Details
The New Hampshire primary was the second contest in the nation, held directly after the Iowa caucuses. The primary was easily won by neighboring Massachusetts governor and eventual nominee Michael Dukakis, who won all ten counties in the Granite State, and received eight delegates. Dick Gephardt, a representative from Missouri, finished in 2nd place with four delegates. Illinois senator Paul Simon finished in a close 3rd place, also receiving four delegates. No other candidates received delegates.
Dukakis won the crowded New Hampshire primary with just under 36% of the vote, but finished well ahead of his nearest opponent, Dick Gephardt.February 17, 1988 BUSH OVERCOMES DOLE'S BID AND DUKAKIS IS EASY WINNER IN NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARIES https://www.nytimes.com/1988/02/17/us/bush-overcomes-dole-s-bid-and-dukakis-is-easy-winner-in-new-hampshire-primaries.html February 8, 2024 New York TimesNew Hampshire.
