that nikki haily has got to push for debates, and if you look at the polls, she has messages that says i can go after donald trump successfully, his lawsuits, his status, his age. >> but she's going to have to win a primary at some point. >> no. i'm saying she's going to have to push and say if you want to win those reagan democrats, you're going to have to make an effort to stand out. >> thank you for joining us for the new hampshire primary. >> coverage continues next. good night from bedford. great to have you all here. we'll see you back in new york in washington in the coming days. >> get ready. this is haerk's late news,

a primary edition of fox news at night. and breaking tonight, the former president now two for two, winning both iowa and anew hampshire, and no candidate has ever won both without also winning the nomination, and yet nikki haley says new hampshire is the start and not the finish, vowing to keep the campaign running, and to her credit, she beat expectations coming in about ten points of donald trump. we're live in bedford, is newhalfshire on how the president reacted. >> we headed back her to bedford to give a recap, but the president wusurrounded by lots of supports and chanting make america great again. het thought he had it it when we have talked to him on the ground at a polling location

and called for nikki haley to drop out. watch. >> i want to thank everybody. this is fantastic state. this is a great state. you know we've won new hampshire three times now a, three. we win it it every time. we win the primary. we win the generals. we've won it, and it's a very, very special place to mech had. >> this race is far from over. there are dozens of states left to go. and the next one is my sweet state of south carolina. and now we're the last one standing next to donald trump. >> and that's what she wanted this entire time, right? she wanted a two-person race here in new hampshire, rather. pthat's what she got, and you saw what happened tonight with the polls here. you saw daunl trump was not only able to pull

out a win here but in the granite state. it was all about the retail politics for her team. they say they had the momentum and money to keep on going with more donations flowing in. but how confidant was trump? well, he's talking about presidential picks. both candidate were here tonight. watch. >> so is it going to be vice president tim scott? >> it's going to be tim scott working on behalf of the american people? that means donald trump. i don't think myself or the individuals. let's think about america first. >> so nobody will say. you want to be the vp, but one thing we know for sure, is that they will do you not support the president on the former ground, and it does help, when we were in that room, people were cheering and excited to see tim scott. so we'll have to see how it plays out here as they continue to push. >> we will. alexus live for us

on the campaign trail. alexis. thank you. let's bring in steve hilton, and kelly and deputy strategic communications director, and so thank you all for coming on. steve hilton is ready. we'll play some sound for you. here is nikki haley tonight. watch, and we'll get steve p's reaction. >> at one point in this campaign, there were 14 of us running. and we weret at 2% in the polls. well, i'm a fighter. and i'm scrappy. and now we're the last ones standing next to donald trump. >> like alexis said, she says her campaign believes she has money and momentum to keep going. you don't think that way? >> no. let's just review the

night. i want to use the word stunning in relation to both candidate, so donald trump, this was a stunning victory for him. this was the state that was all the republican primary states, the worst in the whole country for donald trump. and he wins a majority. he wins over 50%, and it it looks like daubl-digitt victory over nikki haley. and thenioalook at haley, and this is exactly what she and the republican establishment dreams of. and she is defeated by double digits. but the worst thing was that speech. she speaks stunningly bad judgement. let's think about the situation she's in. she wants to go to south carolina, a state she's miles behind donald trump currently, 20, 30, 40 points behind donald trump. she needs to persuade republicans who support trump to switch to her. so what does she do in that speech tonight? attack donald

trump more aggressively than she's done before. it is stunningly bad judgement. it makes me think she knows she's going to lose. she's not interested in winning votes. she's got something else going on. maybe her head has been turned by all of the media adulation. it's impossible to understand what she's trying to do with that speemp tonight. >> do you think steve hilton has got a point there? because nikki says she's staying through south carolina. she's way down in south carolina. it's 31 days away. that's a lot of kind of, you know, money and donors thinking what's going on here. >> absolutely. steve is spot on. when nikki took the stage tonight, it was not a speech that the american people needed to hear. we really heed the to take this time and come together because they've spoken. they've spoken loud and clear in iowa, with when they voted for president trump,

they did it again in new hampshire, and he's won in the primary before. so it's though surprise they came back out for him. and one thing i want to remind people, the republican base is maga, but drauchbld's base smore than maga. it has been more since 2015. so you'll see a lot of candidates following them to president trump. >> yeah. i think that's an interesting take. i want to play this sound byte. this is the media reacts to the trump speech, and i'll get kelly's take on this. this is a little bit of msnbc and then cnn, and we'll see if you agree with this. watch. >> one of the things that's interesting about donald trump's performance this evening is that he's mad. he's angry. that was not a celebratory trump. he's mad that nikki haley is still in the race. last time it was more gracious and thank you.

