host: two southeast new hampshire, exeter, new hampshire, the line for democrats, good morning. how is it going? host: doing well. what your question or comment? caller: the way i've looked at it and i haven't heard anyone talk about it but the major reason for it being taken away from new hampshire is just campaign-finance. i feel like they think they will make more money off another state that new hampshire. i was just wondering if you had any insight on that, thanks. guest: i don't know that it's so much a campaign-finance thing as it is -- this has been brewing on the democratic side in terms of t national party elites for some time. the question has been -- is new hampshire a representative electorate of the democratic party? by certain criteria in terms of racial diversity and so forth, the answer is no, new hampshire is not representative in that fashion. the question has always been -- what are their political traditions and other factors regarding new hampshire and the fact that it's a small state and the fact that it's basically an open playing field to these other cri

for folks in new hampshire. that, paul, how do new hampshire voters differ caus of ideology and what motivates them to vote? guest: i used to be a purple state -- iowa used to be a purple state. it has become much more conservative. republicans have done very well at the ballot boxnew hampshire a dozen through battleground states. we have a republican governor, a legislature that is majority republicans and the executive council also controlled by their publicans. our congressional delegation is entirely democrats. we are very much a battleground state. call it what you will. we state where independent voters, we call undeclared voters up here, they are influential in our president to primary. they make up about 40% of the electorate. we can vote either the democrat or republican primary. we c go into the polling station, register and get a republican ticket card or democrat card, cast our ballots and go back and reregister as an indendent. yes, moderate voters and independent voters in new hampshire are very in

what should new hampshire do?democrats have taken it away by insulting the democratic primary voters. they have said you cannot be trusted to vote and give fair shake to candidates of caller which is i think unfair to democrats. they voted for barack obama twice. i think that is unfair to these voters. but that is the message the dnc gave. can they fight back and restore or is south carolina going to say in front? i am friends with the south carolina congressman who helps joe biden win that big turnaround win in 2020. south carolina was not pushing for the change. new hampshire is hungry for it. south carolina meh. if new hampshire democrats confront this argument being made by the aoc side of the democratic coalition that these voters are not trustworthy, if they will step up and push back, i think it can come back. this is my opinion now. i think it was a mistake for new hampshire democrats to let the dnc treat their voters this way. that democrats would not push back and defend the primary. they lost it once an

their first snowman in new hampshire. they are one of the reasons we fight so hard for what we winston churchill once remarked that success is not final, failure is not is the courage to continue that counts. while this campaign has ended, the mission continues. down here in florida, we will continue to show the country how to lead. thank you and god bless. >> a healthy democracy does t just look like this. it looks like this, where americans can see my chrissy at work because citizens are truly informed. get informed straight from the source on c-sunfiltered, unbiasr word, from the nation's capital to wherever you are. because the opinion that matters the most is your own. this is what democracy looks like. c-span, powered by cable. rst this morning, two days ahead of the new hampshire primary, with andrew smith. he is the survey center directr at the university of new hampshire. we are going to be talking about new hampshire primary polling and other trends. good morning. guest: good morning. host: let's start off. tell

register group in new hampshire.over 40%. as a result of the undeclareds, and new hampshire, if there is -- there is a choice. they can pick up democratic knowledge or ballot. on the day of the primary. there was no reason to pick up a democratic knowledge because what is the point? the motivation for them, all the motivation was to pick a republican ballot. what were they going to do with they picked it up? they really only had nikki, i describe as mega polite, or they had maga. they had donald trump. a lot of them were -- there's no way they could support donald trump. republicans may become a conservatives baby or even something moderate, but donald trump was so offensive to them that there was no way they were going to do it. so nikki benefited from the undeclareds having nowhere to go on the democratic side. that is one of the reasons why she was so successful with these undeclareds, more moderate voters. donald trump was able to clean up with what? the conservative republican base because republicans today are

hampshire, with the new hampshire presidential primary. special edition of "meet the press" with kristen welker. >> good sunday morning from manchester, new hampshire, where just 48 hours from now republican voters will go to the polls to decide whether this primary race is in effect, over, or whether nikki haley or ron desantis can deliver the kind of comeback this state has long been known for, with her political life on the line, haley is stepping up her attacks while president trump appeared to rule her out as a running mate. >> americans aren't stupid now of to just believe what he says. the reality is what lost the white house? donald trump, donald trump, donald trump. >> throughout there, donald trump is telling a whole lot of lies. when you're dealing with the pressures of a presidency we can't have someone else that we question whether they're mentally fit to do this. we can't. >> nicki haley is a disaster. she is not presidential timber. now when i say that that probably means that she's not going to be chosen as vice president.

