Buttigieg optimistic for New Hampshire primary

(30 Oct 2019) Wednesday was the start of the filing period for New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary.

At a rally after filing his paperwork, Buttigieg said New Hampshire is going to catapult him to the nomination and presidency.

The date for the primary hasn't been set, but it's expected to be held Feb. 11, eight days after the leadoff Iowa caucuses. Potential candidates have until Nov. 15 to add their names to the Democratic or Republican ballot.

"There's no question I've got competitors with a near home-field advantage, but I also find that this is a very competitive state," he said referring to the fact that both Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are senators from neighboring states.
