The Granite State of New Hampshire is gearing up for its primary elections as candidates from both major political parties make their final push to win over voters. While the Republican side has seen a strong showing by former President Donald Trump, recent polling shows a tightening race between Trump and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. However, new numbers released today indicate that Trump is widening his lead, currently ahead of Haley by 19 points. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis trails behind in a distant third place.
The Republican primary in New Hampshire will award 22 delegates, with voting set to take place in just two days. On the Democratic side, however, zero delegates are up for grabs, as a dispute between the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and New Hampshire led to the cancellation of the Democratic primary in the state. The disagreement centered around which state should have the privilege of casting primary votes first.
