king george v wanted it for his wife. >> initially it was intended to just be a gift to queen mary because she was very fond of anything that was miniature. but gradually as the project progressed, it turned into a showcase for british craftsmanship. >> reporter: now tiny treasures usually kept hidden inside the house are being unveiled, like this concert grand piano, as petite as they come. >> it's properly strung. you can press down the keys. >> reporter: and of course the crown jewels adorned with real gems. >> there were touches like the thrones in the throne room, but also sort of just ordinary domestic life. >> reporter: including a very small singer sewing machine. >> this little flap comes up, and it's hinged properly. >> reporter: and an evensy, weansy hoover vacuum, a relatively new invention back then. >> and the real key thing to it was it should be as true to life as possible. so we have running water. we have working lifts and electric lights. >> reporter: all the finest features in a miniature mansion open to visitors for many years to come.

i'm norah o'donnell. and it is now a two-person race. and today we spoke with nikki haley, who is going head to head with donald trump. haley is canvassing the granite state. she's hoping for an upset tomorrow night but is trailing in the polls. we spoke to her about the former ppresident and the issues, including immigration and abortion rights. another major issue in this race, the economy. wall street hit record highs in both the dow and s&p 500. but on main street, it's a different feeling for millions of americans. even with low unemployment and growing wages, cbs's tony dokoupil spoke with people who say they're still struggling to make ends meet. with the final push ahead of election day, both trump and haley are holding campaign rallies tonight. so let's begin with cbs's caitlin huey-burns, who has been out speaking with voters. >> reporter: nikki haley is campaigning across new hampshire like her political life depends on it.

>> to a big win! >> reporter: with florida governor ron desantis now out of the race and throwing his support behind donald trump, haley is scrambling to make up her double-digit deficit in the polls. >> i have watched the political class line up with donald trump. america doesn't do coronations. >> reporter: at every stop today, haley hoped to sway an undecided voter, and for one independent we spoke with, it worked. >> so you came in here undecided? >> correct. >> and after meeting her, did you make up your mind? >> i did. i did. i'm definitely voting for nikki haley. >> so you made up your mind right here in this booth after meeting her and asking her questions? >> correct. >> that is the new hampshire way. >> reporter: new hampshire gop chairman chris ager says independent voters don't all think alike. >> well, independent voters, i believe, will break both for trump and, i'd say, against trump, which is really a nikki haley vote. >> what do you think people

misunderstand about independent voters here? >> it's that swing vote that's relatively small that can make a huge difference. >> reporter: trump is campaigning here after a detour to new york, where the e. jean carroll defamation trial was delayed when a juror fell sick. and he's increasingly confident the nomination could be wrapped up by tomorrow. >> i think she'll drop out on tuesday. let's see what happens. >> reporter: independent voter kevin st. pierre is holding out hope for haley. >> anybody but trump. >> reporter: but he hasn't been able to persuade his longtime friend and neighbor, doug krause. >> i think he's an honest guy, and what he says, he did. >> i'm just laughing because when he says he's an honest guy, which i think opposite. >> reporter: and the new hampshire secretary of state is projecting record turnout in a republican presidential primary, expecting 37,000 more voters than in the last competitive gop race in 2016.

and rallies like the one behind me are aimed at turning out every last vote. norah. >> yeah. caitlin, while the republicans are expecting record turnout, what about the democrats, because president biden is not on the ballot tomorrow. explain. >> reporter: yeah. the democratic national committee had changed their primary calendar to prioritize south carolina. so biden will not be on the ballot here in new hampshire in the primary. so democrats are urging a write-in campaign. norah. >> caitlin huey-burns, thank you so much. now to our conversation with former u.n. ambassador nikki haley. we met her at a campaign stop in wyndham, new hampshire. that's about 30 minutes from here in manchester. >> you wanted a two-person race. now you have it. how do you win? >> we feel really good. the goal was always to be strong in iowa. we started at 2%. we finished with 20%. now it's to be stronger in new hampshire and then to get even stronger in south carolina. >> is donald trump mentally fit

to be president? >> i think he's mentally fit, but i think he's declining, and that's the -- look, do we really want two 80-year-old candidates running for president? because the concern i have is look at joe biden two years ago. look at how much he's declined in these two years. what i'm saying is why can't we go and finally get all of these people out of d.c. and go with new generational people? do they have to stick around this long when we see what a mess the country is in? >> today is the 51st anniversary of roe v. wade. that is no longer the law of the land thanks to donald trump and the supreme court. president biden said today that tens of millions of women now live in states with extreme and dangerous abortion bans. is president biden right? >> what i'll tell you is right is the fact that we didn't need unelected justices deciding something this personal. so what happened is you had unelected justices say this shouldn't be with us. it should be within the hands of the people. the people should decide. i am unapologetically pro-life, but i don't judge anyone for being pro-choice any more than i

want them to judge me for being pro-life. >> so you don't think a woman who has a miscarriage should fear getting proper medical treatment? >> i think every state needs to make sure that women are safe and that physicians are involved, that we do everything we can to support life, but we do everything we can to support moms. >> let's talk about immigration. you are being pummeled in this state by donald trump with flyers -- i've seen them -- and on tv. donald trump and his supporters are saying that you are too weak and too liberal to fix the border, that you have refused to call migrants criminals. >> donald trump has lied in every single commercial. when i was governor, i passed the toughest illegal immigration law in the country. president obama sued me over it, and we won. so if anything, what i have said is we need to go harder on the border. i think we need to have a national e-verify program that requires businesses to prove that people are in this country legally.

