Trump Triumphs Over Haley in New Hampshire Primary

By -

 Former President Donald Trump won the Republican primary in New Hampshire Tuesday, the Associated Press projected, marking a major setback for former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's campaign in what was widely viewed as a make-or-break moment for her candidacy after Trump's decisive victory in Iowa last week.


.The race was called for Trump around 8 p.m., with the former president leading Haley 54% to 45% with around 18% of votes counted after polls began closing at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Trump’s win in New Hampshire comes after he won the Iowa caucuses with a historic 51% of votes last week, prompting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to drop out of the race and endorse Trump.

Haley remains Trump’s sole competitor and has expressed plans to stay in the contest at least until the primary in her home state of South Carolina.
Trump predicted a “big loss” for Haley on Tuesday and said he doesn’t care if she stays in the race past the New Hampshire primary, telling reporters he believes Haley voters will back him in the general election if he clinches the nomination.

Republicans have coalesced behind Trump in the days after the Iowa caucuses, with his former competitors in the race—Ramaswamy, South Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.)—campaigning alongside him in New Hampshire. The contest was seen as a crucial test for the viability of Haley’s campaign. Haley posted her strongest poll numbers in the state, bolstered by the significant share of independents who said they would cast their ballots for her over Trump, according to preliminary polls. New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu also endorsed Haley ahead of the contest, though he has said he would back Trump if he’s the eventual nominee, as has Haley.


Haley beat Trump in the small town of Dixville Notch when six voters cast their ballots for her at midnight Tuesday, part of a long-standing tradition of allowing the town to be the first to declare results in the statewide primary and general elections. Four registered Republicans and two independent voters participated.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league."

Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file
