CONWAY — Eight years ago, New Hampshire’s presidential primary helped propel Donald Trump to become the Republican Party’s nominee for president. Now, Trump is hoping history repeats itself. Although his margin of victory wasn’t as wide as in 2016, Trump won his second New Hampshire Primary on Tuesday.
It was also a good night for someone who wasn’t even on the ballot. President Joe Biden won the Democrat Primary in a rare write-in campaign.