i'm glad we saw that because it's this incoherence and the register he's at at all times. >> i think it's both back takes. he's still in a fight. he's still in a fight, so you go after your competitor because you're still in the fight. it has nothing to do with you're angry but you're competitive. >> and you want to win. that's definitely key. we have to look at this. trump may have won, but we have to think about the fact that nikki haley beat him when it it came to moderates in new hampshire and college education of people who have that education level. and when he was in the primary before, he had a much higher percentage than he did this time. so he definitely did come across as being a bit angry. >> steve, do you find that? because i was watching the speech tonight, and it wasn't last week's speech where he was

complimenting ron and the rest of them because he beat them rety soundly. did he seem angry tonight? >> no. if you watch the whole speech. he was joking and relaxed. he was classic trump. the most angry person on the stage was nikki haley. but she made out it was she who made the brilliant speech and trump was angry. if you look at the difference between them, she went first. i was looking at it with friends and thought awow. she's going to concede because the way she started off, that was the direction it it went. and suddenly she took this turn into attacking trump. it was a mass ive take. trump then came and had to respond to that. i think if you looked at the totality of his speech, it was entertaining and pretty gracious and the usual trump we get. and it looked like the sign of a very confidant president trump.

>> nikki haley said it's time to put chaos behind us. listen to her.. >> for a lot of people, it's way too personal. it's not person for me. i voted for trump twice. i was proud to serve america in his cabinet. i agree with many of his policies. i decided to run because i'm worried about the future of our country, and it's time to put the negativity and chaos behind us. >> but a lot of trump supports will say the chaos is coming from a lot of the democrats, indictments and russian collusion. you name it it. and they're the ones getting up the impeachments, et cetera. what do you think of that? >> yeah. it's unfortunate to see her taking page out of their playbook to talk about

president trump being a liar. that was a new one, her claiming he was the one causing destruction and he can't lead haerk to victory. all of those things are words you hear from radical left and the media like cnn that is going on-air all evening saying trump lookss acangry, which like you said is not true. he was very confidant on stage tonight. he was having a great time. he invited multiple people behind him to take a victory lap because he is a team player and in it for the american people. nikki haley was corrected about one thing, and that's when she said it was a 2-player race. unfortunately, she had the wrong two people in mind. it's not her. it's president trump and joe biden. >> and if you look at the map of the primaries, it looks bad. i mean, the map is pad. her team has to say the map is bad. you're not ahead in any of

these states. in fact, you're way behind, and here we go. >> right. but as she said it's the first one. it's just getting started, and she said she's a fighter. she's a scrapper, and she's going to be in it it to win it it, enomatter what outcome it is. >> steve, your final thoughts on this, because she does look bad? >> i would ask kelly but really nikki haley tell us the state you win, you have the best chance with new hampshire and you lost. >> what's the path? >> whatever they want to say it is over. donald trump is going to be the nominee, and i just don't understand why nikki haley can't follow in the footsteps of those candidates all about winning the election and against joe biden. so i can't understand why she can't get that point because for the sake of the country she goes on about how important it is. so

let's go together and beat joe biden. >> i'm in the room, and she says it's just the beginning. it's just the beginning. it's not the end. my question is tell me the path, and let's all had jump on board. governor, thank you afor coming on tonight. we saw you last week in iowa. quibblingly i want to find out how is the basketball leg because last time you rolled in on the scooter with that bad basketball leg. so i want to make sure how it is before we current? >> well, i hit my achilles and haven't been invaded back on the basketball court. thank you for asking. it's doing good. i was on stage with president trump in a rally and excited to see him have that big win in new hampshire tonight. >> it it really is. you say the primary is over. for all

intensesive purpose, it the primary is over, but nikki haley says she is vowing to keep going. what do you think about her forging on? >> well, they know the campaigns when they run out of money, and nikki has a set of donors that would like to see her continue to have conflict between republican candidates, you know, put all of our focus on beating joe biden. if any of us ran for president, we all have one thing in common. we have to beat joe biden. we have to puuta republican in the it white house. the people have spoken. president trump with the wins and new in new hampshire. and it was said by steve hilton prior in the show, show uta state she's going to win. so if we can focus on how joe has been a disaster, that's better for our country to talk about that. >> now, governor, i want to see

if you can square these two things. i can't figure out the nexus and maybe you can. the it fox news voter analysis. this is what the question is. trump too extreme to win the general election? and it's split down the middle almost yes, 49% and no 51%. and if you would like to see change, no change 2%, and complete and total up heaveal, 29%. that's 73% that want massive change and yet they think the former president is too extreme. what do you think about those numbers? it's clearly an appetite for something different? >> well, new hampshire is a unique voting environment where you have 40% of the elective is independent. that means people who are moderate but people who would lean left. those people might vote for joe biden in the fall, but in the primary,

they're voting as never-trumpers. and so if you've got a 50/50 voter tonight where 70 plus of the team identify as a republican supporting trump, so trump winning wildlyb in what was the actual republican primary. and then splitting the votes between these two groups, that's what they are saying is too extreme. but they want the same thick. they want to have an up heaveal in government. this is why it's much larmer than people realize. the average american is fed up with the way people are running the country. >> i've got to go. do you know who the president and vice president is going to be? >> i don't, but president trump will choose an excellent vice president at the time of his choosing. right now we've got toue thite the country and win back the white house. >> governor, best of luck to you. thank you, sir. we appreciate your time.

