| | Trump and Biden win New Hampshire primaries |
Donald Trump and President Joe Biden have won the New Hampshire primaries.
The former president clinched his second straight victory in his quest for the 2024 GOP nomination after knocking out the rest of the field with a commanding win in Iowa. GOP rival Nikki Haley, meanwhile, came up short in her effort to capitalize on her strength with independent and anti-Trump voters eager for a fresh voice to lead the party.
Biden prevailed even though he wasn’t on the ballot. His supporters mounted a write-in campaign on his behalf to avoid a loss, even though the contest awards no delegates because it violates the national party rules he pushed for. | |

Phillips bet big on New Hampshire, sinking considerable time and significant personal money into a bid to get Democratic voters to elevate a three-term Minnesota congressman in a presidential challenge to the party’s incumbent. | |
