Trump prevails in the GOP primary in New Hampshire

Former President Donald Trump will win New Hampshire's Republican primary, defeating Nikki Haley and strengthening his grip on the Republican Party.

His primary victory, eight days after his dominant win in the Iowa caucuses, hastens Trump's path to a third consecutive Republican presidential nomination.

His campaign intends to wrap up the primary early, with landslide victories in early-voting states, and then effectively clinch the nomination by mid March.
