The ghosts of presidential campaigns past at Robie's Country Store in Hooksett, NH.

The eyes of the political world are on New Hampshire as candidates, supporters, and reporters descend upon the Granite State for Primary Day.

Do Democratic voters #FeelTheBern? Will Trump triumph on the Republican side? Fortunately, these questions will be answered in a few hours. But in the mean time, we check-in with reporters and various campaign supporters from Connecticut who have been making the drive to our neighbors in the north.

GUESTS:

  • Tom Breen - Reporter for the New Haven Independent
  • Daniel Barrick - Senior editor of politics and public policy for New Hampshire Public Radio 
  • Kiernan Majerus-Collins - Former Martin O'Malley supporter, currently backing Hillary Clinton
  • Delaney Herndon - Hillary Clinton supporter
  • Debra Cohen - Bernie Sanders supporter
  • Joe Visconti - Donald Trump supporter
