Believe me, I despise Trump, don’t love Biden and am generally not thrilled at the idea of either of them being elected president for another four years. But I accepted a long time ago that this primary is a bust.
The New Hampshire primary election drew candidates to the Granite State, canvassers to the streets and voters to the polls to divy the 22 delegates available. In the Republican primary, Donald Trump was victorious over competitor Nikki Haley, winning 12 and 9 delegates respectively.
Due to conflict between the New Hampshire constitution and the Democratic National Convention, President Joe Biden did not appear on the New Hampshire Primary Ballot, but a successful write-in campaign resulted in the incumbent receiving 63.9% of the vote to Dean Phillips 19.3% and third-place finisher Marianne Williamson’s 4%.
Canvassers from across the country headed to New Hampshire for this year’s first-in-the-nation primary to make a stand for their chosen candidates on Tuesday.
President Joe Biden won New Hampshire’s Democratic primary on Tuesday, despite not officially having his name on the ballot, requiring voters to write-in the president’s name in a landslide Democratic primary.
