3:29 am
"cbs mornings" and remember you can follow us online anytime at cbsnews.com. reporting from here in manchester, new hampshire, i'm norah o'donnell. this is "cbs news flash." i'm carissa lawson in new york. cbs news projected that donald trump wins the republican presidential primary in new hampshire. trump is now 2 for 2 after winning the iowa caucuses last week. no republican candidate has ever won both iowa and new hampshire and failed to secure the nomination. nikki haley vowed to stay in the campaign, telling supporters she's a fighter and saying most americans don't want a trump/biden rematch.
3:30 am
the next major primary will be held in haley's home state of south carolina on february 24th. on the democratic side, a write-in campaign for president joe biden defeated minnesota congressman dean phillips. the president was not on the ballot after a party dispute over the primary schedule. for more, download the cbs news app on your cell phone or connected tv. i'm carissa lawson, cbs news, new york. nobody gets crowds like this. they want to see our country be great again. there's never been a movement like this, make america great again, in the history of our country. >> i didn't get here because of luck. i outworked and outsmarted all the rest of those fellows, and i'm not going to talk about an obituary. i'm going to talk about running the tape and saving this country. >> finding a candidate we trust and also has the values of america at heart is probably the most important thing. >> you all supported nikki haley today. >> yes. >> what brought you out today? >> to vote for trump. >> i voted for trump. >> time for a change. trump has too much baggage.
3:31 am
>> i think this country needs donald trump to get things back on track. >> america decides and there's breaking news here in new hampshire. donald trump will win the republican primary. >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." from here in manchester, new hampshire, i'm norah o'donnell. and we begin tonight with the breaking news. cbs news can now project that donald trump will win new hampshire's republican presidential primary. >> i want to thank everybody. this is a fantastic state. this is a great, great state. you know, we won new hampshire three times now. three. three. we win it every time. we win the primary. we win the generals. we've won it, and it's a very, very special place to me. it's very important. >> we also just heard from nikki haley, who says this race is far
3:32 am
from over. we are learning a lot tonight about who showed up to vote. we know that this is an unhappy electorate, but the economy and immigration are the top issues on voters' minds. so far, 1 in 5 voters say they made up their decision in just the last few days, and we know that those voters broke heavily for nikki haley. a very modern, more independent electorate compared to what we saw in iowa. the new hampshire secretary of state saying there was record turnout here tonight in new hampshire as this was fueled by a lot of interest in this two-person contest. cbs's ed o'keefe is going to start us off tonight because he is there at trump election night headquarters. good evening, ed. and this is significant. donald trump achieving what no non-incumbent republican has ever achieved, winning both iowa and new hampshire. >> reporter: that's right, norah. good evening. and the trump team hopes to
3:33 am
leave new hampshire with the republican party agreeing with the former president that the primary campaign is effectively over, and it's time to turn republican battleships towards the general election and president biden. but if nikki haley, as she says tonight, plans to soldier on, the trump campaign says she will suffer, quote, unimaginable pain in her home state of south carolina given that that state's political establishment is firmly behind the former president. >> if you remember in 2016, we came here, and we needed that win, and we won by 21 points, and it was great. and today i have to tell you it was very interesting because i said, wow, what a great victory. but then somebody ran up to the stage all dressed up nicely when it was at 7. but now i just walked up, and it's at 14. but she ran up when it was 7 and, you know, we have to do what's good for our party. and she was up, and i said, wow, she's doing like a speech like she won.
