Former US President Donald Trump won the New Hampshire primary, strengthening his control of the Republican nomination and the likelihood of facing incumbent Joe Biden again in the November presidential election.
The result, reported in the North American press on Tuesday, flies in the face of the expectations of former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, who invested significant time and financial resources in trying to win the state.
With 28% of the votes counted in New Hampshire, Trump led Nikki Haley with 53.8%.
Former US President Donald Trump said he won a “huge victory” in the New Hampshire Republican primary.
“What a great victory,” the tycoon told his supporters Tuesday night after the North American press, with 55% of the votes counted, declared him the night’s winner (53.8% of the vote), nearly leading Haley by 10 percentage points (44). .7%).
Trump took advantage of the crowd of supporters to criticize Nikki Haley, saying the former governor “had a really bad night.”
Haley positioned herself as a leading alternative to Trump after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis withdrew from the race last Sunday, seizing the opportunity to ramp up criticism of the former president, questioning his mental acuity while presenting himself as a unifying candidate who would start generational change in the Republican Party.
