The winner of tonight's Democrat primary in New Hampshire is too close to call but one thing is crystal clear: former Vice President Joe Biden got destroyed. 

Not only did Biden place fifth, but tonight's primary will give him zero delegates as he desperately attempts to put a win on the board in South Carolina. 

Earlier today Biden left New Hampshire early, hours before the polls closed, and flew to South Carolina. From there, he gave a speech to supporters about his supposed way forward in the race. During his remarks, he confused Nevada with New Hampshire. The Nevada caucuses don't take place until February 22. 

"When you hear all these pundits and experts, cable tv talkers, talking about the race, tell them: it ain’t over, man. We’re just getting started. Our votes count too. We’re not going to let anyone take this election away from me," Biden said.

The Biden campaign has been banking on a win in South Carolina since the beginning. He must win there if he wants his campaign to survive.