3:34 am
she didn't win. she lost. and, you know, last -- last week we had a little bit of a problem, and if you remember, ron was very upset because she ran up, and she pretended she won iowa. and i looked around. i said, didn't she come in third? yeah, she came in third. and then i looked at the polls. she was talking about most winnability, who's going to win, and i had one put. i don't know if you see it, but i have one put up. we've won almost every single poll in the last three months against crook the joe biden, almost every poll. and she doesn't win those polls. and she doesn't win those. this is not your typical victory speech, but let's not have somebody take a victory when she had a very bad night. she had a very bad night. >> reporter: a few things to point out about who exactly voted here in new hampshire today certainly compared to iowa last week. the exit polls show us independent voters in this state turned out in large numbers, not
3:35 am
just compared to ruby red iowa but also to eight years ago when trump was first on a primary ballot in this state. fewer than half of those voting in the gop primary tonight identify themselves as republicans, and the independents casting ballots tonight are breaking for the most part for nikki haley. and one other warning sign for the former president. while he will win this state's republican primary, there is a warning for him when it comes to the general election. more skepticism here among the republican and undeclared voters who cast ballots today about whether he'd be fit to serve as president should he be convicted of a crime. that's significant because this is a battleground state that trump tried and failed to win back in 2016 and 2020. norah. >> ed o'keefe, thank you. let's go now to cbs's caitlin huey-burns, who is at nikki haley's election night headquarters, where haley just said that new hampshire is first in the nation but not last. good evening, caitlin. >> reporter: good evening, norah.
3:36 am
well, nikki haley took the stage just minutes after cbs news projected that her opponent, donald trump, would, in fact, win new hampshire. coming here tonight, she had managed expectations, arguing for a strong second place. and tonight she said that this race is far from over and that she's heading on to south carolina. >> i want to congratulate donald trump on his victory tonight. he earned it, and i want to acknowledge that. now, you've all heard the chatter among the political class. they're falling all over themselves saying this race is over. >> it's not over! [ crowd cheering ] >> well, i have news for all of them. new hampshire is first in the nation. it is not the last in the nation.
3:37 am
this race is far from over. there are dozens of states left to go. >> reporter: now, nikki haley vowing to move on to south carolina as she takes second here in new hampshire. but it is important to note that the battle ahead is even more uphill. new hampshire provided a very favorable electorate for nikki haley. 45%, according to the exit polls, identified as independent voters. these were voters that she was targeting with rallies, with diner stops, barnstorming the state, trying to convince those who are in the middle to come out for her. because she wasn't able to win here, there are lots of questions about what her path forward is, especially as donald trump, the winner here in new hampshire, has lined up south carolina officials to send the message to nikki haley that he is poised to do well there and win. and important to note about nikki haley, she has argued she won south carolina twice as governor.
3:38 am
but, remember, a lot has changed since her last election there in 2014, and republicans remind us that donald trump is running as if he is the incumbent and the face of the republican party. norah. >> caitlin huey-burns, who is there at nikki haley's party tonight, thank you. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news." feeling sluggish or weighed down? could be a sign that your digestive system isn't at its best. but a little metamucil everyday can help. metamucil's psyllium fiber gels to trap and remove the waste that weighs you down... so you can lighten every day the metamucil way. i love that my daughter still needs me. but sometimes i can't help due to burning and stabbing pain in my hands, so i use nervive. nervive's clinical dose of ala reduces nerve discomfort in as little as 14 days. now i can help again. feel the difference with nervive. did you know... 80% of women are struggling with hair damage? just like i was.

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm christina ruffini in washington. thanks for staying with us. the votes have been counted in new hampshire, and the next major test in the republican presidential primary will come next month in south carolina. donald trump, nikki haley, and president biden all insist democracy is on the ballot this year, but what does that mean?
3:41 am
before he left new hampshire, we sent tony dokoupil out onto the slopes to ask voters their views on patriotism in a divided nation. >> reporter: from the ice rink outside portsmouth strawberry bank museum, to the slopes of gun stock mountain in gill moerd, patriotism is everywhere in new hampshire. >> you love america? >> oh, 100%. >> 100%. >> of course. >> you love america, okay. >> reporter: but when it comes to labeling that love, things get a little more complicated. >> do you identify -- would you identify as a patriot? >> hmm. >> reporter: while we got a lot of very quick yeses. >> sir, i would do anything for this country, absolutely. >> hey, miss, how are you? >> reporter: as least as many folks weren't immediately sure. >> would you identify as a patriot? >> um, i don't know. >> would you identify as a patriot?
