A majority of GOP primary voters said they felt more allegiance to Trump than to the Republican Party, compared to 39 percent who said the reverse in early exit poll results.
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Four years ago, Donald Trump's victory here shocked the GOP and set him on the path to winning his party's presidential nomination. On Tuesday, he was on the ballot again — this time, the undisputed standard-bearer of the GOP in a state where he'll face a far tougher contest this fall.
In more evidence that Trump, once the insurgency candidate, is now the face of the Republican Party, the majority of its primary voters here aligned their loyalties with Trump over the GOP, with 54 percent saying they feel more allegiance to Trump than to the party, compared to 39 percent who said the reverse in early exit poll results.
Trump was following the results from the White House, live-tweeting his reactions as the numbers rolled in. He commented on the single-digit numbers for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. — saying she was"having a really bad night" and"sending signals that she wants out" — and businessman Tom Steyer, whom he dubbed"Impeachment King Steyer."
The president's campaign did weigh in on Biden, sending an email to supporters and journalists saying Biden"Got Beat Like a Drum—Again" and another mocking the Democrats'"months-long dumpster fire of a primary process."While New Hampshire residents have prided themselves on independence, moderate Republicans were in short supply Tuesday, the NBC News Exit Poll found, with just 19 percent of GOP voters identifying themselves as moderate or liberal.
