Former President Donald Trump won the New Hampshire Republican primary, CBS News projected, defeating his sole remaining rival Nikki Haley in a victory that further cements his status as the clear front-runner to become the GOP’s 2024 presidential nominee.
While Trump’s final margin of victory remained to be seen as of late Tuesday night, his win in the Granite State deals a blow to Haley’s efforts to unite an anti-Trump coalition of moderate Republicans and independents capable of slowing his march to the nomination.
Speaking after Trump’s victory came into focus, Haley said she would remain in the race, telling supporters that “this race is far from over”.
