vote for him this time, why would they be encouraged to support nikki haley? why would they be encouraged to go into a republican primary in order to get her to be the nominee or have a strong showing? i would just ask people given what is going on in this country and around the world, what kind of republican do you want to nominate to take on biden and this horror story? is it a person who relies on the same elements, the money people, the party leaders and voters in the democrat party? doesn't sound smart to me. see you next time on "life, liberty and levin."

>> carley: the republican presidential field is officially a two-candidate race with ron desantis dropping out just before the new hampshire primary. you are uch watching "fox and friends first." >> todd: just before the start of football yesterday. twitter is talking about ron. i'd todd piro. it appears that 62% of desantis supporters say trump is their second choice over haley in a new poll. brooke singman will wrap things up before polls open tomorrow. >> brooke: ron desantis said he didn't feel right asking his supporters to. clear upgrade over biden and right party. >> he has my dorsement, we can't

go back to repackaged corporatism that nikki haley represents. >> brooke: former president trump thanking the florida governor for his support. >> he worked very hard. it's a tough go. he worked hard, his wife is a terrific woman. he dropped out and endorsed me. i appreciate that. somebody said what are you going to do with that name desanctimonious? we are retiring that name. >> brooke: sources tell fox news there was no call from desantis, but trump says he is honored by the endorsement. nikki haley seemed to brush off desantis criticism as she hosted a rally with judge judy celebrating the race is down to just her and trump. >> finding the person we can be

proud of, not only domestically, on the national stage, nikki haley has to be that candidate. >> how cool is it to have judge judy endorse you? it really is. >> brooke: brand new poll shows former president trump leading haley by 11 points and on the democrat side biden supporters are hosting an event to convince democrats to write in biden's name. think canman dean phillips will be on the ballot and faces an uphill battle to upset biden. when asked if he would consider a third party run, he did not rule it out. >> i will do anything it takes to defeat the most dangerous man in the world. i'm disappointed that so many people could have joined me on

the stage left me alone to do it. >> brooke: state officials don't expect a huge delay in having to hand count ballots. >> carley: we've been warned. bring in national press secretary for trump campaign caroline levit. trump 50%, nikki haley at 39%. can you give us specifics on what success looks like for the trump campaign in new hampshire? >> sure. i want to congratulate governor desantis as president trump did. it was the right thing for ron desantis to drop out of this race. it has become clear republican voters want to reelect president trump back to the white house. only republican who has not

admitted that appears to be nikki haley. she is parading around new hampshire. voters in new hampshire realize nikki haley is more of a democrat than a republican. her campaign is funded by democrat don't ors, her staffers are former democrat lobbyists and she is targeting formerly democratic voters. at trump campaign we want common sense independence, we want to rebuild the border and bring down the cost of utility bills and restore peace around the globe. there are not enough democrats in the republican primary for nikki haley to be successful. we are confident votes from governor desantis and vivek ramaswamy will come over to president trump. we encourage voters to get out

tomorrow and send a strong message like the people in iowa did that we will nominate president trump for our nominee. we can take the fight to our real opponent, joe biden and democrats destroying this country. >> todd: that said, haley has not suspended her campaign. all eyes are on her. i thought our colleague, kayleigh mcenany, who worked with president trump for a number of years, had a great read what happens next. >> kaylee: definitely a conciliatory tone, reminds me of his victory speech in oahu, that is the tone he will need to prevail against joe biden. where his challenge is here and going forward in a general election is winning over the nikki haley voter and the establishment voter and the independent. vise presidential pick is so

important. >> todd: can donald trump win over the haley vote in new hampshire and nationally? >> of course he can. i think president trump can win over any rationale, common sense american that believes in this country and realizes they were better off under donald trump than under president biden. donald trump secured the border, restored peace with signing of the abraham accord, our enemies were deterred by peace through strength policy. he rebuilt our economy for all americans, unemployment hit all time lows. americans should vote for donald trump, not just in new hampshire tomorrow, in the general election in november. >> carley: other side of the aisle, "wall street journal" has article titled biden has a michigan problem. that is a problem.

