The New Hampshire GOP primary race is heating up as Governor Ron DeSantis and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley emerge as the frontrunners. While both agree that the race is primarily between themselves and former President Donald Trump, they differ on who the second candidate is. In particular, Haley seems to be gaining momentum in New Hampshire, where she is picking up more support from independent voters.
New Hampshire, with its critical role in the primary process, has always been a state where independents play a significant role. Both Republicans and Democrats rely on their support to win elections. In this year's primary, the 344,000 registered as undeclared voters could have a decisive impact. According to some political observers, these undeclared voters are more likely to lean towards the Republican side, and Haley seems to be particularly appealing to them.
