Tulsi Gabbard, who campaigned almost daily in New Hampshire over the past three months, finished in the single digits in the Democratic presidential primary.

But at a post-election party at a Manchester bar Tuesday night, Gabbard said she's in the campaign for the long haul.

"While I hope you have a good night sleep tonight, we’re back to work tomorrow. I’m not joking," she said, "I’m not joking. We’re going to South Carolina."

Gabbard finished with 3 percent of the vote in New Hampshire. She has criticized national Democrats for setting criteria that have kept her out of recent televised debates.
