New Hampshire counts midnight primary ballots

The first votes of the first 2020 primary were counted just after midnight in the town of Dixville Notch, New Hampshire. Three of the five total voters wrote in Mike Bloomberg’s name since the former New York City mayor’s name does not appear on the state’s ballot. However, two other towns opened their polls at midnight and skewed the race in favor of Amy Klobuchar. Tony Dokoupil is in New Hampshire, where the recent Iowa caucus mess is fresh on the minds of voters and organizers alike as polls open across the state.

Many NH primary voters are still undecided

Election watchers are tensely waiting to see how New Hampshire’s primary will play out after the mess surrounding the previous week’s Iowa caucus. CBS News’ latest numbers show less than half of likely Democratic voters have made up their minds, meaning Pete Buttigieg, who left Iowa with momentum, could swing uncommitted voters and inch past Bernie Sanders, who would benefit from a high turnout due to his enthusiastic base. Ed O’Keefe is at a polling station where early morning voters will begin deciding the candidates’ fates.

2020 Democrats look to the future

With New Hampshire and Iowa behind them, the Democratic primary candidates are focusing on how they will win the rest of the country. Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders came out of the first two tests victorious, with a surprisingly strong showing from Amy Klobuchar and an equally surprising lackluster finish from former frontrunner Joe Biden. Former Democratic advisers Jamal Simmons and Robby Mook join “CBS This Morning” to discuss what the results could mean for the future of the Democratic ticket.

Trump lashes out at DOJ lawyers in Stone case

Attorney General William Barr and President Trump are both under fire after Democrats accused the two of coordinating the DOJ’s reversal of Roger Stone’s sentencing recommendation. Trump, a longtime friend of Stone, lashed out at the prosecutors who were formerly on the case during media remarks on Wednesday, calling on them to “apologize to a lot of people.” Ben Tracy reports on the fallout after Barr was called to testify in front of the House Judiciary in March.
