MANCHESTER — Amy, Mayor Pete, Yang, Steyer, Warren, Tulsi, Bernie, Deval, Bennet and Biden. It was a huge, raucous party for thousands of New Hampshire Democrats last Saturday as they heard from these 10 Democratic presidential candidates.
Together for the last time before New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary on Tuesday, the 2020 McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner was a pep rally calling for unity with little room for opponent bashing. All ire of the night targeted Republican President Donald Trump.