>> thank you. former president trump taces a host of legal complications. we're live with a closer look at all the important timeline stuff on this, bill. >> donald trump opportunities rack up these wins in the gop primary, he's having to deal with a list of criminal and civil cases all at the same time, cases he says are politically motivated and meant to interfere with his campaign. here is what trump's upcoming schedule looks like. he won the gop tonight and got the causk s on february 8th, and primaries in late february, and trials and entitlement on march 4th. the following day, super tuesday, he's going to wrap up the montht of march in the new york state criminal hush money case. after his win tonight, trump says the country is literally on the line. >> we are going to win this. we have no choice. if we don't win, i think our country is

finished. >> and tomorrow, trump's defamation trial in the carol case will resume in new york city. his court dates have been piling up as this pick s up steam. trump has spent 15 edays cam page in new hampshire and 13 days in new york dealing with his defamation and civil fraud trials. >> i want to go to all of my trials. these are all again set up by biden and it the democrats. this is their new form of cheating. >> and earlier today, a federal appeals court in dc rejected donald trump's request to reconsider what he can say about his criminal case related to the aftermath of the 2020 election. essentially, it's a gag order. the appeals court today lightly held up that gag order, and it could go to the supreme court. let's bring in deagainst supporter and federal litigator vic. good to have you on.

which describes your view of charges against the president. le jitimate 33%, politically biased, 66%. that's a big number. more than 2 to 1 believes he's getting a rotten deal on this. and that's how this whole thing is going. >> it really is like a trial, this entire election process and where donald trump is now. all of these opening statements and salacious, buyoff, payoffs, hiding documents in all of these things that we've seen, rico conspearancies. dmou the jury is sworn in, and the partiess are making their argument. they're saying this is our evidence. and the jury is look at it and saying i can't wait to make my final decision because this doesn't hold water. the it closing arguments will be just before the election,b and the election will be when the verdict comes in. but you can't cry wolf every time based on the same

effects and have an audience believe what you're saying. >> yeah. it's a very good anology. we asked how confidant are you in the legal system. not at all confidant, 54%. that's the majority saying they're not confidant. for a person who is in this field, what do you think of that, vick? >> yes. thank you. i do have the privilege of going around the country and trying cases. it should have been the question of do you have faith in the jury system. the legal system includes district attorneys, appointed officials, united states attorneys and attorney generals. you take them out of the equation where they may be politically supported, the jury system works. they never get it wrong at least on my watch and my trials. however, i will say when the political component is in there, those numbers make sense. you just can't trust

the motivation. >> as you look at the trials, is there any chance some of these things go to trial before november 5th? i mean, are we going to have these things settled or decided, or will they be pushed? >> nothing consequench canal. maybe the civil cases have some amount of damages awarded, things of that to nature. nothing that can stand in the way of trump and his presidential campaign. now, we have serious egg on the face for georgia of the state case. why is that so important? that's important because he cannot pardon himself on a state case, only federal cases. and now georgia case is losing the the wind out of its sails. so he may be looking good and feeling confidant right now. >> that georgia case is maess, and it stands to become a bigger mess. vick, stand by. we'll get back to you. and coming up, the crisis on the u.s. southern border was

felt thousands of miles away. in fact, the immigration problem is for the second contest in a row, the no. 1 issue for voters. but first a live look at hampton beach new hampshire in the election state where democrats are focused on donald trump, but trump is still being shadowed by a woman still being shadowed by a woman named nikki haley. next. giancarlo! and i didn't live in that shoebox for years not just... with empower, we get all of our financial questions answered. so you don't have to worry. i guess i'll get the caviar... just kidding. join 18 million americans and take control of your financial future with the real-time dashboard and real-live conversations. empower what's next.

former president trump coasted to a win in new hampshire, but nikki haley is promising to remain in the race for president. in the past

week, we have also learned that immigration is at the top of the list for gop voters. and of course, the exceptional reporter on the border certainly kept that issue front and center. bill joins us live, again with the very latest on this. people do realize it's a mess, bill. >> and it's been a mess for three years. and trump's's handling on the boarder continue to sing like a lot. they say it's their no. 1 priority this election year. >> we're concerned about safety and security, particularly the border. >> i'm a legal immigrant from germany, so just bring hillians of people in the country and let them with no housing, with no nothing, it's really a horrible policy. and it's not working. >> and this comes as the month of dial december saw the most number of illegal crossings in recorded history. biden continues to break all of the

records across the board year after year after year. and despite officialss, president biden finally admitted it's no not. >> meanwhile during his victory speech in new hampshire tonight, president trump weighed in on the importance of securing our border. >> immigration is a big deal, a very big deal. we have millions and millions of people flowing into our country illegally. we have no idea who the hell they are, and it's just killing our country. >> and remember, yesterday, the supreme court ruled that the biden administration can resume cutting down the raiser wire, and the cases are still being litigateed. >> the biden administration has

