GOP front-runner Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders have been declared the winners of the first primary of the 2016 election season in New Hampshire Tuesday.
It's especially a big night tonight in the Republican race for the nomination, as several GOP candidates had been competing for the coveted second spot behind Trump, who led in New Hampshire polls by double-digit margins for months.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich claimed the GOP's second spot Tuesday.
After results were posted, the Huffington Post ran with the headline, "A racist, sexist demagogue just won the New Hampshire primary."
CNN's Wolf Blitzer declared the victory represents a "major, major win for Donald Trump."
And CNN's Jack Tapper said Trump's win is a "remarkable thing to behold."
The New Hampshire Secretary of State William Gardner predicted 550,000 ballots would be cast, a turnout of about six in 10 registered voters.
A CNN exit poll Tuesday found about 75 percent of GOP voters said they were very worried about the U.S. economy, 60 percent said they were very worried about terrorism, and 90 percent said they were dissatisfied with the federal government.
And an ABC News exit poll found two-thirds of Republican voters said they favor a temporary ban on U.S. entry for Muslims who are not U.S. citizens, an idea that originated with Trump in December. Also, nearly half of GOP voters said they want a candidate from "outside the political establishment."
