New Hampshire's largest city is Manchester and its capital is [[Concord]]. Its highest point is [[Mount Washington]], the highest point in [[New England]] at 6288' (1917m) and one of the windiest places on Earth. A poor performance by a presidential candidate in New Hampshire renders it nearly impossible for him to win the nomination. [[Donald Trump]] won this primary by a landslide on January 23, 2024, despite a large number of [[liberal]]s crossing over to vote for his opponent as New Hampshire allows independents to do.

New Hampshire had a fairly [[conservative]] foundation that includes its "Live Free or Die" motto. The state has no personal [[income tax]] and no general [[sales tax]]. It is the first state to hold primary elections for US Presidential candidates. Recently, it was counted on as a solid center-left state with Democrat majorities in government and the population has more registered Democrats than Republicans. Its electoral votes went to [[Barack Obama]] in the 2008 Presidential election and on June 3, 2009, the New Hampshire legislature passed a bill which made it the sixth state to allow [[gay marriage]]. However, during the [[2010 Midterm Elections]], [[Republican]]s won the U.S. Senate seat and both House seats, and gained clear majorities in both chambers of the State Legislature from the Democrats.
