Donald Trump beats Nikki Haley in New Hampshire
Donald Trump and Joe Biden have won their respective primaries in New Hampshire.
The former president attacked his last remaining challenger Nikki Haley for remaining in the race even as he’s pulling ahead in the delegate count.
Ms Haley, a former South Carolina governor, said in her speech on Tuesday night that the race is “far from over”.
“There are dozens of states left to go ... and the next one is my sweet state of South Carolina,” she told the crowd in the state capitol of Concord.
A frustrated Mr Trump appeared to threaten his former UN ambassador, saying that she’ll be under investigation for “stuff she doesn’t want to talk about”.
As of 10pm on Tuesday night, Mr Trump was leading Ms Haley in the Granite State by 53.8 per cent to 44.7 per cent with just over half of the votes reported.
Mr Biden did not appear on Democratic ballot papers following a feud with organisers, but a write-in campaign ensured his victory in the symbolic Democratic primary in the state.
Trump’s victory in New Hampshire solidifies his conquest of the GOP
In the days after the attack on the US Capitol, former president Donald Trump seemed on the verge of becoming a politician in exile.
Mr Trump’s decision to spread the lie that Democrats stole the election from him to whip his supporters into such a frenzy that they breached the US Capitol in an attempt to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election offered Republicans — particularly ones who never particularly liked Mr Trump — the opportunity to get off the wagon. It gave them the chance to remove the virus of Trumpism, tell their voters it would not be allowed in the party, and keep the focus on weakening Joe Biden.

Why Nikki Haley says she won’t drop out after losing New Hampshire
And after throwing it all against the wall in the Granite State, Nikki Haley has lost her first head-to-head matchup versus Mr Trump. Despite endorsements from the state’s governor, largest newspaper and even the conservative opinion board at the Wall Street Journal, Ms Haley could not pull out ahead of the former president, who in many of his supporters’ minds should still be considered an incumbent.
So where do we go from here? Why isn’t Nikki Haley dropping out, as did Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy after their respective failures to “shock the media”, in Mr Ramaswamy’s words, in Iowa?

The two New Hampshire towns named after a single place
In Northern Ireland, Londonderry and Derry are the same place – subject to a naming dispute between nationalists and unionists.
Meanwhile, New Hampshire has both a Derry and a Londonderry, situated right next to each other south of Manchester.
As of 9pm ET on Tuesday, no votes had yet been reported from either Derry or Londonderry, but Mr Trump, who was declared the winner earlier in the night was leading in neighbouring Manchester by 57 to 42 per cent with 68 per cent of the votes reported.

Haley says GOP race is ‘far from over’ despite latest defeat to Trump in New Hampshire primary
Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley says that the party’s primary race is “far from over” despite another defeat to Donald Trump.
The former South Carolina governor remained upbeat at her primary night rally in New Hampshire on Tuesday, with predictions that she will pick up more delegates than expected from the Granite State.
“This race is far from over,” Ms Haley told the crowd in Concord, New Hampshire. “There are dozens of states left to go...and the next one is my sweet state of South Carolina.”

‘A Trump nomination is a Biden win and a Kamala Harris presidency,’ Nikki Haley says
Ms Haley said on Tuesday night that “with Donald Trump Republicans have lost almost every competitive election. We lost the Senate. We lost the House. We lost the White House. We lost in 2018. We lost in 2020 and we lost in 2022. The worst-kept secret in politics is how badly the Democrats want to run against Donald Trump”.
“They know Trump is the only Republican in the country who Joe Biden can defeat,” she added.
“You can't fix you can't fix the mess if you don't win an election. You can't fix you can't fix the mess. If you don't win an election,” she said.
“A Trump nomination is a Biden win and a Kamala Harris presidency. I defeat Biden handily. With Donald Trump, you have one bout of chaos after another. This court case, that controversy, this tweet, that senior moment, you can't fix Joe Biden's chaos with Republican chaos,” she said.
