After former President Trump secured victory in New Hampshire's Republican primary on Tuesday night, President Biden set his sights on a rematch in the 2020 presidential race.

“It's clear that Donald Trump is going to be the Republican nominee. And what I want to say to this country is that there is no more at risk. Our democracy. Our personal freedom — choice. From the right to vote to the right to vote. Our economy is experiencing the strongest recovery in the world since COVID-19. Everything is at stake,” Biden said in Tuesday's message to voters. mentioned in.

Although Biden did not appear on the ballot in the Granite State, more than half of the state's voters wrote his name on their ballots and won the Democratic primary. He thanked voters for the “historic validation” of his commitment to democracy. He called on independent voters and Republicans to “join us as Americans.”

“Let's remember: We are the United States of America. And if we do it together, there is nothing we can't do,” Biden's message said.

Immediately after voting closed around 8 p.m., Hill/Decision Desk headquarters ruled the Republican race in Trump's favor. Trump received 54.6 percent support with more than 170,000 votes, beating his only remaining Republican challenger, Nikki Haley, who had 43.4 percent support.

Following Trump's victory, the Trump campaign emailed a statement claiming, “This campaign is over!” He thanked voters for their support through “all the witch hunts, raids, indictments and arrests.” In his post-primary speech, President Trump mocked Haley in his post-primary speech, saying the campaign wasn't over yet.

In an interview with FOX News Digital, President Trump urged the former South Carolina governor to suspend his campaign. Because if she stays in office, she “will have to continue her spending spree instead of spending on Biden.”

Haley has now lost twice to Trump, but said she is not giving up yet.

Mr. Trump leads Mr. Biden by 1.3 percentage points, according to an average of national polls.
