Trump supporters claim his double-digit New Hampshire win means Haley White House bid is doomed

Donald Trump won New Hampshire Republican primary contest against Nikki Haley – but Ms Haley has vowed to stay in the race.

“This race is far from over,” she told her supporters while in Concord, New Hampshire, after losing to Mr Trump, while his victory speech was filled with bashings directed at his opponent and criticised her for giving a speech “like she won.”

But many of Mr Trump’s supportersare not convinced that Ms Haley’s White House bid will stand the test of time.

Taylor Budowich, the CEO of Make America Great Again Inc, said in a statement that Ms Haley should finish up her campaign so supporters can focus on Republican party success in the election.

“Nikki Haley said she’s running to stop the re-election of Harris-Biden. Yet, without a viable path to victory, every day she stays in this race is another day she delivers to the Harris-Biden campaign,” Mr Budowich said.

“It’s time for unity; it’s time to take the fight to the Democrats and for Nikki Haley: it’s time to drop out,” he said.

This echoes the words of senators Marco Rubio and John Cornyn, who both posted on X that Mr Trump is the clear candidate winner, with Mr Cornyn saying the focus needs to shift towards beating Joe Biden.

“I have seen enough. To beat Biden, Republicans need to unite around a single candidate, and it’s clear that President Trump is Republican voters’ choice,” Mr Cornyn wrote, adding that he would continue to work to win a Republican Senate majority and to elect Mr Trump.

“This race is far from over” Nikki Haley said after New Hampshire loss

A Trump campaign official told NBC that Ms Haley would face more “aggressiveness” from her opponent in the wake of the New Hampshire primary, focusing on her record as South Carolina governor.
