This outcome suggests moderate Democrats still connect better with New Hampshire voters than the further left options.
The progressive side pushed hard but it looks like most primary voters wanted someone with more experience in office.
Pappas has done solid work on local issues like veterans affairs so his win feels like the practical choice.
