Haley vows to stay in the race
After the Iowa caucuses, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis dropped out of the race and endorsed Donald Trump, making the New Hampshire primary the first head-to-head matchup between Trump and Haley.
It didn't go well for Haley, who was hyping her numbers and her ability to win a “Live Free or Die” state.
“Donald Trump's margin of victory over former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley stood at 11.3% early Wednesday with more than 90 percent of the votes counted in the New Hampshire Republican primary,” USA Today reported. “The former president received 163,700.” He voted in the Granite State, compared to 129,646 votes for Haley. Trump received 11 delegates in New Hampshire, while Haley received eight delegates.
However, Hailey said she was “not going anywhere.”
“Except beautiful South Carolina,” she added.
She also said, “We're not going to crown Trump when 48 states didn't vote.”
USA Today continued:
With the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary completed, Trump has 31 delegates and Haley has 16. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who suspended his ill-fated campaign on January 21, has nine delegates, while Vivek Ramaswamy, who withdrew in January. 15th After his fourth-place finish in Iowa, he has three, according to the Associated Press.
The Republican nomination contest will now move to Haley's home state of South Carolina on February 24. The former US ambassador to the United Nations is the latest major challenger to Trump's powerful campaign.
It doesn't look like Haley will find much more ground than that in her home state, where FiveThirtyEight leads Trump over Haley by about 40 points, 62% to 25%.

Trump dominates the Republican Party
“Tonight’s results confirm that Donald Trump has all but sealed the Republican nomination, and that the anti-liberty MAGA movement has completed its takeover of the Republican Party,” Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said of the New Hampshire primary.
“As we work toward November 2024, one thing is becoming increasingly clear today: Donald Trump is heading straight into the general election matchup where he will face the only person to ever beat him at the ballot box: Joe Biden,” Rodriguez said. “.
Most opinion polls showed Donald Trump beating Joe Biden in a direct confrontation.
But there is still a long way to go until November.
Apparently, this is something Nikki Haley is currently betting on as well.
