Here’s a snapshot of where the battle to lead the Republican Party stands

Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume and former Trump senior counselor Kellyanne Conway provide voter analysis and examine factors driving ballot decision on ‘Special Report.’ 
Eight days after he crushed the competition in Iowa’s low-turnout Republican presidential caucuses, former President Donald Trump quickly defeated former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley — his final remaining major rival for the GOP nomination — in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary.
Fox News projected Trump would win the primary just a few minutes after the final polls closed in New Hampshire. The primary saw record turnout despite some reports that low energy among voters would depress the vote.
Here’s a snapshot of where the battle to lead the Republican Party stands.

ONE NEW VICTORY LAP: In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital’s Brooke Singman following his victory, Trump said he was “very honored” by the support he received from voters, and declared that the Republican Party was “very united” behind his candidacy.
When asked if he felt Haley would suspend her campaign, he said, “I don’t know. She should.”
“She should because, otherwise, we have to keep wasting money instead of spending on Biden,” Trump said. “If she doesn’t drop out, we have to waste money instead of spending it on Biden, which is our focus.”
ONE NEW FOX NEWS VOTER ANALYSIS: Trump won New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary by 10 points over Nikki Haley. He is the first Republican candidate to win competitive elections in the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary since 1976. Trump easily outpaced Haley among registered Republicans (+42 points).
Haley won political moderates by 24 points, while Trump won self-described “somewhat conservatives” by the same margin (+24 points). He ran up the score among very conservative voters (+68 points).
TWO NEW ENDORSEMENTS: Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, gave his endorsement of Trump for president after his victory on Tuesday, writing on social media, “I have seen enough. To beat Biden, Republicans need to unite around a single candidate, and it’s clear that President Trump is Republican voters’ choice.”
Cornyn was soon joined by Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., who also backed the former president’s bid to take on President Biden for the Oval Office, writing, “I officially endorse [Trump] for President. It’s time for the [GOP] to unite and make [Biden] a one-term President.”
ONE NEW FUNDRAISING REPORT: As Nikki Haley stopped by polling stations in New Hampshire on Primary Day, her campaign told Fox News that they hauled in $1.5 million in fundraising since Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dropped out of the race on Sunday.
Wall Street billionaires Stanley Druckenmiller, Henry Kravis, Ken Langone and Cliff Asness are planning to co-host a fundraiser for Nikki Haley to keep her campaign for the Republican presidential nomination well-financed after the New Hampshire primary, according to a report by Bloomberg News.
ONE KEY QUOTE: 
“Now you’ve all heard the chatter among the political class. They’re falling all over themselves saying this race is over. Well, I have news for all of them: New Hampshire is first in the nation. It is not last in the nation. This race is far from over,” former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said after her New Hampshire primary loss to former President Donald Trump.