3:42 am
>> i would, yeah. >> okay. why is that a complicated term for some people? >> i don't know. >> it's complicated for you, not for me. >> you guys are going to have a great chat later. it's going to be awesome. >> reporter: as it turns out, patriotism has been on a bit of a downslope all over america. while a huge majority called patriotism very important to them back in 1998, fewer than half of americans say the same today. and there's a big partisan split. most republicans place the highest personal importance on patriotism while only about a quarter of democrats agree. but why? >> i think people feel like they can't be proud of their country if they aren't agreeing with what's going on. >> well, because it's associated with the wrong group of people. >> it's been compromised. >> yes. >> reporter: how did america become a wedge issue? >> it's a good way of asking a question. >> reporter: david greenberg is
3:43 am
a professor of history and media studies at rutgers university. >> you know, once upon a time, i think democrats and republicans, liberals and conservatives, they all kind of equally could claim the mantel of patriotism. all spoke the language of loving country, loving america. but over a long time horizon, it's really changed. >> an informed patriotism is what we want. >> reporter: he says republicans for daeblg decades now have promoted patriotism as a political virtue. >> i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america. >> reporter: but no one has wielded it quite like former president trump. >> nancy pelosi hates the united states of america. >> for him it's almost like a weapon. >> have you ever seen anything like that before? >> it's been used but never in this kind of raw -- you know, trump just has a way of just taking the finish off. he gives it to you straight and raw. there's just no moderation or
3:44 am
ambiguity whatsoever. >> reporter: back on the slopes, voters could feel that kind of division. >> would you put an american flag on your car? >> no. >> would you? >> yeah. >> you would? okay. >> so what is the difference between these two people? you're both americans.pyou both. >> i don't know. i feel like the american flag -- i think the meaning has changed. i think the country has changed a lot. >> would you put a flag on your car? >> um, probably not. >> why not? >> because i'm not very political myself actually. >> they think you're stupid in you're a patriot and if you care about the country. >> reporter: but if democrats once lost the love of country vote, joe biden hopes to win it back. >> we know america's winning. that's american patriotism. >> reporter: arguing his opposition and the trump supporters who stormed the capitol are downright un-american and asking voters to defend what he calls the true
3:45 am
patriotism of america's founding ideals. >> democracy is on the ballot. your freedom is on the ballot. >> do you think he can win with democrats with a patriotic pitch like that? >> there may be some who don't appreciate that term, so i'm not sure. >> reporter: but if we can't even agree on the meaning of the american flag, we are definiely on thin ice as we decide who's best to defend it. >> is there anybody out there who you feel like would restore what you feel has been lost? >> i don't think there's a single one of them. >> not one? >> i don't think there's a single person running that i'll vote for. >> if there is, i haven't met them. >> tony dokoupil on the slopes. overseas now, the u.s. and 80s allies continue to strike targets in yemen, working to destroy the ability of houthi militants to target ships in the red sea. for years the houthis were considered a smaller player in the middle east power struggle.