tried to stop texas literally at every single term as they secure their own border. >> let's bring in the manager. thank you both for coming on. i wantt to put this up on the graen because this is the analysis, national priority, and look at what's ninety-two 1, immigration, interest the second week in a row. it's not just no. 1. it's no. 1 by a mile. what do you think about this? >> well, the immigration issues felt in a very real way in comparison to fentinal and other opioids. anew hampshire was one of the worst states in the nation for opioid deaths and overdoses. it it tracked down. and the second issue is that we had some high profile stories recently. a few months ago, they reported on mass murderer in

brazil woo was discovered and been here for years working at a job site, having a home. no one spotted him. boston just had an incident where he was accused of raping an elderly person. they said we're ignoring you detainer and lereleased this it person. >> we put it up on the screen. we put it up night after night after night. do you favor or oppose building a wall among the u.s. southern border. it's a very big number, kareem. a law of people are frustrated with what's happening down south, even if you live 3,000 miles away. >> yeah. i think people are seeing this pan out in their local communities, even as far north as new hampshire. and certainly things that come up

are the northern voters. i heard from a lot of voters and not just republicans, a lot of central and independent. they are worried about the northern border. but most of all, you hear a lot of left-leaning people worry about the well-being of mites who are already here. it's draining. >> yeah. bill, i'm wondering if you're surprised the former president has not visited the border in this campaign cycle. >> i'm very surprised. it's bed and border. and some of the other condt went down to the border. all vized equal path. so far former president trump has not visited the southern voter during this campaign cycle, and you get the idea that the campaign almosts writes itself. if you go go down and get president trumpers

together. president biden wants to come for you. >> it would. it would tell self. here's nikki tonight, and i want to get your response. >> i want to congratulate donald trump on his victory tonight. he around it, and i want to acknowledge that. now, you've all heard thet chatter amung the political class. they're saying this race is over. well, i have news for all of them. new hampshire is first in the nation. it is not the last in the nation >> they're falling all thoferblz because you see the map, and it it doesn't look good. >> and you saw donald trump's. the numbers we speak just after midnight, about 3,000 people voted, former president trump won by about 11 points. that's

a pretty hefty win. now, the tracking poles showed a 15 to 20 pint loss, my former governor from south carolina. but it was a solid win for donald trump and really good turnout. it's not the the case in iowa where i think the folks who wanted the race wanted to go on at a good point this was a big turnout, lots of undeclared voters and lots of traditional voters and overwhelmingly it was 54 to # 4. it was a good night. >> yeah. you wrote quoting here who is a rhino. part of trump's branding of haley as a rine eo, and stems from the fact that people are supporting her in place of trump. does she have the ability to build the broad coalition that east

she should need going into south carolina and baunld? >> i simply don't think she eis capturing some of the core republican party voters she needs. donald trump has shown that's where her support lies. what she showed is that trump is probably setting a little bit right now. to win the general lection, depend on independent voters and moderates and people who are willing to change their mind on what party they're voting for. she doesn't have a good shot, but she showed donald trump will have to dasome serious work to win an election. >> yeah, he does. i've got five seconds for you, for her statement to say that he has to bring a coalition together because he needs more people to go out and win the general. >> new hampshire very much

reflects a general election population, and president trump has got his work cut cut out for him. >> yeah. that's exactly right. thank you all. up next, we'll continue our coverage for the primary and the big issue that mat aers to most voters, including education. and it's impact on your children as wellases the 24-hour election. breaking a worry for our family. so i can focus on my calling and our family. joining christian health care ministries was one of the best decisions we ever made. we're the blair family, and this is our chm story. choose your doctor without network restrictions. all at an affordable price. enroll anytime at chministries.org/enroll. if you try vaping to quit smoking, it might feel like progress, but with 3x more nicotine than a pack of cigarettes -

a biden-trump rematch is now closer as both parties won their respective parties. joe biden won even though he was not on the ballot in new hampshire. and trump won interest a record third

straight time. but nikk an i haley saying it's not the end, just the beginning. now, for the education issues they are playing in the season, let's bring in the independent woman's forum education freedom center. thank you both for coming on and joining us for the ed lection night special. i want to put apthis up because is your local k through 8 related to gender identity. too much? 78% say yes, too much, too little. 8% is about right. maybe like 18%. and should we spend so much time worrying about this other than maybe a little math and reading? >> maybe math and reading. >> why are we so focused on

this stuff? >> ask the california teacher association. i hope they're watching. they're not. they need to look at this data and understand what parents want their kids to learn in school. they don't want to focus on gender ideology. they need to learn how to read and basic proficiency in classic subjects. >> and jenny, the same for you, just different topic. local k through 8 schools, what are they teaching in sexual education. you see the number on the green, it is clearly way too much. it is kind of here we go again, but the point has to be made why are we doing this and what's your reaction to this, jenny? >> well, the good news is that families don't have to send their children to the local or residentially assigned public school. they can send their child to the school also local that doesn't do this and hyperfocus on sexual

