The presidential election in New Hampshire has come to a razor-thin tie as results show Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump each securing 50% of the state’s popular vote.
With the balance of power in Congress also at stake, New Hampshire’s split result reflects the intense polarization seen across the U.S. in this election cycle.
In a decisive victory in the New Hampshire gubernatorial race, Republican Kelly Ayotte won the governorship, capturing an overwhelming 83.3% of the vote.
This result grants Ayotte five of New Hampshire’s six Electoral College votes, leaving only one electoral vote for her opponent. Ayotte’s sweeping win in the gubernatorial race underscores Republican strength at the state level, even as the presidential race remains hotly contested.
Voter turnout in New Hampshire was robust, as residents expressed heightened interest in both state and national races. Ayotte’s victory marks a significant Republican hold in the state, where her campaign emphasized economic reforms, job creation, and conservative governance, which resonated strongly with voters.
With the presidential race in New Hampshire now tied, all eyes will be on other battleground states where results are still being tallied to see if either Trump or Harris can pull ahead nationally.
The outcome of this election will shape not only the White House but also the composition and policy direction of both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.
