“Word is we are doing really well!!!” Trump shared on Truth Social before the results.
Haley, the only remaining candidate outside of Trump, started strong in the New Hampshire polls, sweeping the former president in a six-person midnight vote in Dixville Notch.
The tiny town in northern New Hampshire opened and closed its polls just after midnight after six registered voters – four Republicans and two Independents – participated in the vote.
Haley also snagged Concord, Dover, Rye, Keene, Franconia, and Newmarket.
She also received a lot of support by many unaffilaited voters who chose to cast their vote in the Republican primary.
However, the short-lived victory came crashing down by Tuesday evening after Republican voters again showed up to back Trump as the clear-cut favorite in the race.
Trump was declared the winner by the Associated Press based on an analysis of initial vote returns and a survey of Republican primary voters.
Just before the polls closed, Trump shared another post on Truth Social: “Wow! We are doing really well despite all of the Biden Votes going for Haley!!!”
Trump brushed off a potential upset by Haley before the official tally was announced, telling his supporters at a polling site: “I think she’s worked very hard, but I couldn’t care less if she drops out. That’s fine.”
Ten communities requested additional GOP ballots, according to the New Hampshire secretary of state.
The communities include Hanover, Hopkinton, Holderness, Amherst, Brentwood, Concord, Hollis, Newmarket, Windham, and Manchester.
Trump’s campaign, which was already flying sky-high, earned an extra boost after GOP candidates Vivek Ramaswamy and Ron DeSantis suspended their campaigns and endorsed the former president.
“Let her do whatever she wants,” Trump told reporters in Londonderry on Tuesday afternoon about Haley’s declaration that she will stay in the race through Super Tuesday.