orientation and gender ideology and keep it a secret through gender support plans. they are obsessed with these topics and really pushing it with the summer training through teachers, and the edu-crats are taking whatever they give them and pushing it out through classrooms. parents can say no and speak up through their local school board meetings, and they can allow them to lead that. >> and i think it's happening. the lieutenant governor of virginia westen sears said this. >> how about we, deserately fund the child. how about we desperately fund parents who want different for their child. clown, when did we have public education that says the government knows better than the parent? so we desperately need something different. the

child's future is at stake. the child doesn't get do-overs. >> she's so brilliant. she said things that i think that's spot on. i wish i said that. she's got it. she's got her thumb on impulsive america and parents. and she knows ppthe parents are, like, this is exactly what we need to focus on. >> and i have to admit, i'm pretty sad. i'm sad after this weekend because we had a person in this race woo was good on education policy. >> you're talking about ron desants? >> i'm talking about ron desantpis. he has brought the numbers up. they're not talking about sex with k-third graders. i'm sad we missed it to talk about politics throughout it country. >> a lot of people have said

these movements in florida has done wonders. and you see these movements across the country but so many obstacles. do you think this 2024 election can kind of push us over the edge toward some of these common sense measures? >> there's the election and and i was in virginia and fortunate to speak with the secretary. and so in addition to all the governor has been doing, he is laser-focused on learning loss and make sure the student's needs are prioritized and taken care of by the district who closed schools for too long here and started this crisis. we need to look for these high-dosage tutorings that's

happening, and states should be funding those over the next few months. >> i want to put this up on the screen, and get your thoughts. i'med of running out of time. i just want to touch on the first one, private school choice. do you think it is? do you agree? is that the number it one rool in education? >> it should be because it's no competition in california against the public schools. they have no incentive to perform, and i think school choice is the only way to bring this system into some sort of accountability. >> agree or disagree, jenny? >> strongly agree, for sure. >> okay. that about sums it up. jenny, julie, thank you both. and just ahead, our correspondents are back to offer their thoughts on this crucial night in new hampshire and where it goes from here? we're continuing coverage next. we're continuing coverage next. keep it right here. we all know that words have power.

welcome back to our continuing coverage. president trump scores another win tonight. let's come back for our final thoughts. bill, will

he tackle this debacle? >> so far it doesn't look like it. it seems like texas will hold the line. it it seems like a lot of escalation for a federal showdown. they raise it in a park called shelby park. they took that park over with armed soldiers and kicked the feds out. if they don't let the feds in to cut that raiser wire and say we're not letting you in, what happens next? >> that's a good question. if they go in and take out the raiser wire, does the federal government have a plan to secure. >> doj will probably go back to the supreme court and complain, but at what point do you stop the paper pushing and get past texas soldiers to get in there. >> yeah. could get ugly. >> athe top election is in new

hampshire and iowa. how do you think the importance played out in new hampshire as you covered it it and watched it all week long? >> every single time we talked to voters unprompted, they would bring up it the border and the economy. and we want to focus on how the government is focusing on immigration. and you see it all those issues there in texas. at the southern border, but people talk about the northern border and all the issues that come with that. sathey have a feteinal crisis, and people were telling us stories how they want to crack down on the border and drugs coming in. that's what drove people to the polls. trump went hard with that, and that's what we were kind of playing out today. >> were you surprised the president came out and said he knows the border isn't secure. did you hear anyone surprised by tat? >> i don't think anyone uzwas

is america's late news, the primary edition, continuing coverage on fox news at night. breaking tonight, the former president now 2 for 2 winning both iowa and hampshire, and if you haven't heard it, no candidate has ever won both without also winning the nomination. and yet, as you may have heard, nikki haley says new hampshire is just the start, not the finish, and she is going to keep her campaign running. and, to her credit, haley did beat expectations, coming to within about ten points of the former president. alexis mcadams is live in bedford, new hampshire, for how the former president reacted to his victory tonight. alexis, good evening. >> hey, trace. good evening. a win is a win for the trump campaign and there was a lot of excitement on the room. he had on the main topics, the economy and the border, and said this is the start of the general election where they will focus on beating joe biden. watch. >> let's not have somebody take a victory when she had a very

bad night. she had to win. the governor said she's going to win, she's going to win. then she failed badly. >> new hampshire is first in the nation. it is not the last in the nation. there are dozens of states left to go. >> yeah, and trump knocking haley saying she's not presidential material and firing back saying she's not going to listen what he says to do. she's not dropping out of the race. she held a lot of the events on the ground, more than trump. he had big rallies and she was more into the retail politics here, trying to go to the diners and the smaller vfw halls, et cetera. but she's also saying she's got the money and the momentum to keep going. more donations flowing in, but the question is how confident is trump now? he's already talking about vp picks. we checked in at the senator tim scott and vivek ramaswamy, that both had their names floated so far. watch. >> i know everyone's sq, but tell me, would you want to be h?

