In a historic victory, former President Donald Trump secured a convincing win in the New Hampshire primary, signaling a strong start to his 2024 Presidential campaign. Despite some speculation that his rival, Nikki Haley, would concede the race, Trump's triumph has kept the momentum alive as the contest moves on to South Carolina.
Trump's victory in New Hampshire was indeed remarkable, making him the Republican candidate with the highest percentage of votes received by a non-incumbent in the past 50 years. Garnering an impressive 54% of the vote, Trump surpassed the record set by Ronald Reagan in 1980 and John McCain in 2000. What makes Trump's accomplishment even more significant is that he also won the first contest in Iowa, making him the first non-incumbent Republican to achieve such a feat.
