Klobuchar: Trump can't relate to NH voters
In New Hampshire, Klobuchar touts herself as the most moderate candidate.

Co-host Sunny Hostin pressed her on her record as a former prosecutor, where one case in particular has drawn intense scrutiny.
The case centers on Klobuchar's push for a life sentence on a black teenager while she was still in office -- whose defense has recently uncovered evidence suggesting he may be innocent.
Hostin, also a former prosecutor and a mother of a black teenager, said the case would have been her \"worst nightmare.\"

\"I have reviewed the facts of that case, and it is one of the most flawed investigations and prosecutions that I think I have ever seen,\" Hostin continued.
Klobuchar said she thinks all new evidence should be reviewed.
When pressed by @Sunny on @TheView about how her tough on crime approach disproportionally impacted people of color, Sen. Amy Klobuchar says she “worked really hard” to address systematic racism, but “there is so much more work that we have to do.” https://t.co/tmkyrg8m25 pic.twitter.com/FJa2yoJZBw

\"I have been very clear. All of the evidence needs to be immediately reviewed in that case,\" Klobuchar pushed back. \"The past evidence and also any new evidence that has come forward.\"
Hostin pressed Klobuchar further, asking \"you’re a U.S. senator now. You’re a powerful woman. What do you plan to do to right this wrong?\"
Klobuchar repeated her call for reviews of the evidence, \"that is what we must do in the justice system.\"
Klobuchar’s comments come just as she hits the New Hampshire finish line after a noteworthy post-ABC News debate whirlwind weekend in the Granite State.
ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl said it was a \"breakthrough night\" for the Minnesota senator, even calling it her best performance thus far.

In the 24 hours after she stepped off that debate stage, her campaign announced she had raised $2 million, her biggest post-debate fundraising haul yet. They have now raised over $3 million since Friday night.
Moments after her campaign hit $2 million, Klobuchar told an at-capacity crowd in Durham, that she was still running in the race without the money to match some of her opponents.
\"Let's surprise everyone and win the right way, with the right ideas, the boldest ideas, the best ideas, the way to put them into action instead of the biggest bank account or the loudest voice in the room,\" Klobuchar said on Saturday. \"We already have that in the White House.\"
Her crowds in the state are also growing, with up to 1100 people at a Sunday night rally in Nashua, and over 700 attendees at an event just hours before in Manchester.
\"That is the kind of wide tent that we want to have to take on Donald Trump,\" Klobuchar said.
