The New Hampshire primary is tonight, which will give us a better idea of who will win the Democratic and Republican tickets.
We are less than 10 months away from the presidential election, which means we’re going to hear each party’s nomination in no time at all. The campaign trail has already been blazing for the past year, with things heating up down the stretch here before Republican and Democratic nominations are made for the general election ticket.
The New Hampshire Primary is yet another major step towards hearing who will win the nominations in either party, and it will show us how much progress — or lack thereof — has bee made by each candidate since Iowa.
Iowa Caucus results showed that Donald Trump isn’t the frontrunner he once was or perhaps feels he is. It will be interesting to see which way voters sway since we’ve had a Republican debate in-between Iowa and New Hampshire. The Democratic side of things are tighter as far as the candidates are concerned but it’s wide open as to who will get the nomination. Hillary Clinton won Iowa, but Bernie Sanders continues to hang in there and is hoping for a huge win in New Hampshire to reestablish himself as a presidential hopeful.
The polls were packed on Tuesday, with lines reported as being out the door and around the block in some sectors. It’s clear that this is going to be a massive predictor in which way each party’s base is swinging this close to the nominations being announced .
Here are the results from the New Hampshire Primary.
