Former President Donald Trump has won the New Hampshire Republican primary against rival, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
This victory for Trump makes a November rematch with President Joe Biden more likely than ever now.
The Associated Press projected that Trump received 54.1% of New Hampshire voters’ support, while Haley received 45%. The former president has now won the first two nominating contests of the 2024 campaign, having received 51% of the vote in the Iowa caucus just last week.
This is Trump’s second victory for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination after crushing the Iowa caucus by 30 percentage points.

“Nikki Haley said she’s running to stop the re-election of Harris-Biden. Yet, without a viable path to victory, every day she stays in this race is another day she delivers to the Harris-Biden campaign. It’s time for unity, it’s time to take the fight to the Democrats, and for Nikki Haley: it’s time to drop out,” said Taylor Budowich, CEO of Make America Great Again Inc.
President Donald Trump is the first non-incumbent Republican presidential candidate to win both the Iowa Caucus and the New Hampshire primary back-to-back.
Nikki Haley’s loss comes after her top surrogate, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, predicted a “landslide” victory for Haley.
Haley is not on the ballot in the Nevada Caucus, and polling shows that she will be defeated in the South Carolina Republican primary.