>> i'm going to do what's right for the country and as long as i'm able to be helpful in this campaign, it will be. >> but it all comes down again to the border and economy. check out that fox news voter analysis, trace. that came in as a top issue, immigration. so donald trump and his team believe that's what push people to the polls here in new hampshire. >> trace: we will talk about that a lot. alexis mcadams for us in new hampshire. thank you. let's bring in our election night power panel. fox news contributor steven hilton, political analyst and class action attorney kelly hyman, and former white house deputy strategic mutations director roman to robbie. i want to start with steve again he said he'll do whatever is best for the team. that means, if i've asked, you are darn right i'll be the vice president. >> i'm incredibly fond of him, he's fantastic. i've got to say, honestly one of the most positive and exciting and fresh things about the last few weeks is the way that vivek exited the race, back to trump.

he's now they're feeding him ideas. he's a really exciting example of the future of the republican party. nikki haley talks about youth and the future. vivek is that and he's with trump. i think that's a very important indicator. one other thing i would say, she's going on about south carolina, her home state, "my sweet state of south carolina." it is also tim scott 'estate. he is beloved and he still represents south carolina. she doesn't anymore. she left to be on the board of boeing. he is with trump. >> trace: you and i were both talking about this, steve. nikki haley was giving her speech and she said a couple months a few times, like she'll stay in for two more months, at least two more months, and you heard it might be longer than that, and the question is, that is a long two months. south carolina is 31 days away. it's a long time, and you talked about this because, when ron desantis week ago after

iowa -- when he came out, he was a brilliant and he said, we are going all the way. we came in number two. drops out. >> "we punched our ticket." hit was invalid very long. the same bravado, but no one was encouraging ron desantis to stay in the race. the consensus was it was over for him. however, with nikki haley, there's a lot of voices, many voices encouraging her to stay in, and just tonight, for you and our audience, trace, i read tomorrow morning's "wall street journal" editorial. a long editorial about this race. they are encouraging nikki haley to stay in, and to take the fight to donald trump. not just for two months. they say she should stay in until july, and the argument is, what if something happens with these trials and so on? and she's there as a backup for the convention. but the argument in response to that is, why does anyone think that anything that would happen in these trials would derail trump to? when actually so far the entire process, as our voter analysis

showed tonight, overwhelmingly seen by republican voters who vote in these primaries as politically biased against him, run by the democrats, and it actually helps them. so i don't see the case for her staying until july. >> trace: we will talk to our legal expert about that coming up, but it's a good point, roman. when steve says july, people think, july? there's not a state -- somebody said earlier, there is no path to win. there's not a single state you can say i'm going to do really well here and it's going to close. because right now it's not, and you think july is an awfully long time to be 20-30 points behind. >> yeah, you might think we are in march, because january has been such a long month already. but we are not there yet, and it will be a very long time for her to stay in this race, and get to that point. i don't see that happening. the mass is not mathing. when it comes to nikki haley getting to the finish line, and

what i would point out to the viewers is, if you drown out the noise and you pay attention to what she is saying and what the rest of the candidate said before they dropped out, as well, is that they were all running on president trump's winning policies. he has a proven track record of promises made, promises kept, a strong economy, he secured the border, he had zero wars, zero fights breaking out oversees the way that joe biden has a new one popping up every single day, and i think the american people are really smart and they been paying attention to this primary very closely, so you will see that, in the end, they will follow that policy into the voting booth. >> trace: i wonder, if you also think it's true that nikki haley has a lot of people in her ear saying, "hey, you're doing great, you have a chance, and if something happens to the former president, you are it." does she have that contingent that is kind of saying we got to

keep moving forward? >> she's got a lot of different advisors in her ear. it is clear that the talking points have kind of got off the rails lately. i spoke earlier about the position of lies she's decided to lean into you. but it is really not going to stick when it comes to getting people saying, i will choose you over president trump. at the end of the day, this is a fight between president trump and joe biden, and as you said earlier, these legal battles for president trump have really only helped him. they have really emboldened the american people to take a step out and say, this isn't right, what they're doing to him. if you remember, they've been doing it for the last seven years. it was russia, russia, russia, collusion, collusion. this is old news and he knows how to fight back. it's definitely not going to bring him down, and i think we will see him over the finish line standing there tall very soon. >> trace: she's right, because

the biden-harris campaign released a statement, does not acknowledge the write-in win that biden had. tonight's results confirm that donald trump has all but locked up the g.o.p. nomination, and the election denying the anti-freedom maga movement has completed its takeover of the republican party. while we work toward november 2024, 1 thing is increasingly clear today. donald trump is headed straight into a general election match up or he will face the only person to have ever beaten him at the ballot box, joe biden. they are prepping for joe biden, for donald trump, the whole thing. the whole machinery is moving toward donald trump. donald trump still kind of dealing with somebody in the shadows, nikki haley. >> nikki haley is in it to win it. she is still getting started and wants to keep on fighting and keep on going and keep moving forward, so for her, it is not a done deal yet. >> trace: it's not a done deal, but listen, the whole thing is there's no pathway to

