Former President Donald Trump won the New Hampshire GOP primary on Tuesday, the Associated Press projects.
The polls are soon closing in the New Hampshire GOP primary election between former President Trump and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.
According to a local ABC affiliate, “many polling locations will stay open until 7 p.m., 7:30 p.m. or 8 p.m. Polling hours vary across the state.”
New Hampshire is the second state to hold a primary election following Iowa, which Trump won.
The latest polls showed Trump leading Haley by a wide margin just before Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., who suspended his campaign on Sunday ahead of Tuesday’s election in the granite state.
According to USA Today as of Sunday, InsiderAdvantage had Trump 27 points above Haley while a Boston Globe/Suffolk poll showed a 19-point advantage for Trump. Washington Post/Monmouth had it at 18 points and WHDH-TV/Emerson had Trump winning by 16 points.
