In a crucial turn of events leading up to the New Hampshire primary, Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced her support for former President Donald Trump. With the primary election just around the corner, Greene’s endorsement has brought significant attention to the race, with implications for the future of the Republican Party.
Taking to social media, Greene expressed her excitement about heading to the Granite State to rally behind Trump’s bid for the top of the GOP ticket in 2024. She confidently predicted an “historic” victory for the former president, emphasizing her commitment to Trump’s cause. Quoting the New Hampshire state motto, she added, “Live Free or Die!!”
It is no secret that Greene’s name has been circulating as a potential running mate for Trump, especially as he contemplates a second term. While Trump has yet to make a decision on his 2024 ticket, Greene’s appearances at his rallies and her track record as a top surrogate have fueled speculation.
Greene’s decision to travel to New Hampshire comes at a critical juncture in the primary election. With Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspending his campaign, the GOP primary field has narrowed down to two major contenders: Trump and his former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley. Both candidates are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to secure victory on Tuesday.
If Trump emerges as the winner, he will likely solidify his position as the GOP nominee for the 2024 presidential race, setting the stage for a rematch with President Joe Biden. On the other hand, a win for Haley would create a significant challenge for Trump, potentially denting his armor and boosting the narrative surrounding the former South Carolina governor.
Recent polling data indicates that Trump currently enjoys 57% support, according to a daily tracking poll conducted by Suffolk University, the Boston Globe, and NBC10 in Boston. Haley, on the other hand, stands at 38%. Both candidates experienced a two-point increase in their support following DeSantis’ departure from the race. These numbers highlight the high stakes of the New Hampshire primary and the fierce competition between the two frontrunners.
In light of these developments, Digital reached out to both Greene and Trump’s campaigns for comment. As the primary election draws near, all eyes will be on New Hampshire, awaiting the outcome that could shape the future of the Republican Party.