get there, and i wonder if a lot of republicans are thinking, you know what? we really need to consolidate here, because we could have a battle. if she goes to july, that leaves august, september, october, november. that leaves four months to really focus on joe biden. >> that's a really interesting point you bring up, as well. and maybe things will change. maybe after south carolina she says that's it, i'm done, that i found it really interesting that in her speech she also went after trump about his mental capacity which i thought was interesting because you never done something like that before. >> trace: that was kind of interesting. >> it was ridiculous. as i said earlier, it shows that this is someone who either -- it's got to her head. all the adulation and fluffing she's got from the media the last few days. but if she actually wants to win, attacking donald trump is the last thing that she should do. she needs to win over the trump

voters. of course she is being advised to do that, but here's the thing, let's engage with the actual argument and take it seriously, the argument that is put by those who are pushing nikki haley. they are saying, look at her tonight. she did very well with independents. no one's arguing with that. and you have to have independents to enact a general election. that's all true. but here's the other thing. if you have her as a candidate, you can be sure that a big chunk of republican voters who cannot stand nikki haley will either stay home or vote for rfk or someone else. so to all that she may add in turn moves independents, she would also lose a lot among the republican vote. >> trace: the voter analysis says, vote for trump if he wins the nomination, yes or no? yes, 67%. no, 32%. he needs a bigger coalition. he needs more allies to jump into that 67% to really go forward and be a strong force against joe biden.

fair? >> his poll numbers are only going up. like i said earlier, once nikki haley does drop out of this race, i wouldn't be surprised if you see a whole slew of her followers leave themselves over to president trump. this is definitely going to be a very interesting race. we have never seen this before in american history, so everybody is paying very close attention to it. but if i could just give a little bit of free advice to the democrats, i would spend a little less time on nikki haley and a little more time on joe biden, because, just today, at his big first campaign stop in virginia, he was heckled 14 times during his speech from people who are not happy with his foreign policy decisions. so his own party, his own supporters, are not happy with him, and i think they should stop distracting themselves playing politics on the republican side of things and maybe focused on their own issues. >> trace: i've got to go, but what are you looking for for the next few months in this

campaign? >> and looking to see what nikki haley does, if she's going to drop out, if she's going to keep moving forward. is she going to get past super tuesday or is that going to be at? i think that's going to be key. >> trace: super tuesday, march . thank you. as primary season kicks into high gear over the next several weeks, former president trump faces a host of legal complications, as mr. steve hilton was just saying. bill melugin is live with a closer look at the all-important timeline of this. good to see you. >> as donald trump continues to rack up these wins in the g.o.p. primary, he also has to deal with both civil and criminal cases all at the same time. these are cases he says are politically motivated and meant to interfere with his campaign. let's talk about what his upcoming schedule looks like. take a look at this. he won the new hampshire g.o.p. primary tonight. he's got the nevada republican caucus on february 8th, the south carolina and michigan g.o.p. primaries in late

february, a trial in his federal january 6th indictment on march 4th. the day after that, the all-important super tuesday, then wrapping up the month of march with his trial in the new york state criminal hush money case. after his win in hampshire tonight, trump said the country is on the line. >> we are going to win this. we have no choice. if we don't win, i think our country is finished. >> tomorrow, trump's defamation trial in the e. jean carroll case will resume in new york city. his court dates have really been starting to pilot as his campaign is picking up steam ahead of the new hampshire primary today. he had spent 15 days campaigning in new hampshire and 13 days in new york dealing with both his defamation and civil fraud trials. >> i want to go to all of my trials. again, these are all set up by biden and the democrats. this is their new form of cheating. >> earlier today, a federal appeals court in d.c. rejected

trump's request to reconsider what he is allowed to say about his criminal case related to the aftermath of the 2020 election. it is essentially a gag order, and the appeals court today largely have h held up that gag order. >> trace: let's bring in criminal defense attorney and federal litigator vik bajaj. i teach you up because in the last segment they were talking about nikki haley who says she might stay in it until july. she's going to stay in it as long as she can with maybe some hopes the former president is put on trial and is convicted, and that might change the entire scope of this. do you see any legal road, any bumps so big that nikki haley might be right, that it's a wise choice for her to stay in for the long haul? >> today and now, answering that question, no. roughly a month ago, perhaps. the problem is that the attorney general's office, the department of justice, the district attorney and state

cases underestimated the appellate court process. what this has done now is put everything on hold. so there will not be a decision. not any sort of finality that can affect donald trump's presidential campaign. the real worry is the georgia case. what's happening now is the district attorney, that prosecutor is fending off motions and subpoenas for your personal records attached to the comingling of funds and giving a sweetheart deal to her lover. whatever that ruling is, that's going to be appealed, and that's going to be appealed. so the real harm behind door number two is nothing more, in my opinion, than just a whisper at this point in time. if nikki haley is betting on a legal outcome, it will tell you, as a trial attorney, no one has that crystal ball. don't put your money behind that horse. >> trace: just to give clarity to the audience, and you know more about this than anybody, vik, but fani willis, who brought these rico cases against

