Trump Wins New Hampshire Republican Primary

President Donald Trump glided into victory in New Hampshire’s Republican primary on Feb. 11, with roughly 10 percent of precincts reporting, the Associated Press reported.

The president led with roughly 83 percent of the vote at the time of the call and had already amassed more votes in the New Hampshire primary than any incumbent president in history.

Meanwhile, the former Governor of neighboring Massachusetts, William Weld, came in at a distant second with 12 percent of the vote.

The Washington Examiner reports that the president won over 100,000 votes among Republican and independent voters, more than double that of former President Barack Obama when he won among Democratic voters in New Hampshire’s 2012 primary, when he ran uncontested for reelection.

Trump previously won the New Hampshire primary in 2016, but narrowly lost to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the November general election.

Trump has since benefited from strong support from the Republican Party, and his campaign has worked to take control of the nominating process to turn August’s GOP convention into a “four-day infomercial” for his campaign.

Trump held a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire on the evening of Feb. 10. New Hampshire is viewed as the most likely Clinton state to swing toward Trump.

Throughout his attendance at the New Hampshire primary, the President remained typically vocal on Twitter, sharing a number of Tweets about his rivals.
