When Donald Trump won the Iowa caucus last week, he further established his claim to be the Republican party’s presumptive nominee in this year’s US election. What had been a three-horse race is down to just two candidates after the Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, dropped out, leaving only Nikki Haley to battle Trump.
As the Guardian’s Washington bureau chief, David Smith, tells Michael Safi, New Hampshire could represent the last chance to halt Trump’s procession to the Republican nomination and a rerun of his 2020 showdown with Joe Biden for the White House in November.
For Trump, a win in New Hampshire would help him seal up the votes he needs for the nomination before his numerous court appearances can seriously dent his candidacy.
