“We will create a 2-2 structure in the Republican primary” expressing expectations for the future schedule
Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, who came in third in the Iowa caucuses held on the 15th (local time), the first presidential primary for the U.S. Republican Party, criticized the former and current presidents and expressed her expectations for the New Hampshire primary.
According to CNN, former Ambassador Haley said in a speech after the Iowa caucus results were confirmed that day, “Looking at how we are doing in New Hampshire, South Carolina, etc., I can say with certainty that we will make the Republican primary tonight a 2-2 structure.” .
With 95% of votes counted, former President Trump received more than half of the votes with 51.1% (55,726 votes). Next, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former Ambassador Haley recorded 21.2% (23,128 votes) and 19.1% (20,789 votes) of the votes, respectively.
Former President Trump established a solo system by securing 20 of the 40 delegates allocated to Iowa.
Former Ambassador Haley said, “I am leaving directly for New Hampshire (the next primary) tonight,” and added, “I will ask the voters whether they want the same thing or whether they hope for a new generation of conservative leadership.”
The New Hampshire primary will be held on the 23rd.
Unlike caucuses, where only party members can participate in voting, general voters can also vote in primaries.
According to the results of a public opinion poll conducted jointly by CNN with the University of New Hampshire and released on the 9th, former President Trump recorded an approval rating of 39% here. Former Ambassador Haley ranked second with 32% approval rating. The margin of error for this opinion poll is ±2.3 percentage points.
Former Ambassador Haley also devoted part of her speech to attacking President Joe Biden and former President Trump.
He said most Americans would not want to see a rematch between Trump and Biden, pointing out that “the two have more in common than voters think.”
Former Ambassador Haley said her campaign was “our last hope to prevent the Trump-Biden nightmare.”
