Trump makes history after with victory in New Hampshire Republican presidential primary

Former President Donald Trump wrote a new page in the history of the Republican presidential primaries by obtaining consecutive victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, something unprecedented for an unofficial candidate.

The press declared Trump the winner in New Hampshire around 11:30 pm on Tuesday. With 80% counted, the former president had 54.8% compared to Ambassador Nikki Haley's 43.6%.

Haley's proposal failed to resonate with Republican voters, among whom she received only 25% support, according to an exit poll published by CNN. Which means 70 percent of Haley's voters in New Hampshire aren't even registered Republicans.

Despite her losses in the first two states, Haley vowed to stay in the race. “I have bad news for the political establishment: I'm not going anywhere ... except my sweet South Carolina,” he wrote defiantly on the social network X.

Trump's victory marks the first time in modern history that a non-government candidate has won contested primaries in Iowa and New Hampshire to open an election season.

In response to Haley's claims that it is a two-way race, Trump called her an “impostor,” recalling that she came third in Iowa. "She gives a speech as if she had won. She didn't win. She lost," he shot.

Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy maintained that “the general elections begin tonight” and predicted a landslide victory for Trump in November.

Political scientist David Richards noted that Haley was doing worse in the polls, but lost by a smaller margin, showing that "moderate Republicans are an important part of the party and she was able to rally them."

However, he felt that Haley ran out of time.

“It's like a team that just decided to play in the last quarter, with five minutes left and losing by thirty points. Even if they score touchdowns, it's too late,” he said.

Richards even predicted a defeat for Haley in her home state, South Carolina.

“She will try to capitalize on her good performance to add more moderate Republicans, but she will still lose and will go down after that. We will see her back in 2027 running again,” he predicted.

Trump told his followers that the Republican Party is becoming “more unified every day.”

With two historic victories under his belt, that preaching gains strength while his rival unsuccessfully persists in challenging him.
