Trump Victory
Donald Trump won the New Hampshire Republican primary with about 54% of the vote. Haley acknowledged her defeat but insisted the race is far from over. The result consolidates Trump's front-runner status.
Haley's Strategy
Haley placed her hopes on New Hampshire's large pool of independent voters. Trump reached only 31% of independents in the state. Despite her efforts, she failed to close the gap.
Trump's Dominance
Trump's victory came after DeSantis withdrew and endorsed him. He has rallied a solid base despite facing four criminal trials. Roughly half of New Hampshire Republicans are worried he is too extreme.
Looking Ahead
South Carolina is set for February 24. Haley warned that a Trump nomination would be a Biden victory. Trump mocked his lone rival and set his sights on Biden.
