"Nikki Haley Gains Momentum as DeSantis Exits Race and Focuses on South Carolina"

Nikki Haley, trailing behind Donald Trump in the polls on the eve of the New Hampshire Republican primary, vows to continue her campaign for the long haul, emphasizing her focus on the upcoming South Carolina primary. Despite being down in most public opinion surveys, Haley remains determined and plans to hold a large event in her hometown and launch a statewide ad blitz. With Ron DeSantis dropping out and endorsing Trump, the former president remains the commanding front-runner, but independent voters in New Hampshire could provide fertile ground for Haley. However, strategists believe that DeSantis' departure may narrow Haley's margin for error, and some predict that a strong showing by Trump in New Hampshire could signal the end of Haley's campaign.
