According to exit polls for the 2024 New Hampshire Republican primary, over half of voters did not believe Joe Biden to have legitimately won the presidency in 2020. Of those, 85 percent voted for trump. However, Trump only received 22 percent of votes from those who believed the 2020 election results to be legitimate, with their candidate of choice being South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, who received 85 percent of their votes. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis remained on the ballot despite dropping out of the race just days prior to the New Hampshire primaries.