here in new hampshire.re was a lot of movement in these last days of his campaign. he was planning on being in south carolina all weekend long. the concern there is, maybe he thought he'd be getting better support in nikki haley state. um, not sure if he got that or not, but the reality is his trip back to new hampshire now canceled the event that was supposed to be here at 5 p.m. no longer happening, obviously, as 2024 race is suspended. so definitely disappointed supporters. i don't expect that they're going to stop yet. they should be still coming by and asking questions, but we have confirmed with the manager obviously that tonight's speaking engagement to rally support is no longer happening. all right, madison, thank you. and the race continues, though, because, uh, desantis is out. trump is still very much in. and so is nikki haley. right now we're going to go to brian yanis. he is with the haley camp. and he will join us now live with more on the ground there. brian hayato, we had just spoken to nik

a live look at nashua, new hampshire. all six registered voters there putting their support behind nikki haley. we are continuing our live coverage from manchester, new hampshire, this morning. let's go to them right now. set the scene for us. >> i think what we saw there with nikki haley is quintessential new hampshire, at least what new hampshire maybe used to be and has been until this point. a freewheeling moment on the trail. nikki haley there at a polling location out by the beach, taking as many questions from reporters as they could almost deliver. that's what traditionally you have had to do in new hampshire to appeal to voters. go to town meeting after town meeting, talk to as many people as possible. things feel different this time. one of the things i think that we have heard from nikki haley supporters as we went to events is that maybe they would have liked to have seen more unplugged moments like this. chris sununu, the governor with her, he is unplugged all the time. >> no matter what, i want chris sununu

he's awesome at new hampshire. great to hear from him. >> both of you have never been smarter or looked younger. >>> major developments overnight. iran launches ballistic missiles at noren thern iraq. what's going on here not far from where u.s. troops are located? >>> new this morning, we're seeing new images of an iranian air strike inside iraq. now iran claims it was going after a spy base they say was being used by israel's spy agency. they say it was in northern iraq. iran also says it fired ballistic missiles at what it called a terrorist headquarters in northern syria, and there were other strikes in syria as well. these were the strikes in the iraqi kyrgyzstan region. with me now, cedric layton. i glossed over what i think is the most significant part there. iran says it conducted air strikes. we're not talking about proxies or hezbollah or houthis. we're talking about iran that did this. how significant is this? >> that's huge. john, good morning to you. the big thing here is that the iranians themselves a

c4 new hampshire new hampshire voters a live free or die as the state motto. good to see you. >> take care. before thank you. arthel: are an exclusive reactin from former president trump saying he is quote very honored by the desantis endorsement. and as we just saw alexis mcadams is following the trump campaign she is live from new hampshire so again, alexis we have you back there. we are getting reaction from the former president said he's very honored by the desantis endorsement. already the attack mode seems to be set aside. we will see where we go from here. >> arthel, that is right how things a change in politics it's only a matter of hours ago we heard more about the attack ads but now things are much different florida governor ron desantis is dropped out i just talked to him a couple times this week and he told me he was not giving up on the granite granitestate and was all in els9 counties did everything he could to an iowa, he felt sure they are the ground game shifted a bit i did asked ron desantis are you looking for an offramp here are a focus on

i will call for more, debates she is not giving new hampshire wet new hampshire demands in a state or a time when they want, they may not want to be for her, but trump has not really gone up or down here. he's gone at 55. he's been stuck there pretty much throughout there for months. >> he hasn't given them a choice. >> she hasn't allowed them to want her. >> one of the things that i think, which is frankly wishful thinking, is if we can just get rid of trump it will be over. if we just get rid of trump. it's like cutting off the head of the snake or whatever the analogy is. it will be over. i do not buy that. i mean, matt gaetz was here. he's the heir apparent. there is a lot of people campaigning for that. but what do you think about that? >> i get, that i agree with that to a point. i also think though that trump is a singular thing. without the center of gravity that he represents and has provided for so long, the republican party would be completely loss and they would collapse in on itself in a way that it might not survive. so i think to some degree they're hanging on with him,

