United States: the Republican primaries now pit Donald Trump against Nikki Haley – (franceinfo)
In the United States, the race for the Republican nomination continues on Tuesday, January 23. She must pit Donald Trump and Nikki Haley against each other, a duel that could soon turn into a solo race for Donald Trump.
Welcomed as a rockstar in New Hampshire, Donald Trump has a message to convey to his supporters: “Get out of bed and go vote! It’s a very important vote!” he said in a speech. The former US president is determined to win the Republican primary in this state in the northeastern United States. He seems to be off to a good start: he is almost 20 points ahead of his only rival, Nikki Haley, in the polls. For her part, the former ambassador to the UN is fighting back. “I voted twice for Donald Trump, I was proud to serve America in his administration, but wrongly, chaos follows him”she said.
Third in Iowa
Coming third in the state of Iowa, Nikki Haley could benefit from the support of many independent voters in New Hampshire. A narrowing gap or even a victory would put Nikki Haley in a good position for the next election in her state of South Carolina at the end of February.
