Donald Trump won the key New Hampshire primary Tuesday, moving him ever closer to locking in the Republican presidential nomination and securing an extraordinary White House rematch with Joe Biden.
With vote counting ongoing, Trump’s final margin of victory was unclear, but his sole remaining challenger Nikki Haley was quick to insist she would fight on.
In a rambling victory speech — loaded with his trademark dark warnings about immigration as he continued to lie about winning the 2020 election — 77-year-old Trump attacked Haley and said that when the primary contest reaches her home state of South Carolina, “we’re going to win easily.”
In her own speech, Haley insisted that the race was “far from over” and told supporters that Democrats actually want to run against her former boss, due to his record of sowing “chaos.”
“They know Trump is the only Republican in the country who Joe Biden can defeat,” Haley, 52, said.
Despite now adding New Hampshire to his previous easy victory in Iowa — and looking near unstoppable to become the Republican candidate in November — Trump kept to his hard-right messaging, with no hint of reaching out to the more moderate voters who supported Hailey.বিস্তারিত