it's election day in new hampshire. polls are open for the state's traditional first in the nation primary. this year is different. all the action is on the republican side, with democrats not choosing delegates because they opted to let south carolina, with a more diverse voting electorate, go first. as is the tradition, it has been this way for 64 years, the first results are in from the tiny six-person hamlet of dixville notch, which goes to the polls at midnight, casting all six votes for nikki haley. her campaign calling it a great start to the day. despite donald trump clearing the rest of the gop field after his iowa caucus landslide and haley still trailing him by double digits in new hampshire. undeclared voters are today's wild card. this is still anyone's race to win. >> i could envision a double digit trump win ends the primary. if nikki haley wins, then buckle up. it's going to be a good one. >> a final tracking poll shows mr. trump steadily increasing his lead to 22 points. if that proves accurate, the for

to new hampshire voters. this is from andy, who's an investigative report wh cnn. high volume of robo calls featuring an ai voice resemblin president joe biden is ving new hampshire residents against vongn the upcoming primary. than-robo call app suggests a significant number of calls. it's unclear who was behind this disinformation. and he later reported that the fake joe biden robo call was set between 5000 to 25,000 phones on sunday, according to estimates from the anti-robo call application. there is this from the wall street journal. this is a statement from e founder we serve better pack on this mysterious robo call in new hampshire. we had absolutely nothing to do with the robo call and thi i is wrong. you also had t n hampshire department of justice putting out this on. voter suppression robo call complain to the unit. new hpsre doj has received complaints regarding a message encouraging voters not to vote in the dash and the governor chris sununu said he talked with the attorney general in new hampsh

new hampshire corrected. i think she was speaking tongue-in-cheek. this could be it. it really looks like trump has it in the bag but you never know with new hampshire. the republican primary here is always had a different result from n hampshirewhen it's an op, not an incumbent. this was breaking the mold but trump in some ways is a causation incumbent. host: let's talk about new hampshire. the primary will be on this coming tuesday. what are you watching for this coming week? guest: just watching to see what the arguments are. can anything that changes the dynamic? you've got donald trump doing a lot of events. he was in court yesterday in the e. jean carroll case which you would think would be a distraction from campaigning in new hampshire but him facing legal challenges is part of his campaign. he is running from court -- from the courtroom. what kind of crowds do they draw? on tuesday night, i saw donald trump had a massive crowd in atkinson, new hampshire. night in brenton woods. she had a good crowd.

they stumbled in new hampshire, but learned from new hampshire. give you another example, way back into thousand when john mccain defeated george w. bush in new hampshire by a sizable margin. both candidates and the rest of the field went to south carolina where there was a very different type of conversation and a different type of debate. i think again, because new hampshire has an open primary, because it is a relatively small population and geographically, we are accessible by road within a couple of hours in any direction you have covered, more than 80% of the states population because we side in a small geographic area in our state, it makes for a accessible way to get to voters and have a real, authentic conversations and q and a. the voters take it seriously. they have participated in this in many decades. we are used to having these conversations. i think we are good at it. it should not be a barometer that you should have to meet the expectations as a front runner to win new hampshire in order to maintain the order of states, in order fo

the first set of polls just closing in new hampshire.se, president trump looking to deliver a knockout blow to nikki haley and take full control of the g.o.p. nomination. but haley says no matter what happens tonight, she is in it for the long haul. we're just minutes away from getting the first results. plus my angle on what's at stake in moments. but, first, tonight we have reporters at the trump and haley headquarters. let's go right to alexis mcadams who is standing by at trump watch party. alexis, what are you hearing? >> hey, laura, we were able to check in with the former president today on the ground in new hampshire as he stopped at a polling location and to put it quite simply he is feeling very confident. he thinks he has it in the bag here in new hampshire. he thinks the granite state son board. why? he believes they like his border policies. and that's something that we have been talking to with voters, laura. what do they care about? the border and the economy here. really hitting home on immigration in this state. and, fox

hollis, new hampshire. amherst, new hampshire. hopkinton, new hampshire., they are higher income, these are towns with high educational attainment. and these are towns when just based on our estimates here, where nikki haley is supposed to do pretty much her best in the state. also, city of manchester, biggest in the state, which closes at 7:00. manchester and concord close at 7:00. nashua will close at 8:00. manchester requested more ballots as well. you're seeing here some of these towns, wyndham is another one of them, wyndham is a town that haley basically needs to be running even in, in southern new hampshire. it has a high median income. new market is another one. higher median income, higher educational attainment. haley needs to be doing very well there. these are the places, i'm reading off names here, cities and towns that requested more republican ballots. they are much more from the haley, what should be the haley side of things than from the trump side of things. also, i will show you again, any minute, we could start getting results from thes

