Nikki Haley Faces Difficult Race in Republican Presidential Primary, Takes on Trump in New Hampshire One-on-One Contest

Nikki Haley is running for president in the Republican primary. She faces a difficult race even with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis out of the race, and her campaign has been struggling to keep up with former President Trump's momentum. In New Hampshire on Tuesday, she will get one-on-one contest with Trump that she long relished in the Republican presidential primary.

Haley is running out of time to keep pace with Trump. She needs a second place finish in New Hampshire to set up a battle for her home state of South Carolina. However, Haley's campaign has been seeing momentum following DeSantis' Sunday exit and raised more than $500,000 in the 24 hours after he dropped out.

Despite this progress, Haley is still facing a significant enthusiasm gap compared to Trump. At a get-out-the vote event Monday morning at a small VFW hall in Franklin, New Hampshire, she took aim at Trump's lies and falsehoods. However, the close-packed crowd of between 100-200 people was distracted by pop-up marketplace and large screens periodically drove by blaring anti-Trump video made by nonprofit Lincoln Project.

Despite this setback, Haley's campaign is determined to push forward toward South Carolina even with a second place finish in New Hampshire. They announced they will launch a $4 million ad buy in her home state after the primary.

    • Between the wall-to-wall coverage of everything he does and their overzealousness to call the 2024 race for the GOP over after the Iowa Caucus despite Trump s mediocre night (by an incumbents standards) amid low turnout for Iowans, it's clear Washington and New York has a vested interest in wanting to crown Trump the GOP❏candidate.

Lastly, the author uses emotional manipulation by stating that Haley's attack on Trump's mental capacity is a clear sign that he might be mentally slipping.

But not everyone was welcome at the Haley rally, as I found out from a group of 5 young adults in their early 20s who had been unceremoniously kicked out of the event before it even began. One of the group, Evvie, explained to me that they had arrived early, were in front and were hoping to ask Haley about the war in Gaza, which they oppose, when Haley staff approached and told them to leave.

The rally was well attended with cars forging snowbanked curbs to invent impromptu parking spaces, quite a few emblazoned with Trump or "Let’s Go Brandon’ bumper stickers.
