President Donald J. Trump scored a decisive victory on Tuesday night in New Hampshire, and also set a new record.
President Donald J. Trump scored a decisive victory on Tuesday night in New Hampshire, and also set a new record.
As renowned pollster Rich Baris points out, Trump demolished the record for most votes ever cast for a presidential candidate in an NH primary. The record was previously held by Bernie Sanders in 2016.
In 2016, Sanders received 152,193 votes, crushing Hillary Clinton.
At time of publication, 152,565 votes were cast for President Trump, with 13% of the votes still yet to be tallied.
Trump triumphed over his only remaining competitor, Nikki Haley. This win serves to further solidify Trump's position as the undisputed front-runner in the race for the GOP's 2024 presidential nomination.
As of late Tuesday night, the exact margin of Trump's victory awaited confirmation, but the outcome in the Granite State deals a setback to Haley's attempts to rally an anti-Trump coalition - made up of independents and Democrats - who aimed to impede his progress toward the nomination.
Following Trump's victory, Haley doubled down on staying in the race, assuring her supporters that "this race is far from over."
Trump criticized Haley, saying "somebody ran up to the state all dressed up nicely when it was at seven, but now I just walked up it’s at 14," he said, noting his lead over Haley in the election results. "She was up and I said wow, she’s doing like a speech like she won. She didn’t, she lost.
"We'll head out to South Carolina where I think we're going to win easily. I think we're 50 points up … on a person that was governor, that tells you something, but I felt I should do this because I find it a life you can't let people get away with bullsh*t, okay. And when I watched her, the fancy dress, it probably wasn't so fancy, come up I said what is she doing? We won. And she did the same thing last week."
An astounding 70% of Haley voters were not Republicans.
These states with OPEN PRIMARYs and Same Day registration need to change their laws so we get honest numbers................
Good point.....Haley’s helping no one but Biden....
AND the nutcases financing Trump’s indictments.
Geeez....I’m almost thinking she will switch parties. Is that nuts...Please don’t hurt me....
Britt Hume and Fox were throwing cold water on it saying his support is not broad enough to win the General and needed to change his message from MAGA. Talk about sour grapes.
Faux and the other networks are calling for Haley to be VP to unite the party. If Trump ever did that, he will lose his base, including me.
Trump resurrected and expanded a dying party. The GOP now belongs to MAGA.
But xiden got eleventy billion votes, free fair and transparent
It still goes back to the Stalin line about who counts the votes, sadly
Hey how’s those pipe bomb investigations going
…. Crickets…..
Sorry in a sour mood
Brit has spoiled. Even Waters was angry with him for telling him to tone it down, on HIS (Water's) show.
Haley SHrewish?
I though she was Methodist.....................
Haley got a measly 28% of NH registered Repubs votes.
Trump got a whopping 70%.
She can takeoff that dress now.
Thanks for the info. I live here and didn’t know the Dems had their primary on Feb 3. First time they were held on different dates. It will be interesting to compare turnouts.
That's the bottom line.
If only Haley would go away with her sap-happy “i’m winning” act.
Might disagree with republicrat part, like mittens and lyin er ah Ryan, they serve a higher purpose, and it is not the country, but the uniparty. Power and wealth
Only way Nikki wins is if Trump is taken out.
How? 1. Supreme Court says its OK to pull Trump off the Ballot due to the 18th Amendment—Look what they did on the Texas wire issue. 2. Trump is convicted and sent to jail (or House arrest) while conviction is appealed for Two Years! 3. Trump gets mysteriously sick, or becomes confused. They have poisons that could do that. 4. Trump has an “accident”—plane crash, bird strike, freak lighting hit (drone). 5. Terrorists from Middle East (Iran?) attack Miralago kill lots of folks and are all taken out. That would be best—then we get war with Iran as well, Lots of fake tears a nice funeral and burial with a big monument. Any of these are possible with the Biden/Obama Crew in charge.
Haley’s so-called voters have been unmasked as being Democrats.
Biden ought to send her a thank you note.
OTOH, Haley got enough Democrat votes to win the Democrat Primary. She got one-and-a-half as many Democrat votes as Joe Biden!
Maybe she should just run as a Democrat.
Yep, she has sinister motives.
She is celebrating her big win over someone who isn’t even running? She should celebrate her victory over Ryan Binkley. As far as I know he has not dropped out.
Is pretty sad, will she claim one away from winning in SC too
Second sounds good except when in a two person race
