Deep dives
Nikki Haley falls short in New Hampshire primary
In the New Hampshire primary, Nikki Haley falls short of interrupting Donald Trump's sense of inevitability. Trump wins the state with 54% of the vote, while Haley receives 43%. This outcome puts an end to hopes of preventing Trump from securing the Republican nomination. It also highlights that the party is no longer dominated by old-fashioned conservatives. The absence of high-profile evangelists in this year's election suggests that Trump no longer needs to court the evangelical vote, as they are already his devoted followers.
