Sudan Events \u2013 Sumaya Sayed\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Republican candidates trying to stop Donald Trump from being the party’s White House nominee shift to New Hampshire, a week ahead of its nominating contest, after the ex-president scored a record win in Iowa.<\/p>\n Trump took over half the votes in the Iowa contest on Monday, propelling him toward what looks set to be a close and acrimonious election campaign against President Joe Biden, a Democrat.<\/p>\n The two rivals have dramatically different policies on a range of key issues, from relations with NATO allies abroad to economic and tax policies, abortion rights and immigration at home.<\/p>\n Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, 45, finished well behind Trump in second place in Iowa, edging out former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, 51, into third.<\/p>\n Haley, who has previously spoken of how voters in New Hampshire can “correct” the Iowa result, is polling second to Trump in the state, with DeSantis far behind.<\/p>\n The northeastern state is well-known for its relatively moderate, libertarian-minded brand of Republicanism.<\/p>\n Moreover, the primary contest in New Hampshire is “semi-open,” meaning voters that are not registered with any party can participate, which can reward candidates perceived to be centrists.<\/p>\n Trying to take advantage, Haley has campaigned heavily in New Hampshire while DeSantis bet heavily on Iowa.<\/p>\n Haley was to hold a rally in northern New Hampshire on Tuesday with the state governor, Chris Sununu, who has endorsed her. DeSantis is set to hold a town hall event and Trump will deliver remarks at a country club in the southeast.<\/p>\n Trump, 77, is the only current or ex-US president to be charged with criminal activity, but he won by an unprecedented margin for an Iowa Republican contest, strengthening his case that his nomination is a foregone conclusion given his massive lead in national polls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sudan Events \u2013 Sumaya Sayed\u00a0 Republican candidates trying to stop Donald Trump from being the party’s White House nominee shift to New Hampshire, a week ahead of its nominating contest, after the ex-president scored a record win in Iowa.
