DURHAM, N.H. (WHDH) - While many of the Democratic Presidential candidates are in Washington for the impeachment trial, former Vice President Joe Biden and former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg are staying busy on the campaign trail in New Hampshire.
Buttigieg took time out of his campaign schedule Friday to respond to our exclusive 7NEWS/ Emerson College poll that dropped Thursday night.
“It is all about demonstrating that we can win and that’s Iowa, that’s New Hampshire and the other early states,” he said. “We see that we are right in the mix among the voters who are paying the closest attention. But, still, a lot can happen between those few days between now and the caucuses and the voting.”
The poll currently has him sitting in sixth place — two points down from where he was polling in December.
Though he is far behind the front-runners Biden and Sanders, Buttigieg said he is not concerned by his standings.
