Bernie Sanders is projected to narrowly win the New Hampshire Democratic primary contest, a race that also culled the crowded field by two.

The leftwing firebrand won a tight victory over centrist former mayor Pete Buttigieg, who offered a different Democratic vision in the race to take on President Trump in November.

Mr Sanders declared the night “the beginning of the end” of Mr Trump.

The race moves next to the Nevada caucuses on 22 February.

Finishing behind the Vermont senator were two moderates – Mr Buttigieg and Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar, who emerged as a surprise contender by taking third place.

Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren and former vice-president Joe Biden – two erstwhile frontrunners – finished in fourth and fifth places.

Technology entrepreneur Andrew Yang and Colorado senator Michael Bennet both dropped out of the race.
