The final numbers aren't in yet, but it's clear Trump won more than 100,000 votes among Republican and independent voters.
That's more than double the roughly 49,000 that President Barack Obama won among Democratic voters in New Hampshire's 2012 primary when he ran uncontested for reelection, and it's at least 35,000 votes more than Bernie Sanders, who is currently leading the Democratic field.
This won't be easy: Two-thirds of voters expect Trump to be reelected, according to a new poll from Monmouth University, and 42% of those voters admitted Trump deserves a second term.
Voter turnout in the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries fell far short of what Democrats had anticipated.
"Wouldn't a big story be that I got more New Hampshire Primary Votes than any incumbent president, in either party, in the history of that Great State? Not an insignificant fact!" In another tweet, Trump needled one of his main nemeses, Tom Steyer, who bought tens of millions of dollars in ads urging the Senate to impeach the president.
It should be noted that the entire Democratic field in New Hampshire is getting about twice the vote of the president.
Donald Trump only lost New Hampshire by 3,000 votes in 2016 and is no doubt eyeing the state and its four electoral votes to flip it in November.
