Omri Nahmias on-site at the New Hampshire primaries
The cold weather did not stop dozens of thousands of supporters from standing hours in line to show support for President Donald Trump on Monday evening. Although Trump is expected to win the Republican primaries easily, his rally was by far the largest one in the state ahead of New Hampshire’s primary.
Marie Derigan from Wolfeboro, New Hampshire told Mishpacha: “I’m here because rallies are fun and this is the third rally I’ve been to. He’s changed the economy. It’s very exciting, and it’s uplifting, and it’s a great experience overall. He’ll beat the Democratic candidate. He has put a lot of positivity into the country. He helped the military, and he made us better than we were before.”
Audrey O’Toole came from Alton, New Hampshire. “I’ve never been to a political event, and I thought it’d be cool to go. And I really love Trump,” she told Mishpacha. “I love that he took away the individual mandate on health care. My husband and I both work, and we can’t afford healthcare because it’s based on your income, so I don’t like Obamacare. I like that Trump is trying to protect religious freedom, freedom of expression. And that he’s a friend of Israel — putting the embassy where it belongs in Jerusalem.”
Joe Biden did not wait for the results, and in a surprise move decided to leave New Hampshire even before the vote was over, signaling his awareness that he is not going to be the winner here. He headed over to South Carolina, where he has a strong base of support.