3:46 am
not anymore. david martin has a look at the group and the danger it poses. >> reporter: the houthis, the once obscure tribe from the mountains of yemen, have combined islamic revolutionary fervor with iranian-supplied weapons to disrupt global commerce and take on the u.s. military. >> they see this as a winning strategy for themselves. >> reporter: former u.s. ambassador to yemen, gerald firestein, says the houthis, who tell their story on social media, have cast themselves as champions of the besieged people of gaza. >> you know, they're battle-tested. they have been at war more or less on and off since 2006. i don't think that anyone takes their military prowess lightly. >> reporter: the revolution the houthis started in yemen created a humanitarian disaster of civilian casualties, disease, and malnutrition that was perhaps the worst in the world,
3:47 am
until gaza. so when israel invaded gaza, how did the houthis react? >> well, you know, along with most of the rest of the arab world, they were infuriated. and early on, the houthis tried to fire some missiles and drones at israel, but that effort was ineffective. and so beginning in mid-november, they started attacking shipping in the red sea. >> so these attacks on commercial shipping were, in essence, a fallback strategy? >> they were. i mean if the houthis had been able to hit israel directly, they probably would have continued to do that. but targeting shipping in the red sea, as we've seen, is probably more effective in garnering international attention. >> reporter: the houthis only control 30% of yemen, but that's enough to launch drones and missiles into the shipping lanes leading to and from the suez
3:48 am
canal. >> typically there are weapons that are imported in whole or in part from iran, either by sea or by some other method, but the houthis are very good engineers. they tend to improve those weapons and we've seen that for several years. >> reporter: retired marine general frank mckenzie is former commander of u.s. forces in the middle east. >> so houthi weapons can actually reach out and touch and hurt unarmed civilian shipping in this vital part of the world. >> reporter: this u.s.-owned vessel was never in danger of sinking, but the houthis have scared shipping companies into taking the long way around africa, in effect rerouting the global supply chain. >> as we have said repeatedly, the houthis need to stop these attacks and that they will bear the consequences for any failure to do so. >> reporter: ten days ago, american and british aircraft, along with cruise missiles from u.s. navy ships went on the offensive, launching 150 weapons at houthi targets in yemen, widening the war which had begun with a hamas rampage through
3:49 am
israel. >> i mean it was probably the least of the bad options that were available to the biden administration. >> reporter: the u.s. now finds itself in a running gun battle with the houthis and no immediate end is in sight. >> air the air strikes in yemen working? >> when you say working, are they stopping the houthis? no. are they going to continue? yes. >> is this going to continue until the houthis run out of weapons? >> i think it's going to continue in the houthis run out of weapons or we take their weapons away from them by destruction. i suspect that their intent is to continue to do this until tere's a cease-fire in gaza. >> that was david martin, and >> that was david martin, and th [stomach growling] it's nothing... sounds like something. ♪when you have nausea, heartburn, indigestion♪ ♪upset stomach, diarrhea♪ pepto bismol coats and soothes for fast relief when you need it most. we all know that words have power.

3:58 am
payment of $2,700. >> once we paid the rent, he never sent the lease, never met us at the house to ■giveus the keys. >> reporter: it was all a scam. the con artist had apparently created a fake listing for an actual rental and somehow gained access to the front door code. >> scammers have the ability to access certain databases and things that are available to agents. >> reporter: the fbi says americans reported losing almost 400 million in real estate scams in 2022. however, there are ways to protect yourself. >> we see these all the time, and there's so many different iterations of them. >> reporter: melanie mcgovern from the better business bureau says criminals copy legitimate rental postings and add their own contact info. she advises doing an image search to see if the listing pops up somewhere else. a red flag is when the contact avoids meeting in person and they request payment through gift cards or peer-to-peer apps
3:59 am
which are untraceable. >> a lot of times once you authorize a payment on one of those apps, you're not going to goetz that money back. >> reporter: listings with a suspiciously low rent price are also a sign the posting may be a fake. danya bacchus, cbs news, los angeles. and that's the overnight news for this wednesday. reporting from the nation's capital, i'm christina ruffini. this is "cbs news flash." i'm carissa lawson in new york. cbs news projects that donald trump wins the republican presidential primary in new hampshire. trump is now 2 for 2 after winning the iowa caucuses last week. no republican candidate has ever won both iowa and new hampshire and failed to secure the nomination. nikki haley vowed to stay in the campaign, telling supporters she's a fighter and saying most americans don't want a trump/biden rematch.
4:00 am
the next major primary will be held in haley's home state of south carolina on february 24th. on the democratic side, a write-in campaign for resident joe biden defeated minnesoa congressman dean phillips. the president was not on the ballot after a party dispute over the primary schedule. for more, download he app on connected tv. i'm carissa lawson, cbs news, new york. nobody gets crowds like this. they want to see our country be great again. there's never been a movement like this, make america great again, in the history of our country. >> i didn't get here because of luck. i outworked and outsmarted all the rest of those fellows, and i'm not going to talk about an obituary. i'm going to talk about running the tape and saving this country. >> finding a candidate we trust and also has the values of america at heart is probably the most important thing. >> you all supported nikki haley today. >> yes. >> what brought you out today? >> to vote for trump. >> i voted for trump. >> time for a change. trump has too much baggage.
