 The nation's attention is on New Hampshire as voters take to the polls to kick off the nation's first presidential primary of 2024. Voters braved the cold to cast their ballot in Manchester polling stations, where they supported a wide range of candidates. I voted for Williamson because her actions of how she carried herself more than her words seemed to be to a level that may be a little more on the helpful end of trying to turn things around in this country. Dean Phillips, because there should be better choices, the fact that he campaigned a lot in New Hampshire like nonstop and just broadcasted his message instead of bashing other candidates. Despite the different selections, all shared a common goal of bringing unity and stability back into the White House in 2024. I voted for Nikki for someone that's younger, a change and less chaotic. Like I said, I'm just looking for someone that doesn't have a lot of drama surrounding them and is not bringing a lot of baggage back into the White House with them. The 2024 New Hampshire primary has seen a record number of Republican votes cast with over 300,000 compared to 2016. And more expected to come as polls will stay open until 7pm.
