On Tuesday, New Hampshire voters took to the polls in the nation's first presidential primary to cast their ballots to determine who they thought should be the Republican nominee. The race, between former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) and 45th President Donald Trump, was initially too close to call compared to the Iowa caucus, where Trump was declared the winner within 31 minutes. Eventually, however, Trump was declared the winner at approximately.
Most voting locations in the Granite State closed around 7 PM EST, while some remaining townships closed their polling locations at 8 PM EST. Once Trump was declared the winner at 8:02 PM EST by the Associated Press, President Trump had the support of 54.1% support while Haley had 45.0% support with 17 percent of the vote in. Polling prior to the results had Trump at 53.9 percent support compared to Haley's 36.3 percent, meaning that Haley overperformed in the race.
Haley's defeat in the New Hampshire primary is a significant blow to her campaign and could potentially cause her to drop out of the race ahead of her home state, South Carolina's primary, on February 24. According to Five Thirty Eight, Trump has the support of 62.2 percent of South Carolinians, while former Gov. Haley has only 25 percent backing.
Given her campaign loss, Nikki Haley will have to decide whether her campaign, like the state's motto, will Live Free or Die.
