Nikki Haley relied heavily on the support of independents and Democrats in the New Hampshire primary, but still lost by a wide margin.
Among Hailey voters in the Granite State, CNN Said, “About seven in 10 people said they were registered as undeclared before Tuesday.”
CNN released a shocking statement based on exit polls. New Hampshire's lax requirements allow voters to cross the border, but future Republican caucuses and primaries will be overwhelmingly made up of registered Republicans.
Trump still performed well, defeating Haley by a double-digit margin in the New Hampshire primary. The Associated Press announced the New Hampshire results within three minutes.
In Iowa, which Trump won by a historic 30 percent margin, it took 31 minutes for the Associated Press to call the race.
With Trump's landslide victory, his path to the nomination seems all but inevitable. Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Debbie Fischer (R-Nebraska) endorsed President Trump within minutes of his victory.
