Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota laid into Pete Buttigieg during the Feb. 7 debate in New Hampshire, accusing the former South Bend mayor of lacking the experience required for the presidency, but her own supporters are increasingly likely to choose the Indianan as a backup option. Prior to Iowa, 24% of her supporters backed Warren as a second choice and 23% said Biden, but the latest poll finds 25% backing Buttigieg, up 8 points from before the Iowa caucuses. His supporters, however, break for the other moderate candidates, Biden and Bloomberg.
