donald trump seeks to achieve a resounding victory on Tuesday in New Hampshire that guarantees victory in the first two Republican primaries, which would make a rematch with the president more likely Joe Biden in the November general elections.
The big question is whether Nikki Haley, his latest main rival and former ambassador to the UN, can reduce the former president’s margin or even beat him. Haley has dedicated a significant amount of time and financial resources to New Hampshire in hopes of attracting her famously independent-minded voters.
In the first results released Tuesday morning, all six registered voters in the small town of Dixiville Notch voted for haley and not for trump. This resort town is the only one in New Hampshire that decided to vote at midnight this year.
Trump won the New Hampshire primary in his first presidential run in 2016, but some of his allies lost key races in the midterm elections two years ago. haley He must also contend with an opponent deeply tied to the base of the Republican Party and who has focused on winning that state decisively enough to end the competitive phase of the primary.
If successful, Trump would be the first Republican presidential candidate to win in open races in Iowa and N.H. since both states began to lead the electoral calendar in 1976, a clear indication of their iron dominance over the party’s most loyal militancy.
The allies of trump they already pressure haley, former governor of South Carolina, to drop out of the race before the primary in that state on February 24. These calls will intensify if the former president easily wins New Hampshire after his 30-point victory in the Iowa caucuses. haley he finished third in that state, behind Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who dropped out of the campaign on Sunday.
Yeah haley drops out of the race after Tuesday’s vote, this would effectively decide the Republican primary on its second stop, long before the vast majority of Republican voters across the country have been able to vote. Haley insisted Tuesday morning that New Hampshire won’t be his last round.
“Let’s go to South Carolina”, he declared to the press. “This has always been a marathon. It has never been a short career.” He noted that he has survived longer than other candidates. “I didn’t get here by luck.“, said. “I got here because I have worked harder and been smarter than the rest. So I’m going to run against Donald Trump, and I’m not going to talk about any obituaries”.
