The arch-favorite of the American right Donald Trump won the Republican primary in New Hampshire on Tuesday January 23 against his rival Nikki Haley, moving a little closer to the nomination and a return match against Joe Biden in the November presidential election. According to television projections and more than 60% of the ballots counted, Donald Trump won approximately 54% of the votes against 44% for his former ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley.
If she immediately congratulated the former tenant of the White House (2017-2021) for her victory in this small northeastern state where she made a good showing and has a number of supporters, Nikki Haley affirmed that “the race (was) far from over”. And she warned her Republican camp that“a Trump inauguration would be a victory for Biden” next November 5.
Trump in a good position
Since his defeat in November 2020, which he never admitted to President Biden and while he faces four criminal trials this year, Donald Trump is determined to take revenge on his Democratic rival.
In a speech by “victory”, the real estate tycoon who over the past ten years has shaken up American democracy, once again mocked his only competitor whom he urged to withdraw. At 77, he once again attacked President Biden, 81, “the worst in history” the United States, “a country in decline and failing”.
The Joe Biden campaign team acknowledged that with his victory in New Hampshire, Donald Trump had “almost locked in nomination by the Republican Party”. The tycoon had already won the first primary in Iowa on January 15 and, in the past, all the candidates who won the first two votes were nominated by the party. On the Democratic side, Joe Biden also won the Democratic primary in New Hampshire.
