Donald Trump in early voting state of New Hampshire as he eyes presidential bid _ again

Real estate mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump is heading to New Hampshire as he again considers a presidential run.

Trump will attend a reception Thursday at the Amherst home of Republican state Rep. Steve Stepanek.

The visit comes one day after Trump announced plans to form a presidential exploratory committee, allowing him to raise money and hire staff as he weighs a White House bid. Trump says he's already hired political aides in the key early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

Trump has frequently flirted with a presidential run, but appears more serious this time. He recently said he would not renew his contract for his reality show, "The Apprentice."
