!" He also urged his supporters to "stay in line" and continue voting, amid long queues and traffic outside polling stations. | After the projections were announced, Mr Sanders tweeted: "When we stand together, we win.

Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, Robby Mook, said in a memo that they expected the race for the Democratic nomination "very likely" to be decided in March. | |
The former secretary of state acknowledged before the polls that Mr Sanders had a natural advantage in New Hampshire because he represents the neighbouring state of Vermont as senator. | |