i think we need to defund sanctuary cities once and for all. i think we need to put 25,000 border patrol and i.c.e. agents on the ground and let them do their job. >> we talked about the issues with nikki haley. it's interesting. there were some undeclared and undecided voters there. and after that interview, they said they are now open to voting for nikki haley. and cbs news will have full coverage of new hampshire's first in the nation primary all day right here on cbs, the cbs news streaming network, and on paramount+. in another big development today, the biden administration scored at least a temporary victim at the u.s. supreme court. the justices ruling 5-4 that border agents can cut through razor wire that was installed by texas officials. conservative justices thomas, alito, gorsuch, and kavanaugh were outnumbered in the ruling. texas argues that it needs the razor wire because the federal government has failed to stop the flow of migrants. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news."

spot we know people can't avoid thinking about their finances. >> right here talking to people about their money. >> you really want to know? >> do i really want to know? of course i really want to know. >> i haven't seen any prices go down on anything. >> reporter: and we find lisa keezer feeling frustrated about hers outside this grocery store in derry, new hampshire. >> according to the government, the inflation used to be at 9%, and now it's at 3%. >> i don't know what pocketbook they're looking at, but it ain't mine. i've had to take on two jobs. >> two jobs? >> yeah, you have to. >> reporter: the need for multiple incomes is a fact of life in the raji household. >> we all work now. >> yeah, we have, like, six of us in the house. five of us work. you know, if you go back like 30 years, two incomes would have covered all of our expenses probably. >> maybe even one? >> exactly. >> reporter: and not just them. nationally, in fact, most americans 30 to 64 now say their

standard of living feels worse than their parents' at the same age. the president, for his part, points to improving economic indicators. >> in case you haven't noticed, inflation is down too, and it's going lower. >> reporter: and in the town of portsmouth, we heard about some at buff & file nail bar. >> all right. ready? >> reporter: owners andree connell and alex sullivan say whatever the bad vibes out there, business in here is booming. >> i'm sure people here talk about everything. what do you hear? >> i think people might not be as optimistic as they've been in the past, bt we've had a great year. >> reporter: but if you're not happy with joe biden's economy, what's the alternative? >> i don't know yet. >> really? a lot of people have already made up their mind, or they're totally disgusted and they're not going to vote for anybody. >> well, i'm disgusted. i'm going to vote because if you don't vote, then you can't complain, right? >> right. >> tony dokoupil is back with us. really getting a pulse from the voters there. >> yeah, she's not wrong. confidence is up. inflation is down, but those

food prizes year-over-year, they continue to go up. it's those things people deal with every day, groceries, snack food, that can shape their opinion. >> i did notice gas prices are down. thank you so much. today president joe biden and vice president kamala harris are putting abortion rights at the center of the political debate. cbs's nancy cordes reports tonight on their hope that the issues get voters to the polls. >> how dare he! >> reporter: the biden/harris campaign kicked into high gear today, going after donald trump on the issue of abortion in op-eds and ads around the country. >> in texas, you are forced to carry that pregnancy. >> reporter: the goal, to tie the recent rollback in reproductive rights directly to the gop front-runner. >> we did the roe v. wade thing, which we've been trying to get it done. >> reporter: since roe v. wade was overturned 19 months ago, 21 states have established full or partial abortion bans. the issue has galvanized voters on the left, who have turned out

to protect abortion rights in seven states so far. come this november, the issue will be on the ballot in up to nine more states, including battlegrounds like arizona and nevada. >> people have made it really clear that they want this right to be restored. >> reporter: jennifer klein leads the abortion policy effort at the white house. >> we've got folks on the other side who are really quite clear that if they could pass a national abortion ban, they would do so. >> do you want to see a national ban on abortion? >> reporter: at the march for life in washington friday, most people we spoke to said yes. >> yeah, i absolutely do believe that. >> not just in your state but across -- >> everywhere! >> i want to see them outlaw abortion. >> reporter: but so far the gop front-runner hasn't committed to a national ban. >> i'm not going to say i would or i wouldn't. >> reporter: here's why he's cautious. polls show two-thirds of all voters oppose it. >> you have to win elections. otherwise, you're going to be back where you were. >> reporter: with voter

enthusiasm still lagging on both sides, the biden campaign hopes that keeping abortion rights front and center will help motivate democrats to vote come november. in fact, the issue is so central to their strategy that it will be the subject of the president and vice president's first joint campaign rally of the season in virginia tomorrow. norah. >> really interesting. nancy cordes at the white house, thank you. turning now to some dangerous weather impacting the country, ice storms are causing havoc on the roads across the midwest, and heavy rains and flooding are prompting water rescues in southern california. cbs's elise preston reports tonight from los angeles. >> this is insane. >> reporter: southern california deluged. hours of intense downpours flooding neighborhoods in san diego. this car washed into a fast-moving storm channel. it's unknown if anyone was inside. >> everything underwater inside here.
