DIM OUTLOOK FOR HALEY
Trump won a crushing victory in the first Republican contest in Iowa last week, with Haley a distant third.
What was once a crowded field of 14 candidates then narrowed to a one-on-one matchup on Sunday after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis dropped out, following his second-place Iowa finish.
No Republican has ever won both opening contests and not ultimately secured the party's nomination.
Trump did little actual campaigning in New Hampshire. However, his message - a mixture of personal grievance and right-wing culture war firing his base - has delivered the kind of momentum that supporters believe will sweep him back into the White House.
"I think it's gonna be a wipeout for Biden. He's gone," said Luis Ferre, 72, who travelled from New York to be at Trump's election night party at a Nashua hotel.
Haley spent the week hammering the message, backed by polling, that most Americans do not want to see a Trump-Biden rematch. That, however, may not be enough to prevent the inevitable.
"Nikki Haley's supporters will surely feel that Tuesday night in New Hampshire was a reasonably good night. But once the relative shine of the Granite State result wears off... all but the most ardent Haley supporters will be looking through a glass darkly," said Aron Solomon, a political analyst for legal marketing agency Amplify.
GOOD NIGHT FOR BIDEN
Biden, meanwhile, won an unofficial Democratic primary in New Hampshire, giving him a symbolic boost.
The president marked the day by campaigning alongside Vice President Kamala Harris in Virginia at a rally for abortion rights.
With Trump touting his role in the ending of the constitutional right to abortion, Biden told an enthusiastic crowd that the Republican was "hell-bent" on further restrictions.
