Klobmentum

when a presidential primary campaign has an illusionary appearance of upward momentum after a surprise third-place finish in an early state, only for the campaign to quickly fizzle out.

Originates with Any Klobuchar’s 2020 presidential campaign.

“yeah, she placed third in New Hampshire, but what happened next? All it was was Klobmentum. Her career ended within a few weeks.”
