Trump's victory map
We have 45 percent of the expected vote reporting in New Hampshire, so our map of the state's towns and cities has started to fill in. And as you'd expect given his 10-or-so point advantage, Trump is winning more places than Haley. And Trump's dominance in many smaller towns throughout the central and southern part of the state speaks to his broader edge.
But it's also the margin of victory for both candidates that tell the tale. For instance, Trump is up by about 15 points in Manchester, the state's largest city, with 80 percent of the expected vote reporting there. Haley needed that to be closer. Trump also leads by 5 points in Nashua, the second-largest city, with 90 percent reporting. Haley does lead by 30 points in Portsmouth, the predominant city in the more affluent and highly educated Seacoast region, with two-thirds of the expected vote in. But her leads in some nearby places are either not large enough, or Trump has an edge, when Haley needed to shade much of that part of the state with her hues. The long and short is that Haley came somewhat close, but not close enough.
