Coming from a historic victory in Iowa caucuses, former President Donald Trump has once again trumped its lone rival, Nimarata “Nikki” Haley, during the New Hampshire primary last Tuesday.
Still, Nimarata refuses to drop out. During a speech in front of her supporters, the former South Carolina governor insists that the “race is far from over.”
Worse, Haley appears to deflect on Trump the issues thrown against her, in an attempt to smear the leading Republican nominee despite the lack of evidence.
“…a Trump nomination is a Biden win and a Kamala Harris president,” claimed Haley.
However, the fact remains that Haley failed to bring down the former president.
Trump has just launched a historic campaign. He scored wins in Iowa and New Hampshire with more than 50 percent of the vote despite facing 91 felony charges in different states.
Trump finished New Hampshire with 54.6 percent of votes, leading Haley by more than ten points. His win cemented his place toward securing a third Republican presidential nomination. As noted by CNN, Trump is the first non-incumbent GOP candidate in the modern era to win both the Iowa and New Hampshire contests.
During his victory speech in Nashua, Trump said, we had one hell of a night tonight.”
Sen. Tim Scott and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, whom he said, “the only person more angry than, let’s say me, but I don’t get too angry, I get even,” joined Trump on stage.
Trump also countered Haley’s remarks, “Let’s not have somebody take a victory when she had a very bad night.”
On the other side of the fence, Biden won the New Hampshire Democratic primary, through a write-in campaign.
The Democratic National Party reshuffled the primary calendar and pushed to move the South Carolina primary earlier than the New Hampshire.
The New Hampshire opposed the plan and pushed for the primary on Tuesday. A decision that does not suit Biden leading him to decide to skip the state and not campaign in the area either. The Democratic National Committee also decided to strip the state of its delegates.
However, Biden’s volunteers campaigned among voters to write in Biden on their ballots.
Despite POTUS’ victory in the Democratic Party primary in New Hampshire, this doesn’t give him any gain in the presidential race in terms of securing delegates needed to ensure candidacy.
Write-in votes for the Democratic Party are still being processed, however, while most of the votes are in favor of Biden, some Democrats write in “ceasefire” on the ballots to express their outrage over the Israel and Hamas war.
