CONCORD, New Hampshire — Former President Donald Trump won the nation's first primary Tuesday evening, defeating former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley by about nine points, according to The Associated Press.
Trump received 54.1% support from New Hampshire voters compared to Haley's 45% at the time of writing, the AP projected. The former president has now won the first two nominating contests of the 2024 season, taking 51% of the vote in the Iowa caucuses last week.
President Joe Biden, who did not appear on the ballot due to the new Democratic National Committee (DNC) calendar, won the New Hampshire Democratic primary as a write-in candidate, according to the AP. Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips followed with 20.4 percent ahead of self-help author Marianne Williamson with 4.6 percent.
None of the Democrats will receive delegates from New Hampshire, as the state decided to maintain its first-in-the-nation status.