4:01 am
>> i think this country needs donald trump to get things back on track. >> america decides and there's breaking news here in new hampshire. donald trump will win the republican primary. >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." from here in manchester, new hampshire, i'm norah o'donnell. and we begin tonight with the breaking news. cbs news can now project that donald trump will win new hampshire's republican pesidential primary. >> i want to thank everybody. this is a fantastic state. this is a great, great state. you know, we won new hampshire three times now. three. three. we win it every time. we win the primary. we win the generals. we've won it, and it's a very, very special place to me. it's very important. >> we also just heard from nikki haley, who says this race is far from over.
4:02 am
we are learning a lot tonight about who showed up to vote. we know that this is an unhappy electorate, but the economy and immigration are the top issues on voters' minds. so far, 1 in 5 voters say they made up their decision in just the last few days, and we know that those voters broke heavily for nikki haley. a very moderate, more independent electorate compared to what we saw in iowa. the new hampshire secretary of state saying there was record turnout here tonight in new hampshire as this was fueled by a lot of interest in this two-person contest. cbs's ed o'keefe is going to start us off tonight because he is there at trump election night headquarters. good evening, ed. and this is significant. donald trump achieving what no non-incumbent republican has ever achieved, winning both iowa and new hampshire. >> reporter: that's right, norah. good evening. and the trump team hopes to
4:03 am
leave new hampshire with the republican party agreeing with the former president that the primary campaign is effectively over, and it's time to turn republican battleships towards the general election and president biden. but if nikki haley, as she says tonight, plans to soldier on, the trump campaign says she will suffer, quote, unimaginable pain in her home state of south carolina given that that state's political establishment is firmly behind the former president. >> if you remember in 2016, we came here, and we needed that win, and we won by 21 points, and it was great. and today i have to tell you it was very interesting because i said, wow, what a great victory. but then somebody ran up to the stage all dressed up nicely when it was at 7. but now i just walked up, and it said 14. but she ran up when it was 7 and, you know, we have to do what's good for our party. and she was up, and i said, wow, she's doing like a speech like she won.
4:04 am
she didn't win. she lost. and, you know, last -- last week we had a little bit of a problem, and if you remember, ron was very upset because she ran up, and she pretended she won iowa. and i looked around. i said, didn't she come in third? yeah, she came in third. and then i looked at the polls. she was talking about most winnability, who's going to win, and i had one put up. i don't know if you see it, but i had one put up. we've won almost every single poll in the last three months against crooked joe biden. almost every poll. and she doesn't win those polls. and she doesn't win those. this is not your typical victory speech, but let's not have somebody take a victory when she had a very bad night. she had a very bad night. >> reporter: a few things to point out about who exactly voted here in new hampshire today certainly compared to iowa last week. the exit polls show us independent voters in this state turned out in large numbers, not
4:05 am
just compared to ruby red iowa but also to eight years ago when trump was first on a primary ballot in this state. fewer than half of those voting in the gop primary tonight identify themselves as republicans, and the independents casting ballots tonight are breaking for the most part for nikki haley. and one other warning sign for the former president. while he will win this state's republican primary, there is a warning for him when it comes to the general election. more skepticism here among the republican and undeclared voters who cast ballots today about whether he'd be fit to serve as president should he be convicted of a crime. that's significant because this is a battleground state that trump tried and failed to win back in 2016 and 2020. norah. >> ed o'keefe, thank you. let's go now to cbs's caitlin huey-burns, who is at nikki haley's election night headquarters, where haley just said that new hampshire is first in the nation but not last. good evening, caitlin. >> reporter: good evening, norah.
4:06 am
well, nikki haley took the stage just minutes after cbs news projected that her opponent, donald trump, would, in fact, win new hampshire. coming here tonight, she had managed expectations, arguing for a strong second place. and tonight she said that this race is far from over and that she's heading on to south carolina. >> i want to congratulate donald trump on his victory tonight. he earned it, and i want to acknowledge that. now you've all heard the chatter among the political class. they're falling all over themselves saying this race is over. >> it's not over! [ crowd cheering ] >> well, i have news for all of them. new hampshire is first in the nation. it is not the last in the nation.
