Donald Trump Heckled While Campaigning in New Hampshire

Donald Trump was heckled during a campaign speech in New Hampshire on Sunday, as the state prepared to hold its primary.

The former president is holding a number of events as part of his campaign. He won the first GOP caucuses last Monday night, gaining 51 percent of the vote in Iowa. Florida Governor Rpn DeSantis, who has since dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump, got 21.2 percent of the votes and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley came third with 19.1 percent.

Bu the race is expected to be tighter in the second state to cast its votes, New Hampshire, with a number of recent polls showing Haley is gaining ground. While polling aggregator FiveThirtyEight predicts Trump will win 49.8 percent of the vote on Tuesday, Haley is hot on his heels with 36.1 percent. The polls haven't been updated to reflect the impact of DeSantis leaving the contest.

Trump was making a speech at an event in Rochester, New Hampshire, when a heckler started speaking. The unnamed person was drowned out by boos and chants of "USA" from other people in the crowd.

Newsweek contacted a Trump representative by email to comment on this story.

It isn't the first time the Republican has been thrown off course by a protest. On Saturday, the former president kicked out a person who interrupted him by calling him a "dictator" during a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire.

"Go ahead, you can throw him out," he told security.

Trump was also heckled last week In Indianola, Iowa, during a speech, when a woman criticized him for taking millions in payments from China, Saudi Arabia, and other foreign governments while he was president.

In response, Trump said: "Go home to Mommy! Your mommy's worried."

Haley has also been challenged by hecklers during her campaign. Trump's rival was interrupted by climate protesters during a rally in Nashua, New Hampshire, on Saturday.

Some of the protesters held signs reading "Haley: Climate criminal," while others stood up from their seats to shout at the GOP candidate. Six people were removed from the event, The Telegraph reported.

With 66.2 percent of the vote share, according to FiveThirtyEight, Trump is expected to win the GOP primary, nationally, while Haley is predicted to garner 12.3 percent of the vote.
