Voting underway in New Hampshire primary race

From Morning Report, 8:55 am on 12 February 2020

Voting is underway in New Hampshire in the first primary of this year's US elections.

Senator Bernie Sanders is the favourite to win the primary, after narrowly coming second behind Pete Buttigieg in Iowa.

But the handful of voters in two tiny towns where polls opened at midnight plumped for the billionaire Mike Bloomberg - who was not even on the ballot - and a centrist senator, Amy Klobuchar.

President Donald Trump was also in New Hampshire for a campaign rally yesterday.
