As Democrats make their final pitch to voters in New Hampshire Monday, President Donald Trump will take the stage at a campaign rally hours before polls open in the Granite State's first-in-the-nation primary.
Trump touts 'full and complete and absolute total acquittal' of impeachment
In his first campaign rally appearance since the Republican-led Senate voted to acquit him on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, Trump wasted little time in railing against Democrats for wasting the country's time with the "impeachment hoax."
Trump boasted of his "full and complete and absolute total acquittal" in the Senate. "And it wasn't even close," he said as the crowd cheered.
"Other than Romney, we got 52-0," he said of Senator Mitt Romney, R-Utah, the only Republican to vote against the president during the Senate trial. The crowd began to boo as Trump mentioned Romney's name.

New target for 'Lock Her Up' chants: Nancy Pelosi
As at numerous other rallies, President Donald Trump's backers in New Hampshire are chanting "lock her up!" – but this time they have a different target.
Rather than Hillary Clinton, Trump partisans are yelling "lock her up" at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The chant surfaced when warm-up speakers criticized Pelosi over the impeachment investigation.
Indeed, the crowd followed suit when Trump attacked Pelosi.

Donald Trump Junior ... For President?
Some people wonder if President Donald Trump's son will want to follow in his father's political footsteps someday.
Some Trump supporters apparently want him to.
As Donald Trump, Jr., warmed up the crowd at tonight's rally in Manchester, N.H., people began chanting: "46! 46! 46!"
Why 46?
Well, Donald Trump, senior, is the nation's 45th president.
His successor will be president number ... 46.

Trump looks to provoke Democrats at New Hampshire rally
In an early Monday tweet Trump said he wanted to "shake up the Dems a little bit" ahead of the primary, which he referred to as a "really boring deal," while also calling out the "big crowds" that are expected to greet him in Manchester. Trump's rally is expected to begin at 7 p.m. EST.
The president's supporters began lining up for the "Keep America Great" rally Sunday, according to the Union-Leader and video shared online, braving the cold and rainy weather to attend Trump's first political rally since he was acquitted of impeachment last week in the Republican-controlled Senate.
The president will be joined by Vice President Mike Pence and several other campaign surrogates who are aiming to steal the spotlight from several Democrats vying to take on Trump in November. The campaign counter-programmed Democrats last week with a campaign rally the day before Iowa's first-in-the-nation caucuses, where the party is still having difficulty declaring a winner follow the malfunction of a cell phone app used to report results.
Democrats spent the weekend barnstorming New Hampshire in their final push to court voters ahead of the primary, which begins at midnight Monday in the township of Dixville Notch. A new Quinnipac University poll Monday showed Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., taking the lead with 25% over former Vice President Joe Biden, who trailed at 17%. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was close behind at 15%, after seeing a surge in support.
The Republican primary is also Tuesday and Trump is expected to handily win over challengers Bill Weld, a former governor of Massachusetts, and Joe Walsh, a former U.S. House member from Illinois, who dropped his presidential bid last week.
