Ron DeSantis is out of the US Republican primary campaign for the 2024 US election. Now all eyes are on the duel between Donald Trump and Nikki Haley.

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 as confident of victory as usual.
"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.
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.

New Hampshire primaries: 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 an incumbent, Biden has no serious competition anyway.
