It is about 8.44 p.m. here on the East Coast, and I can report to you that Donald Trump has officially won the New Hampshire GOP primary. The Associated Press, which is what we go off of, called the race for him a mere three minutes after the polls closed at 8 p.m. To be fair, some of the polling places in New Hampshire closed at 7, so they were able to tabulate things before the official time came, but still pretty

stunning that they were able to do that. Nikki Haley, actually, one of the reasons I waited to do this is she gave a very early concession speech tonight where she says, well, we almost got half of the vote. Almost, I think, being the key thing there. But more importantly, for our purposes, she says she's not going to be dropping out of the race. So just for tonight, you know, reminder, we're going to have a great show tomorrow morning with Ryan Graham and Emily Jashinskyinski I'll be at the desk with the three of them we'll be going over all the results the video Etc so you can tune in for that but I'll give you some of my initial thoughts just reactions uh that I wanted to share so I'm gonna go ahead and try

and and uh put some of this on the screen that you guys can see okay so what we can see in front of us as I said is some of the votes still being tabulated here. Trump currently standing around 53.4%, Nikki Haley at 45.7%. The estimated margin of victory that we see is about Trump plus 11, roughly like that. So not the domination that he was able to demonstrate in Iowa, but this is still a head-to-head thing, and he's very likely to come out over 50% or so. More importantly, though, what we can see from some of the counties and things that have come in so far is that all of the areas which are colored in by red, either light or dark that I'm hovering my mouse over, those are the places that are in the more suburban and rural parts of the state. Those are the places that are overwhelmingly the more suburban and rural parts of the state.

Those are the places that are overwhelmingly going for Trump. Now, though, let's take something that's deep blue, and we can see that are areas like Hanover. Hanover is the perfect example. That is the most liberal place in the state of New Hampshire. I believe that's where Dartmouth College is actually located or somewhere nearby. So why would that matter? Well, that's where the vast majority of these college educated voters would be. Another thing to keep in mind is that the New Hampshire primary allowed people who were not Republicans to actually register and be able to vote as long

as they did so a couple of days ago. And from the overwhelming amount of data that we were able to see, a lot of Democrats decided to cross over and to vote for Nikki Haley, which definitely influenced her overall vote total. And also we had some people who were undeclared and or undecided type voters. So all of these, I think, are pretty important data points and things we'll be going over a lot tomorrow. But I think that's kind of like one of my major top New Hampshire said that they were not part of the MAGA movement, whereas the majority of Iowa caucus goers did say that they were part of the MAGA movement. Similar whenever it came down to whether the election was stolen or not.

About 49 percent of New Hampshire GOP primary voters did say that the election was stolen, as opposed to only 29 percent, for example, with Iowa. So you can see it's skewed much more in like a more moderate and or liberal direction. Of course, that it happens whenever you let moderate and or actual Democrats and or liberals vote in a GOP primary. So we can't discount that. And also it demonstrates the long, hard road that Nikki Haley has ahead of her, because even though the next state is about a month away, that's her own home state for South Carolina. That is not she's not going to have the same level of dynamics that will be able to come and to save her. For those who were wondering, by the way, I can also report that the Democratic primary has officially been called by the Associated Press as well for Joe Biden. But

we expected that the overall vote totals are just pretty unclear right now because all of those Biden votes were write ins. And obviously, you know, we're waiting to see which writings were for Biden, which write in said ceasefire. Approximately 70.8 percent of the tabulated votes so far are, quote, unprocessed write ins, even though they can estimate that Joe Biden will win that Democratic primary. Waiting to see what the overall vote total will be for Dean Phillips, for Marianne Williamson, for Vermin Supreme, who we learned about today, who was on the show. Kind of, you know, just overall, like kind of what I can see and what is kind of interesting from, you know, with the county by county is that same thing.

You know, Biden just has a lot of dominance pretty much all across the state. But I mean, that was likely and most likely accepted. So anyway, those are some of my initial reactions. My real top line one is just, you know, if I could hammer home anything else that I can is that Nikki Haley is the candidate of the, you know, the more college educated people who are more likely to, you know, not vote for Trump and just vote for Biden crossover. And that's just not going to cut it in a GOP primary. I don't think I can say that enough. And it's going to be the dominant story, I think, as this we have this month kind of twisting ahead of South Carolina primary. Although, let me just say this too. A month is a long time. It's an eternity in politics.

You know, who the hell knows? Think about where we were a month ago in terms of Vivek Ramaswamy, all these candidates and some of the posturing and all that. So, you know, look, Trump could literally get another charge against him. Something could happen with the trial or something could happen with Biden. There could be a global conflagration. We have no idea. And all of these things could have a huge impact on the race. So just keep that in mind.

That's part of the reason likely that she has decided not to drop out of the race. She's going to keep this thing going. And I'm excited to have all of our analysis tomorrow on the show.
