Former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden won the Republican and Democratic primaries in New Hampshire respectively on January 23rd, though Republican candidate Nikki Haley has not dropped out of the race.
On their website CNN shares the results of the Republican New Hampshire Primary writing that Trump had 176,342 votes at 54.4% and Haley had 140,247 votes at 43.2% (January 25th).
Even though Haley lost the New Hampshire primary Eric Bradner for CNN writes that she “vowed” to stay in the race and will be focusing on the primary in South Carolina, which is her home state and takes place on February 24th (January 23rd).
In the same article published by CNN, Bradner remarks that Haley will be “battling history” as “In modern presidential campaign history, no non-incumbent has won the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary without going on to win his party’s nomination” (January 23rd).
Former President Trump is quoted after the primary in a Fox News article written by Paul Steinhauser saying that Nikki Haley “had a very bad night” (January 23rd).
Michael Williams and Gregory Krieg write in a separate CNN article about President Biden’s success in New Hampshire on the other side of the aisle, saying he was not one of the 21 candidates on the ballot, but was able to win through a write-in-campaign started by Biden supporters (January 24th).
Williams and Krieg write further about Biden’s win in the CNN article stating, “While the Biden campaign will welcome the result as a positive sign of enthusiasm for the 81-year-old’s reelection bid, the victory is just that: symbolic. Because of the internal party clash, Biden did not register for the primary and the results will not yield any nominating delegates” (January 24th).
CNN shares the results of the Democratic Primary on their website, writing that President Biden received 65.5% of the vote with 79,470 votes in total (January 25th).
