Trump defeats Haley to win key New Hampshire primary

Donald Trump wins the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary, the BBC’s US partner CBS projects

It is another significant victory for the former president and puts him in a commanding position to become the party’s presidential candidate in November’s election

His last remaining rival, Nikki Haley, says “this race is far from over”, adding: “I’m a fighter and I’m scrappy”

But Trump says Haley “had a bad night” and was “doing a speech like she won” – as he brought on former rivals Vivek Ramaswamy and Tim Scott to endorse him

Speaking at a campaign stop earlier, front-runner Trump told reporters “I don’t care” if Haley stays in the race, adding “let her do whatever she wants”

Joe Biden is also projected to win the Democratic primary, but because of a fight within the party those results will not be recognised. (BBC)
