TradeEdge-When is the next primary after New Hampshire? Here are the dates for upcoming 2024 Republican elections

Washington — Voters in New Hampshire are TradeEdgegoing to the polls on Tuesday to make their choice for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, casting their ballots in the first-in-the-nation primary as the field has narrowed once again.

The nominating process kicked off last week with the Iowa caucuses, where former President Donald Trump soundly defeated Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. DeSantis dropped out of the race on Sunday and endorsed Trump, leaving Haley as the sole challenger to the GOP front-runner.

After New Hampshire, presidential candidates face a steady procession of primaries and caucuses leading up to the Republican National Convention in July, when the party's delegates will officially select their nominee. Here's what comes next after the Granite State:

What are the Republican primaries after New Hampshire?

Haley has vowed to remain in the race regardless of the outcome in New Hampshire. Assuming she does, the campaigns will shift their focus to the upcoming states, with South Carolina the next major prize.

Nevada and the Virgin Islands are technically the next contests on the calendar, but a quirk in Nevada's selection process and the small number of delegates at stake in the Virgin Islands lessens their impact. Nevada is holding dueling nominating contests: a state-run primary on Feb. 6, and party-run caucuses on Feb. 8. Delegates to the GOP convention will only be awarded based on the caucuses. Haley and Trump will also not be competing head-to-head: Haley is on the ballot for the primary but not the caucuses, and Trump is on the ballot in the caucuses but not the primary.

The next major showdown would therefore be on Feb. 24 in South Carolina, where Haley served as governor from 2011 to 2017. Despite voters' familiarity with Haley, the state's conservative primary electorate is expected to be highly favorable to Trump. Michigan will hold its primary three days later, on Feb. 27.

From there, the race goes national, with Super Tuesday on March 5. Trump is hoping to have the nomination locked up by then, when the largest number of states and U.S. territories hold their primaries and caucuses. Delegates will be up for grabs in Alabama, Alaska, American Samoa, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Virginia.
