The former president seeking another term can't claim his party's nomination yet. Before Republicans make their 2024 pick, the field of GOP hopefuls needs to compete in states across the country.
And after the Iowa Caucuses, the political pressure is rising in other crucial early voting states, such as New Hampshire and Haley's home state of South Carolina.
New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary is pivotal in most presidential elections, but it's especially important for Haley in 2024.
Recent polls have shown Haley as the top GOP alternative to the ex-president in New Hampshire. A survey released last week by the Saint Anselm College Survey Center found 31% of likely Republican primary voters in New Hampshire would support Haley, compared to 45% who would back former Trump.
While Haley still trails the former president in the state, some argue she doesn't need to win the primary there to make progress against Trump. Rather, she needs to get close enough to alter the sticky narrative he's the runaway favorite.
“If Haley gets above 30%, which I think is very doable, the key is going to be how that is interpreted – if that is a win for Haley or a win for Trump,” Andrew Smith, director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, previously told USA TODAY. “If Trump doesn’t get over 50%, it shows he has serious competition in the party.”
Donald Trump has won it. Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, & Vivek ran their hardest, but they weren’t close. It’s time to rally behind Trump and beat Joe Biden. No one can beat Trump in the primary. It’s wasted money. Spend it to beat Biden.

One state doesn’t get to decide for the rest of us. And when was the last time the person who won Iowa went on to win the presidency?
Nobody has ever won Iowa by 30 pts. DeCope. You’re done.
@ActivistDougGreen4mos4MO
Nope. I’m voting for Robert Kennedy Jr. and pushing friends and family to vote for him too.

RFK will make the economy even more horrible, he's still a statist, big government leftist who supports more federal intervention in our economy when in reality their should be a wall of separation between Economy & State.
@ActivistDougGreen4mos4MO
For the notion of a "wall of separation" between Economy & State, it's worth noting that even Adam Smith, the father of modern capitalism, acknowledged the need for government in certain sectors of the economy. He wrote extensively on the role of government in providing public goods, enforcing contracts, and ensuring competition.
That being said, what do you think about RFK Jr.'s stance on environmental issues? He's been a staunch advocate for renewable energy, arguing that it can stimulate economic growth while also addressing the serious problem of climate change. Don't you think this could be a win-win situation?
@Patriot-#1776Constitution4mos4MO
God has granted every human, from the point of conception, with inalienable rights to life, liberty, and property. Government has one singular role, beyond which it may NEVER venture – securing these preexisting rights by creating laws against violations of them (ban murder, abortion, to protect life, ban slavery and forced labor to protect liberty, ban theft, arson, vandalisation, trespassing, and defacing private property to protect property rights). In order to guarantee our rights to property, yes government must enforce contracts and create a system of written land deeds and titles… Read more

Personally (though I’m not the guy you’re responding to), YES, it’s a safe strategy for the future, and a smart idea to invest in.
@9J7639W4mos4MO
My opinion is that Republicans are bad
@9J6KM2H4mos4MO
I strongly believe that it is definitely not over.

Trump is winning without even showing up because the Republican Party is broken.
