Former US President Donald Trump has moved closer to the Republican presidential nomination after defeating Nikki Haley in New Hampshire’s primary.

“We won New Hampshire three times now, three. We win it every time, we win the primary, we win the generals,” Trump said on Tuesday in his victory speech.

Haley, meanwhile, has pledged to continue her campaign. “This race is far from over,” she told her suppoorters. “There are dozens of states left to go and the next one is my sweet state of South Carolina.”

“I’m a fighter, and I’m scrappy, and now we’re the last ones standing next to Donald Trump,” she added.

Trump has won three Republican primaries in New Hampshire. However, he has not won a general election there, having lost to Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020.

Earlier in January, Trump won the Iowa caucuses, strengthening his status as the front-runner in the Republican primary.
