“Republicans are predicting that Tuesday’s vote in New Hampshire could break primary turnout records in the state, as former President Donald Trump seeks another strong showing against his rivals, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis,” the New York Times reports.
“The previous Republican primary record of about 285,000 votes was set in 2016, when Mr. Trump defeated a crowded GOP field and set the tone for his eventual clinching of the party’s nomination. It would also eclipse the total from the Democratic primary in 2020, when about 297,000 votes were cast.”
“The potential surge would represent a stark contrast from the meager turnout last week in Iowa’s Republican caucuses, which was the lowest in more than a decade as people contended with subzero temperatures.”