new hampshirers are already heading to the polls. >> steve: littleton, new hampshire just opened.meredith was up at midnight at dixville notch where nikki haley had a sweep. >> mark: all part of the job. a good team with me. it is 8:00 a.m. in new hampshire. all polls have opened and we saw a few folks lined up ready to go. i saw somebody wave a maga hat as they were going in, indication of where they were place their vote today. a lot on the line. 322,000 americans estimated to show up to work. in dixville notch, naomi campbell, six people live there, they were counting the vote. this dates back to 1960. and nikki haley won the small town, all six votes going to the haley camp. donald trump front-runner in new hampshire. he got endorsement from one of the largest catholic advocacy groups. senator tim scott of south carolina, doug burgum and vivek ramaswamy, trump says it will make a difference going forward. nikki haley believes it is time for new generation of leadership. polls show haley would be trailing trump only by a few points. looking to see if she gained any ground after

hampshire to overcome that but new hampshire is very independent, new hampshire thinks through it allhey will go a different direction next tuesday. governor, you are officially out of the race back home in arkansas. i'm going to ask you, is there a candidate you would endorse now in this race? i could see myself down the road endorsing an alternative to donald trump so i'm watching it. i have not made a decision yet and we will see how it goes. i have helped build the republican party in arkansas, i have always expected to support the republican nominee but this is a precarious time for the party and i think we can come out of this but we have got to move quickly away from donald trump's hold on the party to a more independent voice, a more conservative voice and a principled voice and we will see if we can do that but that is what i will be focused on. governor, last question, you travelled the state of iowa, you braved those freezing temperatures like everybody else, what is your takeaway, having spoken with the voters across the state? first of all, gives you type in democracy, th

in new hampshire, we have an id law.ew hampshire we have same-day voting and very limited absentee voting, so we don't have optional mail-in voting for anyone who feels like it. we have not got voting on sunday in advance of tuesday because it is more convenient. very strictly applied.we have i cannot speak for other states, cannot speak to the caller's concern about other states, but i know in new hampshire we don't have the issues. we don't exclude people from the unless they are truly not qualified and there is an appeal process for them if somebody tries to exclude them from the ballot. while those may be valid concerns that a voter has -- and i am sure he is sincere in what he says -- she wouldn't run into those problems in new hampshire. host: let me take you back to the granite state, dover, new hampshire. this is sylvia, independent. caller: good morning. one of the things that hasn't been mentioned and i want to make sure hasn't been changed,■s if you are an independent and you go into vote, you can pick a ballo

new hampshire is stubborn. i hear a lot of talk right now about trying to bring the campaign to a conclusion and rallying around donald trump. and from our standpoint, you know, voters are out in polling places now, casting ballots, and we have shown that stubborn streak before. there is always that possibility. it is difficult to poll new hampshire. i'll say this that nikki haley has run the most authentic full spectrum new hampshire campaign i've seen this year. she put a lot of investment on the ground early, a year ago, and it paid off to get her into striking distance here. we'll see if she can carry it off today. >> let's talk about potential turnout. according to the new hampshire secretary of state, independent voters make up 40% of the electorate. that's ail little bit less than 2016. how do you expect voter enthusiasm and the independent vote to compare this year? what is your sense? >> the good news for nikki haley is undeclared voters are the biggest bloc in new hampshire. that's a group that tends

he's also in new hampshire tonight. dave weigel, political reporter for settle for an endorsement, director of the university of new hampshire survey center. andrew, you are that new hampshire expert. does what we are seeing in darkesville not tell us anything? what are you watching for? >> doesn't really tell us about who can actually win the primary or who's going to be coming the next president. it does say something about the history of the new hampshire primary. the hoopla that goes on around the primary. some of the quirky events that occurred in the state over the decade in the new hampshire primary that has been first. it's really part of the fabric of politics. it's always important to remember that politics isn't just that not symbols of policy and so forth. it's all of the other factors that go into the race and make it interesting. this is certainly one of them. >> tonight is also about the great traditions. bond, we all know that this is a very, very small sample size. tomorrow will be bigger. what are you

