With one less rival, the former president Donald Trump comes stronger into the second phase of the Republican Party's election meetings, which will take place this Tuesday (23rd) in the state of New Hampshire and could be decisive.
The caucuses are held throughout the semester in American states and territories and are used to select the party's candidate for President of the United States in the November election.
A Washington Postcommissioned poll released Monday (22) estimates that 52% of voters will vote for Trump; Haley has 34%.
Haley's case could be the fact that the… Republican voters in New Hampshire have a more moderate profile than those in Iowa who are more conservative and religious. Additionally, New Hampshire's primary election will be held in a semiopen format just show up: Voters who are not registered with a party can go to the polls and vote.
This tends to benefit more moderate candidates like Nikki Haley.
Understand how the United States electoral system works
In the USA, voting is done indirectly: Voters select representatives of the candidates they wish to elect in ballots conducted by each state. Whoever has the most representatives, also known as delegates, wins the argument.
In New Hampshire, the selection of 22 delegates is at stake, a virtually insignificant number compared to the total 1,215 delegates that a Republican primary candidate must win in order to be selected by the party for the presidential nomination.
But the fact that the state's primaries are taking place at the start of the race also weighs heavily and increases the symbolic factor.
For this reason, Analysts told the American press that if Trump won there, he would ultimately be confirmed as the Republican candidateas it will be virtually impossible for your competitor to win.
