Donald Trump secures a decisive victory in the New Hampshire Republican primary, strengthening his nomination bid and fueling anticipation for a potential Trump-Biden rematch in November

Former President Donald Trump has secured the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary with a decisive victory, further solidifying his path to becoming the party’s nominee for the upcoming election.

With nearly 90% of the vote counted, Trump has secured a twelve-percentage-point lead over his last remaining rival, Nikki Haley, marking another significant win in the race for the GOP nomination.

President Joe Biden acknowledged the inevitability of Trump’s nomination, stating that it is “now clear” the former president will be the Republican candidate in the upcoming election.

However, Trump’s rival Nikki Haley remains defiant. She stated, “I hear the pundits, I see the numbers, but let me be clear – this fight is not finished. We’re heading to South Carolina, where the real battle begins. I won’t back down, and I won’t let the voices of the people be silenced.”

Despite Haley’s determination to fight back, Trump openly criticized her in his victory speech, calling her an “imposter” and suggesting she acted as if she had won when she had not. He had also brought former rivals Vivek Ramaswamy and Tim Scott to endorse him, asserting the growing support within the Republican Party for Trump’s candidacy.

As the race progresses, questions emerge about the viability of Haley’s continued pursuit of the Republican candidacy. On the other hand, the broader Republican primary landscape is witnessing an intensification of the race, with Trump consolidating his position as the frontrunner.

The possibility of a Trump-Biden rematch in the November election looms large, setting the stage for a highly contested and closely watched electoral battle.
