Trump Rallies with South Carolina Leaders in New Hampshire, Haley and DeSantis Focus on Independent Voters

As the New Hampshire primary approaches, Trump showcases his support from South Carolina leaders, while Haley and DeSantis aim to appeal to independent voters. DeSantis shifts his campaign focus to South Carolina, despite Trump's lead in the state.

  • Former President Donald Trump is joined by South Carolina leaders at a New Hampshire rally, in a move seen as a show of strength ahead of the New Hampshire primary and a blow to Nikki Haley, who is hoping for a strong finish in the state.
  • Independent voters in New Hampshire, who make up 39% of the electorate, could be key to the outcome of the GOP contest. Recent polls show Haley's edge among them narrowing, complicating her path to a competitive finish.
  • Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is focusing his campaign efforts on South Carolina, where he is hoping to gain ground in the polls and present himself as the best alternative to Trump.
  • Despite Trump's lead in South Carolina, some voters express readiness to support DeSantis, citing his straightforward approach and less dramatic style compared to Trump.
  • Haley is facing criticism for not participating in two scheduled debates in New Hampshire, a move that some strategists believe could have helped her reach the unaffiliated voters she needs to win.
