GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, fresh off a resounding win in New Hampshire Tuesday, said Wednesday he wouldn’t necessarily name a particular candidate when asked who in the Republican field is the biggest threat to him now.

“I think they all are,” Mr. Trump said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “They’re all smart, intelligent, very accomplished people. I wouldn’t necessarily pick one. John [Kasich] is a little bit closer than the others, but that could be an outlier also — you never know what’s going to happen.”

“I think they’re all really potential threats, but I’m OK at handling threats,” he said.

Mr. Trump was at about 35 percent with nearly all precincts counted early Wednesday, with Ohio Gov. John Kasich the closest to Mr. Trump at 16 percent, and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida sitting in third, fourth, and fifth, respectively.
