Manchester: Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard on Tuesday night said at a rally in the US state of New Hampshire that she is the best person to beat President Donald Trump.
After 9 pm Tuesday as the count was still underway, Gabbard had secured about 3 percent of the vote in the New Hampshire primary.
Gabbard has been renting a place to live in New Hampshire since December and essentially skipped the Iowa caucuses.
She told supporters at the rally she was going to get on a plane to South Carolina and continue her campaign there.
Polls have closed across New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation presidential primary election.
The results are already culling in the Democratic field.
