MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — A day after jumping into the presidential race, Democrat Martin O'Malley vowed Sunday to fight hard in New Hampshire, home of the first presidential primary and a stronghold for Hillary Rodham Clinton.
"I'm used to tough fights, I've always been drawn to them," O'Malley told reporters after greeting voters at a diner.
O'Malley kicked off his presidential bid Saturday and is making trips to the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire. He is the third Democrat to enter the race, behind Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, and still remains unknown by many voters. He has campaigned alongside New Hampshire candidates frequently in the last several elections, but is struggling to gain traction in a state where the Clintons have long been popular.
Clinton won the 2008 New Hampshire primary, and many of the state's influential Democrats are already actively backing her 2016 candidacy.
