Former President Donald Trump won the Republican primary in New Hampshire on Tuesday. This victory has further given him the opportunity to run for president in the November elections.
This result marks a step back for former US ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, who invested considerable time and financial resources to defeat Trump.
Thus, Haley was the last challenger in the Republican race after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ended his presidential campaign over the weekend, allowing her to campaign as the only alternative to Trump.
She intensified criticism of the former president, questioning his mental acuity and presenting herself as a unifying candidate who would bring change for generations to come. But her campaign did not attract enough voters.
If Trump wins the Republican Party nomination, it would be his third time running for the White House. The easy victories in both states show Trump's ability to unite the various Republican currents around him. He won the support of evangelical conservatives who hold sway with more moderate voters in the states of Iowa and New Hampshire, which he hopes to replicate as the primaries expand to other US states.
Meanwhile, Haley was unable to take advantage of New Hampshire's more moderate political tradition. Her bid to become the Republican standard bearer is fading fast. She will participate in the Republican primary in South Carolina on February 24.
The former governor of that state is hoping for a victory in South Carolina, which would give her campaign momentum heading into the March 5 Super Tuesday primary. But in a deeply conservative state where Trump enjoys huge popularity, it may be difficult to realize Hailey's ambitions, and if she loses in her home state there could be political consequences for her.
