Welcome to DailyMail.com’s live coverage of the New Hampshire presidential primary.
Donald Trump and Nikki Haley are locked in a one-on-one battle for the Republican nomination after Ron DeSantis dropped out on Sunday.
Trump heads into the second contest of the GOP White House race with a double-digit lead and looking for a repeat of his landslide Iowa win.
House Republicans didn’t exactly have a banner year in 2023. They made history for all the wrong reasons. Last January, they presided over the most protracted election for speaker in a century, and nine months later, for good measure, lawmakers ejected their leader, Kevin McCarthy, for the first time ever. Last month, the House expelled one of its own, George Santos, for only the sixth time.
The rest of the year wasn’t any more productive. Thanks in part to
As president, Donald Trump imposed an array of deeply divisive immigration restrictions on both Latinos and Muslims. And yet from 2016 to 2020, he increased his share of the vote among both groups. Even some Latino and Muslim voters who opposed Trump’s immigration agenda moved to support him anyway because of his record on other issues, particularly the economy and conservative social priorities.
Now Trump and several of his rivals for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination are doubling down on
Richard Grayson has an unusual hobby: he likes to run for political office. The first time, in 1979, it was a stunt to draw attention to the publication of a book of short stories he had written. Since then, the Brooklyn native, a former college instructor who divides his time between New York, Arizona, and St. Maarten (where he plans to move if Donald Trump wins next November), has run at least nineteen times. Undeterred by losing, he’s been a
Mitt Romney and his family are gathered inside a budget hotel room. It is January, 2008, and the New Hampshire primary is just days away. Romney, a candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination, sits in a high-backed chair, clad in his usual armor: a navy-blue tie, a gleaming white shirt with cufflinks, and dress pants. His wife, Ann, is seated next to him; two of his sons and a daughter-in-law are arrayed around them. Romney’s campaign is going poorly. He
A crucial new phase in the political struggle over abortion rights is unfolding in suburban neighborhoods across Virginia.
An array of closely divided suburban and exurban districts around the state will decide which party controls the Virginia state legislature after next month’s election, and whether Republicans here succeed in an ambitious attempt to reframe the politics of abortion rights that could reverberate across the nation.
After the Supreme Court overturned the nationwide right to abortion in 2022, the issue played

Even as U.S. politics became more contentious and polarized over the past quarter century, a few pockets of the government remained comparatively above the fray, including the courts, which sought to position themselves apart from politics, and state capitols, where pragmatism trumped partisanship.
But those redoubts have fallen in recent years. The Supreme Court has become more ideologically aligned with the Republican Party, and state legislatures host pitched ideological battles. Now institutions that sit at their intersection—state courts, especially state
In April, Janet Protasiewicz, a circuit-court judge in Milwaukee, was elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, shifting its balance of power to a 4–3 liberal majority. Her victory holds enormous implications for abortion rights, labor unions, voting rights, and, perhaps, the integrity of the 2024 Presidential election. (In 2020, the court ruled, by a single vote, against former President Donald Trump’s demand to throw out more than two hundred thousand ballots from the state’s two most populous Democratic counties; Joe
The first Republican primary debate descended into chaos on Wednesday night with the candidates shouting over one another in an effort to make their point as they squabbled on a range of issues from climate change to January 6th to foreign policy.
The stakes were high as the eight candidates searched for a breakout, viral moment that would set fire to their campaigns and give them some momentum to catch up with Trump, who leads by double digits in the
