Haley’s Home-State Hustle: State Showdown

Donald Trump won again in the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary. However, his last remaining major rival, Nikki Haley, vowed to keep fighting. Despite Trump’s victory, Haley stressed that the race is far from over. She returned to her home state of South Carolina for a rally and launched a new $4 million ad campaign ahead of the state’s primary on Feb. 24.


Trump argued that Haley should suspend her campaign so he could focus on targeting President Biden in the general election. Haley, however, refused to back down and continued to campaign. New Hampshire was considered fertile ground for Haley, but Trump’s victory in the state was below what most final public opinion surveys had predicted.

In his victory speech, Trump criticized Haley and her performance in the primary. Haley responded by saying that she had a bad night but would continue to fight. A source in Haley’s political orbit argued that Trump’s performance was weak for an incumbent.


Haley’s campaign raised $1.5 million since DeSantis dropped out of the race and planned major fundraisers in the coming days. Some political analysts argued that Haley overperformed expectations and had earned the right to continue her campaign, while others believed that there was no good news for her coming out of New Hampshire.

In conclusion, Donald Trump won the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary, but his victory was not as decisive as some predicted. Nikki Haley refused to back down and vowed to continue her campaign, while some analysts believed that her best chance to make a lasting impact on the race had passed.
