The latest news, analysis, and explainers coming out of the New Hampshire GOP primary.

Voters in New Hampshire head to the polls on Tuesday, January 23, to vote in the Republican and Democratic presidential primary, the first of the 2024 presidential election cycle.

The Republican primary is a two-person battle between former President Donald Trump and his former US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dropped out of the race. Trump notched a resounding victory in the Iowa caucuses, but polls suggest his lead in the Granite State has been significantly smaller. If Trump wins New Hampshire overwhelmingly, it’ll be a strong signal that Haley, the last challenger standing, has failed as well and that he’ll win the GOP nomination easily.

On the Democratic side, President Joe Biden won’t appear on the ballot, though some supporters have mounted a write-in campaign. The Democratic National Committee has stripped the state of its delegates, turning the primary into something of a beauty contest whose significance will be measured in, for lack of a better term, vibes. That hasn’t stopped Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota from mounting a quixotic challenge.

Most polls close at 7 p.m. Eastern. Follow here for the latest news, explainers, and analysis, and if you’ve got questions, submit them here. We’ll do our best to answer them in an upcoming story.

Mainers stunned as ‘horrific’ ICE killing ripples through community: ‘It’s just surreal’



Maine residents told CNN they were outraged on Tuesday after ICE agents fatally shot a 26-year-old father in a car.

Joan Sebastian Durán Guerrero, who was authorized to work in the United States, was shot and killed during a traffic stop in Biddeford, Maine, on Monday. Community members were upset by the fatal shooting and showed support for Guerrero and his family, said CNN correspondent Jason Carroll.

"You always knew it was a possibility here because there's been a heavy presence since January, and especially in this area in Biddeford. And when you hear about this, it's just surreal," one resident told CNN.

"This could be happening to any one of us, any one of us. He's a 26-year-old with a child. He has a legitimate reason for being here. He had social security. It's horrific," another local told CNN.

The Department of Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General will be leading the investigation into the fatal shooting, along with the FBI and Maine Attorney General's Office, Carroll reported.

"Those whom we have told about who will be heading up the investigation still have a great deal of distrust against the federal government, given all that has happened," he added. "They have a lot of questions that they're hoping will be answered in this investigation, namely, why was there the use of deadly force? That's for a second. Why were the officers not using body-worn cameras? And why was this man targeted?"
