Donald Trump won the key New Hampshire primary on Tuesday, moving him ever closer to locking in the Republican presidential nomination and securing an extraordinary White House rematch with Joe Biden.
With around 90 per cent of votes counted, Trump’s winning margin hovered at about 11 percentage points, but his sole remaining challenger Nikki Haley vowed to fight on.
In a rambling victory speech Trump, 77, attacked Haley and said that when the primary contest reaches her home state of South Carolina, “we’re going to win easily”.
Trump’s remarks followed a series of angry posts on his Truth Social app, calling her “DELUSIONAL”.
