Trump wins New Hampshire primary – Florida Phoenix
Donald Trump won the New Hampshire Republican primary Tuesday, capping off a primary season that saw numerous Republican heavyweights struggle to dislodge his enduring support. The Associated Press called the race at 8 p.m, an hour after most polls in the state had finished. AP also called the Democratic primary for President Joe Biden.
Trump drew on the strength of a dedicated Republican base that preferred to return his presidential style to office than topple him with an alternative. As he had in previous primaries, the former real estate mogul blanketed the state in large-scale rallies, avoiding the retail politics that have long defined the primary. His opponents, particularly Republican Gov. Nikki Haley, invested time in town halls and small venue visits like diners and restaurants.
Around the time of the call by the Associated Press, Haley was trailing Trump by about six percentage points. Haley had received an endorsement from Gov. Chris Sununu, who toured the state attending nearly every event of hers in the weeks ahead of the primary.
In Concord Tuesday night, Haley congratulated Trump on his win, saying he “earned” it. But, she added, “New Hampshire is first in the nation. It is not the last. This race is far from over.”
