CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump has formally signed up for the New Hampshire presidential primary. His visit to the secretary of state’s office marked the first time someone who has served as president filed such paperwork in person more than once. For the 2016 contest, Trump signed up on the first day. Four years later, he followed a tradition of sending a surrogate – in his case Vice President Mike Pence. But he was back in person on Monday. “vote for Trump and solve your problems,” he wrote on the commemorative poster all candidates are asked to sign.
