Trump wins New Hampshire primary - 1/23 (FULL LIVE STREAM)

Join The Washington Post as voters in New Hampshire head to the polls for the country’s first primary election of the 2024 election cycle — a primary that became a two-horse race between former president Donald Trump and former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley. This New Hampshire primary is unusual: the frontrunner on the Republican ballot, Trump, is facing 91 criminal charges — and legal questions about whether he’s even eligible to run — while New Hampshire Democrats mounted a write-in campaign for President Biden, who was absent from the state’s Democratic ballot. Early in the evening, Trump was projected to top former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley in the polls, according to the Associated Press.

New Hampshire’s primary could indicate whether Haley’s position, as the only Trump alternative on the Republican ballot, might rally more voters behind her. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ended his campaign on Sunday, less than a week after he finished second in the Iowa caucuses, and endorsed Trump. “It’s clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance,” DeSantis said in a video message.

The first-in-the-nation primary is happening eight days after the Iowa caucuses, where Trump won by a historic margin. Haley came in third.

The Democratic primary, and Biden’s absence on the ballot, is expected to have little consequence: The president has so far seen little competition for the Democratic nomination.
