Nikki Haley’s last stand is over. The 2024 Republican primaries are over. Donald Trump has won the New Hampshire primary, ending all chances that the former president can be stopped. Ron DeSantis, struggling in the Granite State, withdrew from the 2024 race last weekend. While Haley’s showing in the state was solid, it wasn’t enough for her to win. After this primary, there’s no stopping Trump's bid to re-clinch the 2024 Republican nomination. I've seen enough: Donald Trump (R) wins the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary, defeating Nikki Haley (R).— Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) January 24, 2024Decision Desk HQ projects Donald...

Two polls taken after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dropped out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination show former President Donald Trump expanding his lead over former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, the last opponent left standing. A Suffolk University/NBC10 Boston/Boston Globe tracking poll released Monday showed Trump at 57 percent support and Haley at 38 percent. Each candidate gained two points from the Sunday tracking poll. The survey of 500 likely GOP primary voters was conducted from Jan. 20-21. The margin of error is 4.4 percentage points., according to WTBS-TV.

Presidential hopeful Nikki Haley is projecting a path beyond New Hampshire before results are even in, with her campaign releasing a memo clarifying that she is not going anywhere. “It’s officially a two-person race. It’s Nikki Haley vs. Donald Trump,” a memo released by Haley’s campaign on New Hampshire’s primary day reads, boasting of the millions of dollars the campaign has raised. “The political class and media want to give Donald Trump a coronation,” it continues. “They say the race is over.”

I’m all for raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, but my favorite thing in the world is watching the smug fascists in the Never Trump movement deal with failure and despair. Oh, Jonah “Fauntleroy” Goldberg’s having a bad day? In the Nolte household, that piece of news ranks right up there with cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels. “‘Never Trumpers’ are close to giving up hope,” reads the Hill headline. Knowing Never Trumpers are giving up hope means you can keep your bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens. It gets better, so much better…

What's up with these Morning Joe regulars who had cultivated something of a benign image suddenly turning nasty? Yesterday, we noted BBCer Katty Kay with a mocking laugh as she suggested to Charlie Sykes that they do a DeSantis post-mortem, "before we consign him to oblivion and forget his name." Today, it was Eugene Robinson's turn to turn mean. Though Robinson is an ardent liberal, he has something of an avuncular air about him. But both in his current Washington Post column, snidely entitled "The Nation's Gain is Florida's Loss," and on today's Morning Joe, Robinson took nasty swipes at...

Talk of political self-immolation or a party requiring decades to get back on track may seem hyperbolic to some. But it’s understandable when looking at the past four years through the lens of the so-called “Never Trumpers.” The 45th president lost the 2020 election, trailing President Biden by about 7 million votes. He made repeated and false claims of election fraud, in the process fueling the violence of Jan. 6, 2021. He continues to push those falsehoods. He was impeached for his role in Jan. 6 — becoming the only president in American history to be twice impeached. Over the...

The former president has been accused time and again by both Democrats, such as President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, and hawkish Republicans, such as Haley, of being too friendly toward authoritarian regimes such as Russia and North Korea. The same criticism was leveled at Ronald Reagan. When Reagan decided to meet with Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1985, Republican Rep. Newt Gingrich slammed the president’s “weak policies” and called it “the most dangerous summit for the West since Adolf Hitler met with Neville Chamberlain in 1938 in Munich.” (Where else have we heard that?) Obviously, Gingrich was fantastically...

Joe Biden takes all 5 votes in tiny township that is one of the first to announce results on Election Day

Here is the Associated Press: The six registered voters of tiny Dixville Notch in New Hampshire all cast their ballots for Nikki Haley at midnight on Tuesday, giving her a clean sweep over former President Donald Trump and all the other candidates.

The voters were outnumbered more than 10-to-1 by reporters from every corner of the globe — not to mention by a pile of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has won the midnight election in Dixville Notch, N.H., in a landslide. Biden won all five votes in the small New Hampshire township that historically tallies their results just after midnight. In doing so, he gained the first victory on Election Day. "The last candidate to win in a landslide there was Richard Nixon in 1960," tweeted Fox News multimedia reporter Rob DiRienzo.

Bloomberg won two write-in votes in the Democratic Party primary, defeating Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who had one vote; and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who also had one vote.

Developer Les Otten steps up so Dixville Notch can retain claim to electoral fame The tiny New Hampshire community, which traditionally is among the first to cast ballots for president in primaries and the general election, needed a fifth resident.