4:07 am
this race is far from over. there are dozens of states left to go. >> reporter: now, nikki haley vowing to move on to south carolina as she takes second here in new hampshire. but it is important to note that the battle ahead is even more uphill. new hampshire provided a very favorable electorate for nikki haley. 45%, according to the exit polls, identified as independent voters. these were voters that she was targeting with rallies, with diner stops, barnstorming the state, trying to convince those who are in the middle to come out for her. because she wasn't able to win here, there are lots of questions about what her path forward is, especially as donald trump, the winner here in new hampshire, has lined up south carolina officials to send the message to nikki haley that he is poised to do well there and win. and important to note about nikki haley, she has argued she won south carolina twice as
4:08 am
governor. but, remember, a lot has changed since her last election there in 2014, and republicans remind us that donald trump is running as if he is the incumbent and the face of the republican party. norah. >> caitlin huey-burns, who is there at nikki haley's party tonight, thank you. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news." for moderate to severe crohn's disease skyrizi is the first il-23 inhibitor that can deliver remission and visibly improve damage of the intestinal lining. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine or plan to. liver problems may occur in crohn's disease. control of crohn's means everything to me. ask your gastroenterologist about skyrizi. ♪ control is everything to me ♪ learn how abbvie could help you save.

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." and as we are on the road this election season, we are making a point to speak about the issues that matter to you, the voters. and one of the most important issues here in new hampshire is the fentanyl crisis. the state has worked hard to bring down the 2017 peak of poisoning deaths and overdoses.
4:11 am
so we went to one of the longest-running recovery programs in this state to see how they are making a difference in their community. >> i took this little tiny piece of what i thought was crack cocaine, and i inhaled it, and i went down. it took six narcans to get revived. >> reporter: we met sean when he came looking for a new supply of narcan. >> hi. i'm norah. >> reporter: to help people like him, jess carter is on the streets five days a week for the nonprofit revive, helping people dealing with active drug addiction. >> fentanyl has now become the leading cause of death in this country of young people. >> yes. it's also kind of why we're all here. we don't want to continue losing our friends, our family, our community members, especially when there's a simple answer to reversing it right here. >> reporter: she thinks that answer is something called harm reduction. >> there's, like, ten wound care over here, so that should be good.
4:12 am
>> reporter: a method she said is effective because it meets drug users where they are. carter's view is shaped by her own experience, a former college athlete who struggled with addiction herself. >> ten needles, cotton. >> reporter: revive hands out things like clean syringes, fentanyl testing strips, and other supplies to help keep those gripped by addiction alive and prevent infectious diseases. >> for those who may not understand and say that's helping people abuse and use drugs -- >> we are allowing people to make a better choice for themselves. we're allowing people to believe in themselves when others might not believe in them. it's that first step that people can take. >> reporter: nationwide, close to 110,000 people died from drug overdoses in 2022. roughly two-thirds of those deaths were from fentanyl. the epidemic of overdoses is a topic presidential candidates are talking about here in new hampshire. >> the drug cartels are waging war on america, and we will
4:13 am
destroy those cartels. >> don't think for a second china doesn't know what they're doing when they send it over. that's the issue. >> reporter: while carter agrees the flow of drugs needs to stop, she says the heart of the issue is trauma and mental health. >> i got addicted since i was about 50 when i got divorced. >> reporter: for people like sean, the work revive does can be lifesaving. >> do you mind if i ask you something? >> sure. please. >> are you afraid of dying? >> yeah. i feel that i could have that chance to die every single day. i could have died last week, and i'm afraid for other people too. >> reporter: well, we're going to have more on the issues that matter to voters here in new hampshire and more live coverage at 7:00 p.m. eastern on the free cbs news app. now to some breaking news from the middle east. the u.s. military launched new air strikes tonight targeting facilities used by iranian-backed militias in iraq. now, this comes just days after
