Biden lowered expectations, a lot.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden predicted — or acknowledged, depending on your view of the polls — that he would likely lose the New Hampshire primary at the beginning of Friday night’s Democratic debate.
Biden, who was the first candidate to speak, sounded a little beleaguered as he mentioned the probable loss (and likely victory by state front-runner Bernie Sanders). Biden finished very poorly in the official unofficial results from the Iowa caucuses on Monday, and has shaken up his campaign leadership while trying to rearrange finances and staffing for the other early states ahead.
New Hampshire voters head to the polls on Tuesday.
