US businessman Donald Trump is heading to New Hampshire as he again considers running for president.

The millionaire and reality TV star will attend a reception at the Amherst home of Republican politician Steve Stepanek.

The visit comes one day after Mr Trump announced plans to form a presidential exploratory committee, allowing him to raise money and hire staff as he weighs up a White House bid.

Mr Trump says he's already hired political aides in the key early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

Mr Trump has repeatedly 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.
