New Hampshire held its Primary today. Fred Lucas reported that 89 percent of precincts had reported, and Donald Trump had 54.8% of the vote with Nikki Haley with 43.7% (162,664 votes to 129,693). Joe Biden won the Primary for the Democrats even though his name was not on the ballot and had to be written in.
Trump not only becomes the first candidate
to win three presidential primaries in New Hampshire but the first to win both
Iowa and New Hampshire since 1976, when President Gerald Ford, a fellow
Republican, did it.
Yet Haley surpassed expectations in New
Hampshire, as the most recent polls showed Trump with a lead of 58% to Haley’s
36% in the Real Clear Politics average. About 4,000 Democrats switched party
affiliation to Republican or undeclared by an October deadline in order to vote
in the GOP primary, NPR reported.
About
those Democrats who switched party affiliation to vote for Nikki: 4,000 is 3.1%
of 129,693. If we took that 3.1 percent from Nikki and added it to Trump’s
total, Nikki’s percentage would be 40.6 percent and Trump would increase to
57.9. Right now, it looks that there will be another Trump-Biden match up. Do
you expect Biden to receive another 81,000,000 votes?
