The 2024 New Hampshire Republican presidential primary will be held in early 2024, as part of the Republican Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election. 22 delegates to the 2024 Republican National Convention will be allocated on a proportional basis.[2] The New Hampshire primary will be the second contest in the nation, held a week after the Iowa caucus.
Background
Donald Trump won the 2016 New Hampshire Republican primary with 35.2% of the vote, with closest opponent John Kasich coming in second with 15.7% of the vote.
Exit polling by Edison Research concluded that Trump's 2016 primary victory could be credited to support among white voters without a college degree, as well as support from moderate voters.[3]
Procedure
Delegates are proportionally allocated to candidates who received at least 10% of the total statewide vote.
Campaign
In January 2023, Trump tapped outgoing New Hampshire Republican Party chair Stephen Stepanek to oversee his campaign's operations in the state.[4]
New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, who considered a presidential candidacy, established a "Live Free or Die committee",[5] though he announced on June 5 that he would not be running for the Republican nomination.[6]
