: Trump or Haley?
Who will win the US primaries?
Update from January 24th, 4:10 a.m.:
Donald Trump remains true to himself even in the hour of success.
After his victory in the important US Republican primaries, the former president attacked his rival Nikki Haley.
“She's doing a victory lap, and we beat her so clearly,” Trump said of the 52-year-old in Nashua.
Haley is an imposter who claims victory for herself.
Haley previously said she would continue to fight for her party's nomination.
Trump doesn’t care: “She won’t win.”
Haley was defeated in New Hampshire, although she benefited from a less radical conservative electorate there.
According to the forecast, Trump won the vote clearly, but Haley did better than polls had previously suggested.
For Haley, second place in the primary is still a setback.
To gain real momentum in the race for the candidacy, she would have had to win in New Hampshire.

“I am a fighter.” She added that a second term for her rival would only bring chaos to the country.

Fox News,
the gap between Trump and Haley in the vote in New Hampshire was in the single-digit percentage range.

“We are funded and we will be able to fight our way through South Carolina,” Mark Harris told reporters in New Hampshire.
Harris also said that a result of 40 percent in New Hampshire would make him “ecstatic” – even if it meant a defeat in the “Granite State”.
“Our goal was always to get to a two-person race by South Carolina.
The fact that this happened is a big victory for us,” said Harris, explaining his anticipation of a possible defeat for Haley.

“He endorses me,” he added, referring to the Florida governor, who dropped out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination last Sunday.
Nikki Haley reported in an interview with
Fox News
that her campaign has raised around $1.5 million since DeSantis' exit.
Such “small donations” would show that people are “excited about a new generation of leadership.”

In an interview with the US broadcaster
CNN
, Nikki Haley once again talked about her internal party rival Donald Trump - and criticized the ex-president because of his age.
“That is not disrespectful,” she emphasized, but what is needed is someone “who is prepared to concentrate fully on this task for eight long years.”
“Do we really want two 80-year-olds as our options when it comes to the office of president?” asked the 52-year-old.
She also mentioned moments in which Trump appeared confused.
“I mean, we saw that he was confused,” Haley said, referencing a recent incident in which Trump appeared to have confused Haley with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“He was confused when he said Biden would plunge us into World War II,” Haley added, referring to a Trump slip from last September.
Duel between Trump and Haley: Ex-President is already thinking about his cabinet
Update from January 23rd, 7:27 p.m.:
While Nikki Haley has to try to stay in the race, ex-President Donald Trump is already thinking out loud about a possible cabinet.

Nikki Haley has responded to Donald Trump's recommendation to her to withdraw from the US Republican primaries.
“I don’t do what he tells me.
"I've never done what he told me to do," the Republican candidate told a

Politico
at the time to be the country's "leading voice on foreign policy issues."

The US primaries have been running throughout New Hampshire for around two hours.
A total of 24 names are on the list of potential candidates.

Update from January 23rd, 2:50 p.m.:

Haley has been present at 25 events since January 15, 2024.
Trump only attended nine events in the same period.

Update from January 23rd, 1:10 p.m.:

US primaries continue in New Hampshire
First report from January 23, 2024:
Concorde, New Hampshire - “Tomorrow we will win New Hampshire!” Shortly before the US Republican presidential primaries on Tuesday (January 23, local time) in the state of New Hampshire, ex-President Donald Trump was confident of victory like most of the time.
"Now we're down to two people and I think one person will probably be gone tomorrow and the other will be gone in November," he continued.
His last remaining competitor in the Republican primary is former South Carolina governor and former UN ambassador Nikki Haley.
The second person refers to US President Joe Biden, whom Trump then wants to beat in the presidential election on November 5th.
Anyone who wants to become a presidential candidate in the USA must first prevail in internal party primaries.
The candidates are then officially chosen at party conferences in the summer.
US Republican primaries in New Hampshire: Trump clearly ahead
Current polls also see Trump clearly ahead of Haley in New Hampshire.
While Trump can expect around 50 percent, the former UN ambassador gets around 36 percent.
With a victory, Trump could set the course for his candidacy early; he had already clearly won in Iowa in the first primary election.
Haley still has high hopes for the vote in New Hampshire.
Voters registered as independents are also allowed to take part in Republican primaries, which favors moderate candidates.
US primaries in New Hampshire: Democrats also vote
New Hampshire will also vote on the Democratic presidential candidate.
However, incumbent Joe Biden, who wants to run for a second term, is not on the ballot.
The background is an internal dispute: The Democratic Party wanted to move the start of the primary election series to South Carolina - to a state with a more diverse electorate, in order to give the votes of black voters a larger stage.
The vote there is scheduled for February 3rd.
However, New Hampshire did not want to lose its status as the first primary election state and insisted on its early voting date.
Biden stuck to the party line and did not get on the ballot in New Hampshire.
Only largely unknown candidates are listed there who have no chance whatsoever due to a lack of celebrity.
As the incumbent, Biden has no serious competition anyway.
