New Hampshire voters are heading to the polls today for the state's pivotal primaries.
Here's a quick rundown of what to watch as voters select Republican nominee to take on President Joe Biden in November.
If Trump wins, is the GOP race over? Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said Sunday she would “absolutely” remain in the Republican presidential race through South Carolina’s February 24 primary. Her campaign on Sunday announced plans for its first event in South Carolina after New Hampshire’s primary.
Where will DeSantis’ support go? Former President Donald Trump held 50% support among likely Republican primary voters in the Granite State, with Haley at 39% and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at 6%, according to a new CNN poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire that was released Sunday before DeSantis’ exit. When DeSantis’ supporters are reallocated to their second-choice candidates, Trump leads Haley by a wider 54% to 41% margin.
Did "equally bad" work? Haley, who was Trump’s US ambassador to the United Nations, has in recent days escalated her attacks on her onetime boss — deploying against Trump the same tactic he has used against Biden. Tuesday’s result will test whether Haley’s approach — a line of attack no other Republican took against Trump in this election cycle — was effective.
Will Haley heed advice from Trump aides? Top Trump campaign aides Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles sent reporters a memo Sunday saying that Haley must win New Hampshire’s primary. They said if Haley does not win Tuesday, she has two options: to drop out and unite behind Trump, or prepare to be "absolutely DEMOLISHED and EMBARRASED in her home state of South Carolina."
