In a historic win, former President Donald Trump secured a record-breaking number of votes in the New Hampshire presidential primary, further solidifying his popularity among voters.

Previously, the record was held by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who garnered 152,000 votes during the 2016 Democratic nomination race, as reported in Medium, citing records from the New Hampshire Secretary of State’s office. It’s worth noting that despite Sanders’ achievement, he ultimately lost the nomination to Hillary Clinton, who, in turn, faced defeat in the 2016 presidential race against Trump.

As of Wednesday morning, The New York Times confirmed that Trump received an impressive 163,713 votes in New Hampshire on Tuesday, surpassing all previous contenders.

Before Trump’s remarkable victory, the top vote-getters in the New Hampshire primary included:

• 2000: John McCain with 115,490 votes
• 2008: Hillary Clinton with 112,404 votes
• 2016: Donald Trump with 100,406 votes
• 2012: Mitt Romney with 95,669 votes
