Donald Trump resoundingly won the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary Tuesday night, giving the billionaire mogul his first victory in an improbable and brash campaign that already has turned American politics upside down.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich, on the strength of his optimistic focus on economic renewal and lifting people out of the shadows, finished a distant second, while former Florida governor Jeb Bush and Sens. Ted Cruz (Tex.) and Marco Rubio (Fla.) headed toward a photo finish for third place.
Trump galvanized voters here with a visceral fixation on immigration and economic populism, affirming that even after last week’s setback in the Iowa caucuses, his candidacy has genuine appeal with the GOP base as well as with the independent voters who were part of his winning coalition.
On the Democratic side, Sen. Bernie Sanders notched a decisive win over Hillary Clinton in a state she had won in 2008. The Vermont senator’s win sets the stage for long nominating battle against the former secretary of state who is struggling to right her once-formidable campaign.
Written off as a fringe candidate when he launched his bid last spring, Sanders has found a receptive audience for his populist, anti-establishment message. His insurgent message casting Clinton a member of the old guard appears to be resonating with many voters. Sanders’s appeal Tuesday was greatest among younger voters, according to exit polls reported by CNN and other networks. But he also won decisively among male voters and held his own among female votes against Clinton.