that is a state that decides who the next president will be ump trump is 47% and biden is 39%. you have reaction, a democrat congressman says the numbers are not where they should be. i told him to come to michigan, we need you here. adrian hammonds concern is growing and it should be problem is not policy, the problem is the man. biden campaign says poll numbers are off and they are banking on the economy improving and potency of abortion rights and access to mail-in and early voting. what about all of that? >> i would beg to say that the problem is both policy and the man. joe biden is the worst president we've ever had in american history. under his leadership, brought

secure border to a wide open border with invasion of 10 million people in every american communities, we've had fentanyl overdoses skyrocket under his leadership. he's hurt our economy. average american family is spending $37,000 more to have the same quality much life in joe biden's america. because of joe biden, his w weakness, he can't go to a podium without stumbling offer his words, he trips up the stairs to air force one and our adversaries know it. russia would never have attacked ukraine if donald trump were president. there would not have been a barbaric attack on israel. this is happening because of joe biden's terrible policies and

because of the man himself. he is corrupt and weak. american people see it, adversaries see it. they will reelect trump campaign this november. >> carley: thank you for joining us this morning. keep talking about president biden, check on what he's opinion up to lately. he spent 434th vacation day as president. biden enjoying the weekend flying back and forth between wilmington, delaware. he will return to the white house at noon today. he has spent 40% of his presidency on vacation. it costs $twenty,000 an hour to fly on air force one. back in 2022, fox news digital analysis found 57 of biden's delaware trips cost $11 million,

that is a lot of dollars. >> todd: he loves doing that thing lawyers like to do in summer where they come in from their vacation home at 11:00 on monday. you are president, i don't know if that is something you should be doing every single weekend. >> carley: he is always working, that is what the biden campaign says. 4 434 days, remember jim carrey and "mask" the visual of biden's face and the number rises. >> carley: capitalism is coming for socialists of america. why the group is seeing more red than they bargained for. >> todd: if biden wants to win michigan, throw on barry sanders throwback. it is set. >> second tight end. goff in the end zone.

for sustained military campaign targeting houthi in yemen after 10 days of strikes failed to halt the attack. open-ended operation could derail the fragile peace and pull washington into another unpredictable middle east conflict. according to that "washington post" article, the thinking is to keep doing what we're doing now, taking out houthi missiles and they will not be able to attack maritime shins anymore. this could draw us into a conflict or war in the middle east, what do you think about that? >> michael: i think the administration is backing us into another protracted conflict in middle east because of bad policy. it is ironic, this same

administration pulled the tapes, beating up the saudis for engagement and war with the houthis just a few years agos and demanded they shut it down. now we are dragging ourselves into it and rather than bombing every missile site in yemen, go after the disease, which is iran. you have to escalate to deescalate and this administration is afraid of the war spreading and causing the war to spread. >> carley: thank you for joining us this morning, have a great day. always this, allegations of inappropriate relationship between georgia da fani willis and a subordinate is so bad media is starting to concede her

democrats and independents, given the stakes in this election, to go to the polls on tuesday go, down the list, fill in the circle for write in and write in joe biden's name. >> todd: 20 seconds to you, joe, how embarrassing are the optics shaping up to be for democrats? >> well, speaking of the swamp, the fact that democrats have so little confidence in joe biden that they moved their primary to south carolina up to be the first primary because biden took such a beating in iowa and new hampshire in 2020 that tells you everything you need to know about the process, todd and carley. whether biden is on the ballot or not in new hampshire is basically irrelevant. he will be the nominee. even though most democrats don't want him to run in 2024. donald trump looks like in the driver's seat for the same nomination on the republican side. in the end joe biden has a record that he has to run on as far as inflation, energy independence or lack thereof. crime, the border. >> todd: go to go joe. >> wars and foreign. we got to go. >> todd: "fox & friends" starts right now. >> carley: have a great day, everybody. ♪
