The Republican presidential candidates invested heavily in New Hampshire, a crucial state in the early primary process. Here\u2019s a breakdown of their spending:<\/p>\n

Republicans:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Nikki Haley:<\/strong>\n
      \n
    • The Haley campaign and affiliated super PACs spent nearly $30 million on New Hampshire advertisements, making over 100 campaign stops in the state.<\/li>\n
    • The goal was to elevate Haley\u2019s presence and secure 40% or more of the votes, aiming to narrow the competition for her as they move toward South Carolina.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Donald Trump:<\/strong>\n
        \n
      • Trump spent almost $13 million in New Hampshire, making 16 stops in the state. While he spent less than Haley, Trump\u2019s significant following and established presence contributed to his strategy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • Ron DeSantis:<\/strong>\n
          \n
        • DeSantis, who withdrew from the race two days before the primary, committed fewer resources. He spent about $8 million in New Hampshire, with no additional spending beyond Iowa.<\/li>\n
        • The DeSantis campaign and three super PACs did not invest in New Hampshire ads, indicating a lack of confidence in the state\u2019s potential for victory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Democrats:<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Joe Biden:<\/strong>\n
              \n
            • President Biden did not participate in the New Hampshire Democratic primary, breaking tradition. His name was not on the ballot, but his supporters launched a write-in effort for a symbolic victory.<\/li>\n
            • Allies, including Granite for America, a super PAC led by Kathy Sullivan, spent over $1.2 million on ads and mail supporting Biden in the state.<\/li>\n
            • Democratic leaders like Rep. Ro Khanna and Sen. Maggie Hassan actively engaged with voters, urging them to write Biden\u2019s name on the ballot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
            • Dean Phillips:<\/strong>\n
                \n
              • Democratic challenger Rep. Dean Phillips, critical of Biden\u2019s age, spent $5 million of his own money in New Hampshire, emphasizing concerns about Biden\u2019s electability against Trump.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Despite President Biden\u2019s decision not to participate in the traditional primary, his supporters sought to make a statement through the write-in effort, emphasizing his symbolic victory in the state. Overall, the spending patterns reflect strategic decisions by candidates based on their confidence in New Hampshire and the broader primary landscape.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
