   Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has an early lead in the New Hampshire
   Democratic primary, the first primary of the 2020 presidential race.

   With about 70% of precincts reporting, Sanders had 26% of the vote,
   followed by former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, with 24%,
   Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, a surprising third with 20%, bouncing
   back from a poor showing in the Iowa caucus, and Massachusetts Senator
   Elizabeth Warren, with 9%.

   The rest of the field trail the top four candidates in single digits.

   Entrepreneur Andrew Yang, who is at the bottom of the pack with just 3%
   in the early going, plans to drop out of the race, his campaign
   announced.

   Colorado Senator Michael Bennet also ended his bid for the presidency
