BERNIE SANDERS, the lone socialist candidate among Democratic contenders for the US presidency, is now the official frontrunner for the party’s nomination to take on incumbent Donald Trump in next November’s presidential election.
Sanders won the popular vote in both the February 3 Iowa caucus and Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary, although upstart moderate Pete Buttigieg leads by two in the delegate count, pending the conclusion of a recanvass in Iowa.
However, Buttigieg’s star may start to fade as the campaign moves to more diverse states like Nevada and South Carolina where the 38-year-old mayor could struggle to win minority support.
