Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton during New Hampshire's Democratic primary — the first one [1] of the presidential election — according to the AP [2]. Current numbers give him 60 percent of the vote, while Clinton has 38 percent.

Sanders also made history when he became the first Jewish candidate to win a presidential primary [3]. "Together we have sent a message that will echo from Wall Street to Washington, from Maine to California," he said during his victory speech.
