Nikki Haley's Republican primary campaign in New Hampshire faced an uphill battle as she struggled to generate enthusiasm among voters, especially the unaffiliated voters she needed to win over. Fergus Cullen, a former state chair of the New Hampshire Republican Party, expressed his lack of enthusiasm for Haley's campaign and highlighted her refusal to take on Donald Trump as a key reason for his reticence.
Cullen, a self-proclaimed 'never Trump Republican,' believed that Haley failed to give unaffiliated voters a compelling reason to support her. He mentioned that she avoided making any statements that might offend Trump's supporters, which he felt was a missed opportunity to appeal to the broader electorate. Cullen further explained that in politics, one is judged by both their friends and their enemies, and Haley had not done what was necessary to gain traction among voters.
