Here are some important stories to keep an eye on in the lead-up to the US Presidential elections, from former US President Donald Trump’s victory in New Hampshire to Nikki Haley’s response to the defeat..

Trump wins the primary in New Hampshire.

With his victory in the New Hampshire party primary on Tuesday, Trump gained significant support from Republican voters. Compared to Haley, who received 43% of the vote and 8 delegates, he received over 54% of the vote and 11 delegates.

The Iowa primary was held on January 15, and there are 2,429 Republican delegates up for grabs between then and June 4. A minimum of 1,215 of these delegates are required for the candidate to secure the Republican nomination. As of right now, CNN reports that following the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries, Trump has 32 delegates and Haley has 17.

After trump wins New Hampshire, he attacked Haley in a speech to his supporters, calling it a “very bad night.” He remarked, “She [Haley] did very poorly actually,” according to CNN. “She’s going to win, she’s going to win, the governor declared. Then she made a huge mistake.

 Haley is primarily focused on the February 24 South Carolina primary, which has the potential to make or break her campaign. “Liking about me and my track record is Donald Trump’s only tactic. There’s no way that will work in South Carolina. Hours after the NH defeat, she wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter): “The people of South Carolina know that I cut their taxes, passed one of the toughest immigration bills in the country, and moved thousands from welfare to work.”
