How to Watch Tonight’s Republican Debate Online

Republican Businessman Donald Trump and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, a Democrat, took victories at the New Hampshire primary, capturing 35.3 percent and 60.4 percent, respectively, of the electoral votes.

With a large field still in the race, Trump said his rivals are “all really potential threats; but, I’m OK at handling threats”. Although Cruz had been polling in the top tier in New Hampshire before the caucuses, he was never seen as a good fit for the relatively moderate GOP voters there. Clinton still had the best odds of becoming president at 50/50, Ladbrokes said.

Trump has come under fierce attack in SC from rival Republicans and outside groups raising questions about his conservative values. He had lost last week to US Senator Ted Cruz of Texas in the first nominating contest, the Iowa caucuses. “Maybe greater than ever before”.

With Trump proving in New Hampshire that he can win over a broad coalition of Republicans and independent voters, and Cruz riding high among evangelicals and other social conservatives, the Trump-Cruz battle will be paramount, with mainstream candidates likely scrapping for bronze in SC. He pointed to his largely positive approach, saying, “Light overcame the darkness”.

On Tuesday night, Christie told supporters that he would be canceling Wednesday’s full day of scheduled events in the next primary state of SC to head back to New Jersey with his family to go over the numbers and “take a deep breath”.

Republican Chris Christie is to suspend his White House campaign, USA networks report. “Sanders says something, he means it”, Weaver said.

“People have every right to be angry”, Clinton said. “But they’re also hungry, they’re hungry for solutions”.

The upcoming votes will be crucial for Clinton, the former secretary of state who admitted in an uneasy concession speech that she had “some work to do, particularly with young people”, to revitalize her campaign.

Mr Trump, a billionaire real estate mogul and former reality TV star, has dominated the Republican race and easily won the party primary in New Hampshire on Tuesday on a wave of voter anger at traditional USA politicians. “I’m still educating myself on all these candidates”. Marco Rubio appeared on his way to leading it before a damaging – if overblown – debate misstep dropped him to a fifth-place thud in New Hampshire. A candidate needs 1,237 delegates to win the nomination.
