Background
Donald Trump won the 2016 New Hampshire Republican primary with 35.2% of the vote, with closest opponent John Kasich coming in second with 15.7% of the vote.
Exit polling by Edison Research concluded that Trump's 2016 primary victory could be credited to support among white voters without a college degree, as well as support from moderate voters.[2]
Candidates
Declared candidates
Former President Donald Trump, former Governor of South Carolina and Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, former Governor of Arkansas Asa Hutchinson, Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, and radio host Larry Elder are the only main contenders to officially announce their candidacy so far.[3][4][5][6][7]
Potential candidates
Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis is widely expected to announce his candidacy as soon as May 2023.[8] Commentators have described DeSantis as Trump's closest rival in the Republican primary based on primary polling taken in 2022 and 2023.[9][10] Former Vice President Mike Pence is also considering a candidacy for the Republican nomination.[11]
Other Republicans reportedly considering a candidacy include Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina;[12] Governor Chris Sununu of New Hampshire;[13] former Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey;[14] former National Security Advisor John Bolton of Maryland;[15] former Representative Mike Rogers of Michigan;[16] former Representative Will Hurd of Texas;[17] and Miami Mayor Francis X. Suarez of Florida.[18]
Campaign
In January 2023, Trump tapped outgoing New Hampshire Republican Party chair Stephen Stepanek to oversee his campaign's operations in the state.[19]
Governor Sununu, who is considering a presidential candidacy, established a "Live Free or Die committee" in a run-up to a potential candidacy.[20]
