Nikki Haley aims for stronger showing in New Hampshire primary

Former governor and ambassador Nikki Haley joins the conversation.

Former governor and ambassador Nikki Haley, along with governor Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, discussed their campaign strategies and expectations during a recent interview. With Governor Sununu's enthusiastic endorsement, he had predicted a landslide victory for Ambassador Haley in New Hampshire. However, as the competition narrows down to just Ambassador Haley and Donald Trump, the question arises as to what constitutes a successful outcome in tonight's primary.

Governor Haley, clarifying Governor Sununu's comments, emphasized that she didn't make any claims of a guaranteed victory but acknowledged that they aimed to be stronger in New Hampshire than they were in Iowa. Their goal is to build momentum as the election progresses. Iowa had been a significant night for both candidates, with Donald Trump emerging as the victor and Ambassador Haley securing an impressive 20% of the vote, up from a mere 2% at the start of the campaign.

The two governors discussed the significance of increasing support as the primary contest moves forward. Governor Sununu highlighted the importance of progress and growth, indicating that if Ambassador Haley's performance in New Hampshire surpasses that of Iowa, it would be considered a success. Iowa set a low bar for Ambassador Haley, as she only won one out of 99 counties, narrowly edging ahead by a single vote.

Governor Haley, on the other hand, applauded her campaign's achievements in Iowa, stating that starting at 2% and reaching 20% was a significant accomplishment. The momentum gained from Iowa propelled her into the one-on-one race with Donald Trump in New Hampshire, showcasing her increasing popularity and resilience. Ultimately, she implied that the success of tonight's primary would be determined by the public's perception, as the media would likely assess the outcome based on her performance compared to Iowa.

As the night unfolds, all eyes will be on Ambassador Haley's performance in the New Hampshire primaries. The importance of securing a greater vote share than in Iowa cannot be overstated, as it provides a clear indication of the campaign's momentum and potential future success. Supporters and observers alike eagerly await the results, hoping to gauge the impact of Ambassador Haley's strategy and message on voters in the Granite State.

The outcome of the New Hampshire primaries will set the stage for the forthcoming contests and shape the trajectory of Ambassador Haley's campaign moving forward. As she and Governor Sununu eagerly await the final results, the public remains equally engaged, awaiting the verdict that will determine the course of the Republican primary race.
