Trump Wins in New Hampshire Primary – What’s Next for Nikki Haley?

Though Donald Trump won the New Hampshire Republican primary, Nikki Haley says she won’t bow out before the South Carolina primary. On the other side of the aisle, despite not even being on the ballot, President Biden easily won his Democrat primary.

Fox News reports on the Granite State’s Republican primary results.

Former President Donald Trump did it again.

Eight days after he crushed the competition in Iowa’s low-turnout Republican presidential caucuses, Trump quickly defeated Nikki Haley - his final remaining major rival for the GOP nomination - in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary.

Fox News projected Trump would win the primary just a few minutes after the final polls closed in New Hampshire. . . .

 Haley emphasized her campaign would continue.

“Now you’ve all heard the chatter among the political class. They’re falling all over themselves saying this race is over. Well, I have news for all of them: New Hampshire is first in the nation. It is not last in the nation. This race is far from over.”

President Trump won by about 11% – a decisive win – in a record turnout. The race was called almost immediately after the polls closed.

Interestingly, many voters who weren’t registered as Republicans voted, which means that Haley’s strategy somewhat worked in getting more independent voters. It also likely means several Democrats voted for Haley and against Trump. But it just wasn’t enough in the end to put Haley over the top.

So what’s next for Haley? Right now the polls show that she is down by 30 points. Historically, the winner of Iowa and New Hampshire has always become a party’s nominee. So can she drum up enough support from voters and donors to fund her campaign until South Carolina and pull off a miraculous upset?

Governor Ron DeSantis evaluated the situation and realized he had neither funding nor a viable pathway to victory. Realistically, I just don’t see a pathway for Haley, but as far as funding, her campaign still has tens of millions of dollars. That being said, she can’t afford to spend all her money in South Carolina if she hopess to survive long enough to compete on Super Tuesday (March 5, 2024).

Her best chance is likely pinning her hopes on President Trump getting removed from the primary ballot as a result of the constant lawfare by the radical Left. But can she risk being embarrassed in her home state of South Carolina?

ACLJ Senior Counsel CeCe Heil joined the broadcast to give an update on the extremely impressive meetings that the European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ) had in the U.K. with the British Prime Minister, the Foreign Minister, the Security Secretary, and both houses of Parliament yesterday regarding our efforts to save the Israeli hostages. The meeting had wide media coverage and shined a light on our lifesaving work.

Our ECLJ delegation is on its way to Spain to garner the support of more world leaders. I can’t stress enough the importance of keeping the Israeli hostage situation at the forefront of the news – it keeps the hostages alive. We know this firsthand from our cases of saving individual hostages as well as saving a mass number of hostages. Join our efforts to save the hostages by signing our critical petition.

The mainstream media continually demonizes Israel as the aggressor in the Middle East. We are excited about launching our new video that explains why Israel is the true ancestral homeland of the Jewish people. Watch here to arm yourself with the facts of “The Myth of Palestine.”

Today’s Sekulow broadcast provided a full analysis of the New Hampshire primary results between President Trump and Nikki Haley. Chris Mitchell from CBN News joined us from Israel to give an update on Israel’s mission to eliminate Hamas and rescue the hostages.