parts of new hampshire and look forward to do first in the nation. >> new hampshire has been first ination primary state for more than a century and every four years sits in political spotlight, role chris suglt nunu, who endorsed nikki haley says they take seriously. >> iowa picks corn and we pick winners. >> narrow the field. >> trump is watching polls closely. former president working to maintain momentum, adding another endorsement from south carolina senator tim scott and still slamming his competition. >> nikki haley will never secure the border or stop the fentanyl that is killing thousands and thousands of new hampshire citizens. >> what do you think is going on? >> this is what he does when he feels insecure and threatened. i worked with him, i know how he is. >> ongoing fight for undeclared voters is a focus. registered democrats cannot vote, undeclared voters can and they make up the largest voting block in the state. no matter the party, they care about the same issues. >> immigration, illegals coming across the border. >> i think the economy. >> gun rights, immigration an

this is new hampshire. new hampshire, you know, is notorious for this. one of the universities that had hillary clinton winning in a couple of bellwether polls we did back in 2008 when i thought the end of my polling career was inevitable and lo and behold, hillary clinton beat barack obama that year. so i don't, i mean, the polls show what they show. there's a margin of error. there's a 95% chance that the numbers fall within the margin of error, but absolutely a surprise is possible here. >> one of the big questions i've been hearing david is where did desantis' supporters go? >> they did break to donald trump. in the first half of the two-day tracking, it spl pretty evenly but last night's numbers rotated to donald trump. we saw those voters and some undecided voters breaking late to trump. but again, you know, polls are a snapshot in time and you know, it was a small sub sample in a two-day rolling average. >> we've heard voters this morning saying they changed their mind this morning. so ion know. i think you're in a tough business. kevin, your pape

up losing in new hampshire.worth a note to those pundits tonight about what actually happened there. >> yeah, i mean, and keep in mind, this was a little harder. they had a long list of names and none of the names were joe biden. so for him to win a write in effort like this, where the biden campaign was not on the ground, they were not organizing, is quite a statement. and at the statement, i believe the new hampshire delegates will be seated. i think joe biden is smart enough to know that it's still is a swing state and he needs to recognize those delegates eventually. but he felt it was important to take a stand about the first primary being in a more diverse state for democratic party that prides itself on wanting to make sure that everybody is included in the american dream, everybody, no matter who you are. so i -- you know, listen. and i think you guys have got over this. but he says he's the incumbent. you know, he calls himself the incumbent. he says he won. >> [laughter] >> whenever has an incumbent pr

i'm john berman in new hampshire. new hampshire is where the first in the nation primary is taking place. we're covering it right here from the ground. we have been talking to voters. what's on their mind, how they are voting today with about 7 hours left to get to the polls and cast that decisive vote. with me is dante, author of "stormy weather." they have been chasing the nikki haley the campaign and covering the democratic side. i want to start with you. you were at a couple polling places. one in manchester here, the biggest city in the state, and also on concorde. you heard from poll workers who said something about turnout. >> this was both volunteers for the campaign, this was new hampshire voter who is have participated in many of these elections, and they commented to us that they were surprised at how slow turnout had been this morning. we went there when the polls opened. when people might be voting when they go to work. they said they didn't see as many people as they would have expected. so this is expec

new hampshire is a swing state.ractice in my opinion. it's bad for the party and bad for people who want to see him defeat trump in november. i genuinely think dean phillips is going to rise in energy. the question is whether he can get big enough fast enough. neil: you are one of the few people saying that. always catching up with you, thank you very much. >> next week is the day. neil: andrew yang following that on the democratic side. looking at what went down in iowa, the early indications that could have forecast exactly what happened. ♪ liberty mutual customized my car insurance and i saved hundreds. that's great. i know, i've bee telling everyone. baby: liberty. oh! baby: liberty. how many people did you tell? only pay for what you need. jingle: ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ baby: ♪ liberty. ♪ businesses go further with 5g solutions. that's why they choose t-mobile for business. pga of america and t-mobile are partnering on 5g-powered analytics to help improve player performance. t-mobile's network helps aaa

the news comes with new hampshire set to hold its first in the nation primary tomorrow. it's now a two-person race for the gop presidential nomination, trump and former south carolina governor nikki haley, both vying for voter support. desantis canceled his new hampshire event on sunday, instead making this announcement online. >> now, following our second-place finish in iowa we've prayed and deliberated on the way forward. if there was anything i could do to produce a favorable outcome, more campaign stops, more interviews, i would do it. but i can't ask our supporters to volunteer their time and dwont their resources if we don't have a clear path to victory. accordingly, i am today suspending my campaign. i'm proud to have delivered on 100% of my promises. and i will not stop now. it's clear to me that a majority of republican primary voters want to give donald trump another chance. they watched his presidency get stymied by relentless resistance and they see democrats using lawfair to this day to attack him. while i've had disagreements with donald trump such as on t
