On the eve of the election in New Hampshire, presidential candidate Nikki Haley sat down for an interview to discuss the latest developments in the race. When asked about her reaction to Ron DeSantis dropping out of the race, Haley emphasized that entering or leaving a race is a personal decision. She expressed her respect for DeSantis as a governor and wished him well.
The discussion then turned to the potential impact of DeSantis' departure on voters. Based on polling data, it appears that the majority of DeSantis' supporters will now lean towards President Trump. However, Haley pointed out that DeSantis' voters were looking for a new generational leader who would address issues like wasteful spending and the state of the economy. She emphasized the need for someone who can fix the country, not just break things.
Haley stressed that the American people are concerned about the current state of affairs. She highlighted issues such as uncontrolled immigration and the soaring national debt, which are affecting everyday citizens and worrying parents about their children's future. Haley criticized the focus on past grievances and investigations by both Trump and Biden, stating that the country needs a new generational conservative leader who will prioritize getting America back on track.
Addressing the notion of a two-person race, Haley confirmed that her campaign started with only 2% in the polls but has since gained momentum. She expressed confidence in her campaign's strength, mentioning her strategic use of funds and the commitment to staying in the race until the end. Haley reiterated that this is not a coronation and democracy requires giving people options.
Responding to recent comments made by President Trump regarding Democratic voters in New Hampshire, Haley clarified that Trump's claims about crossover Democratic voters in the primary were not accurate. She defended her record on issues like border security, highlighting her past actions as a governor and dismissing Trump's false statements.
In closing, Haley emphasized her willingness to call out Trump on any falsehoods or misleading statements. She stated her belief that healing the country and bringing Americans together is the key to a strong and united nation. She acknowledged the challenges ahead but reiterated her determination to do whatever it takes to save the country.
As the election looms, Haley will continue her campaign, particularly focusing on her home state of South Carolina, where she believes her conservative values and fighting spirit will resonate with voters.
