NASHUA, N.H.—With less than two days until New Hampshire voters go to the polls, Hillary Clinton took a trip to Michigan. And other candidates, including Jeb Bush, said their campaigns will go on no matter what the outcome Tuesday. Donald Trump said he doesn’t need to win New Hampshire, but would like to—though he was notably casual in his campaign effort Sunday.

With the otherwise intense race for the White House seemingly toned down Sunday, it’s easy to forget that this leadoff primary could be make or break for several lagging campaigns.

Republican hopeful Marco Rubio continues to downplay his rough outing in Saturday night’s GOP debate, while touting his overall campaign momentum after his third-place finish in the Iowa caucuses.
