Haley has finished second in New Hampshire to Trump, a setback in her effort to reset the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
The former United Nations ambassador and South Carolina governor, who invested significant time and financial resources in the state, ramped up her criticism of Trump after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dropped out of the race and she became the sole GOP alternative to him.
But the appeal ultimately failed to resonate with enough voters, and she’s in a weakened position heading into a primary in her home state.

Almost feel bad for Nikki getting a result that will extend this thing; a campaign-killing throttling in NH might be preferable to one in the backyard.
@WelfarePretzelsConstitution8mos8MO
I don’t get why she won’t drop out tonight. Getting the doors blown off in SC isn’t an outcome I’d think she wants.
@G3rrym4nderPupRepublican8mos8MO
The cynic in me says she wants to milk her donors and pad her leadership PAC so she can fly private planes the next few years when all is said and done.

But of course: Nikki Haley wins nearly twice as many votes in Hanover, NH (1,472) than Donald Trump won in the 2020 general election (841).

The path to the Republican nomination for President doesn’t run through people who have a college education. That’s just the way it is. It’s increasingly a party of working class voters who know what they know, facts and reality be damned.

Eyeroll.. The dumb Democrats wrote in Biden's name in New Hampshire even though he snubbed them, ignored them and told them that they weren't that important.
So they called the Democrat side for Biden
In the meantime, Brett on Fox is tripping over himself to tell the viewers that Haley did way better than expected even though Trump is ahead by 9 points.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution8mos8MO
Why is this a headline? Duh, she finished second, she's the only other freaking Republican in this race! And she was a *DISTANT* second – lost by ten points! <60% of her voters were NOT Republicans in this primary! This is the left-wing media trying to save Haley from the defeat she so utterly deserves, and so inevitably will get.
@ExcludedSenateSocialist8mos8MO
Nikki wants to stick around for as long as possible in the event that Trump gets thrown in prison, but she can’t say so directly
@BubblyCurRepublican8mos8MO
Nikki Haley making clear she will stay in through South Carolina, more than 4 weeks away.
@TariffMayaDemocrat8mos8MO
The New Hampshire story is simple: Haley won literal Democrats, undecideds, and college educated Republicans in cities. Trump won suburban, rural and less educated areas
Lucky for Trump the latter group most resemble traditional Republican coalition
