LACONIA, N.H.–As voters prepare for the nation’s first primary election of 2024, two former presidential hopefuls have joined former President Donald Trump in his call for Republicans to unite behind him to defeat Democrat President Joe Biden.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and North Dakota’s governor Doug Burgum underscored the importance of that mission in separate interviews with The Epoch Times on Monday, just hours before voters would start casting ballots here.
