Trump’s main opponent, former governor of South Carolina Nikki Haley, congratulated the ex-president on his victory, but according to her, the race is far from over.
President Joe Biden won the Democratic primary. According to AP agency the possibility of a repeat of his election battle with Trump from 2020 is becoming increasingly clear.
According to the US intelligence website CNN television Biden said that at this point it is already clear that Trump will be the party candidate for the Republicans. In response to his victory, Biden began selling “Together we will beat Trump again” t-shirts as part of his campaign.
Trump was entering the second act of the process by which the Republican Party chooses its candidate for the presidential election as the clear favorite. Originally, more than a dozen candidates ran against him. Some withdrew before the primary vote in Iowa last week, and several other candidates, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, dropped out in light of the results there.

That leaves Haley
Only Haley remains among Trump’s major challengers. In response to the results of the New Hampshire primary, she told her supporters that “the race is far from over.” Congratulating Trump on his victory, she promised to keep fighting and challenged him to a debate, she said Reuters agency. Trump’s nomination for the presidency would be a “Biden victory,” she said.
According to CNN estimates, after more than half of the Republican votes were counted, Trump won 54.4 percent of the vote, while the former US ambassador to the United Nations got 43.6 percent of the vote.
The New Hampshire primary was also held by the local branch of the Democratic Party, but the vote was held without the approval of the party’s national leadership due to internal party disputes. According to AP estimates, President Biden won it, who has no serious rivals in the nomination process. However, his success is more symbolic, since the delegate votes won in New Hampshire will not be taken into account at the summer Democratic nominating convention.
Trump’s easy victories in the first two states indicate his ability to unite the various factions of the Republican Party behind him. But about half of Republican primary participants said they were very or somewhat worried that Trump was too extreme to win the presidential election, according to an AP poll in New Hampshire. Only about a third of respondents said the same about Haley.
