Biden and Warren will likely leave New Hampshire without delegates

New Hampshire is looking like a bust for two once-promising candidates.

Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) are not projected to win any delegates in Tuesday night's New Hampshire primaries. With half of precincts reporting, Warren has 9.4 percent of the state's Democratic vote and Biden had 8.6, below the 15 percent they'll need to earn a delegate, CNN reports.

Warren and Biden both came at least 10 percent behind the top three candidates with 56.9 percent of precincts reporting on Tuesday. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was in the lead with 27.1 percent, followed by former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg with 23.6 percent and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) at 19.7 percent.

New Hampshire has 24 delegates up for grabs, making it a pretty small piece of the 3,979-delegate puzzle that makes up the country. A candidate will have to win half of those delegates to win the Democratic nomination.
