Trump edges closer to Biden clash but Haley undaunted: New Hampshire takeaways

The independent vote did not defeat Trump yet could prove crucial, and Williamson and Phillips couldn't stop Biden

The New Hampshire primary, even with its history of unpredictability and freethinking independents, produced a familiar result on Tuesday: Donald Trump v Joe Biden.

After months of heavy campaigning in the state, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley came in second place in the Republican primary. Securing a double-digit win over Haley, Trump nabbed his second decisive victory after the Iowa caucuses a week before.