trump and a bunch of other defendants, she has been accused of having inappropriate relationships with the lead prosecutor who she hired. the lead prosecutor, nathan wade, doesn't have that much experience prosecuting, period, much less these huge rico cases. on top of that, they have apparently spent a lot of time together and a lot of money, and he was paid pretty prominently through public funds, and that is all working into this. and maybe nothing is wrong with this and it's not inappropriate, but it looks like it, and as you say, it is likely going to slow things way down. >> in the legal industry, this is not a red herring, trace. there is something wrong with this. this is hiring a prosecutor that you are sleeping with, having an affair with, and he's cheating on his wife, and saying, "by the way, honey --" you can just imagine it on their united airlines flight or your delta flight. we saw the tickets published today in the discovery motions.

"i can't get anyone else to bite debate on this. do you mind prosecuting this case for me? i know legally is not very sound but you've got this, baby." that's what we can't have. >> trace: and he said yes. if you're smart prosecutor you say no, i'll pass on this one, thank you. the pollster, also a republican consultant, said the following. "as of now, trump is more electable than most people give him credit for. but should he be found guilty? i think that changes everything." does it change everything? is he right? because his analogy was basically the indictments are the smoke. the guilt is the fire, and that can turn a lot of voters off. would you think that the proper assessment? >> perhaps. when you put the facts in front of a jury, you can bet that the testimony is going to be covered with great specificity. the words that are presented, the evidence, the photographs,

the real gove gr gravity will be presented. once that happens, it'll be abundantly clear, taking a look at the inside of these cases and how they working and how the elements are met or not met. it's going to be a tall order, trace, to have a jury say we all agree unanimously that there is guilt here, and this is not just a fishing expedition on a very lightly fueled case. we can't find him guilty perhaps of mistrial. i'm not worried about the federal cases, the way the momentum is right now is that donald trump may very well be in a position where he can pardon himself and excuse himself from those punishments. of course, the georgia state case, as we talked about, has its own significant hurdles to secure a conviction. >> trace: vik bajaj, thanks for staying up late with us tonight. we appreciate it. coming up, the impact of the crisis on the u.s. southern border was felt thousands of miles away in new hampshire.

♪ ♪ >> trace: former president trump coasted to a first in the nation primary win in new hampshire, but challenger nikki haley out-performed her poll numbers coming to tonight's contest, and now she's promising to remain in the republican race for president. who knows? maybe two months, maybe all the way to july. meantime, we have covered the illegal immigration crisis at

length here on "fox news @ night," and in the past week we learned that immigration is at the top of the list for g.o.p. voters, both in iowa and new hampshire. the exceptional reporting and nonstop reporting over the years by bill melugin certainly kept the issue front and center. he joins us live again with the latest on this. bill? >> president biden's approval rating on the board has fallen off a cliff, and voters in new hampshire have been telling fox news that the border is their number one priority this election year. >> i'm concerned about safety and security, particularly the border. >> i'm an immigrant from germany. to let them loose with no housing, with no nothing, it is really a horrible policy, and it's not working. >> this comes as the month of december saw the highest number of illegal crossings in recorded history, as the biden administration continues to just break all the wrong records across the board year after year

after year. despite officials in his own and administration constantly claiming the border is secure, president biden finally admitted, no, it's not. >> in the meantime, during his victory speech in new hampshire's night, former president donald trump weighed in on the importance of securing the border. >> immigration is a big deal. a very big deal. we have millions and millions of people flowing into our country illegally. we have no idea who the hell they are, and it's killing our country. >> trace, the biden administration has still not published publicly released the december border numbers, which will show the highest number of illegal crossings in recorded history. we know they have those numbers, they are sitting on them. they've been ready internally

for over three weeks now. how do we know that? because our sources have already leaked them to us. >> trace: campaign season. proof positive. let's bring in a managing editor of the new hampshire journal, and "boston globe" opinion writer, thank you both are coming on. we are going to talk about the immigration issue in just a second, but i would be remiss if i didn't get to dean phillips, the minnesota congressman who, by the way, had a pretty good showing tonight, michael. here's what he said, and i'll get your take. watch. >> joe biden is a good man. he's a fine man. yes he is, everybody. he's our president. but i've got to tell you, everyone, he cannot win. the polls are saying he cannot win neck. his approval numbers that he cannot win. the fact that an unknown congressman from minnesota, two weeks before the election, said i'm going to come out and run for president and just got 20%, that says something. >> trace: he's right, michael. he put up big numbers, more than a lot of people expected. you think that's detrimental to the biden campaign? >> i'm looking at the race from

the other side. we have been looking at how trump would do and how biden would do. i think that's more important. for example, trump will be around 55%. that's a very hard argument for the haley team to overcome. the same with biden. he was not on the ballot because of his own decisions. he made the decisions to diss the primary, made a lot of people mad. the democrats in the state put party loyalty first, did the work. he's going to have 60 plus percent, maybe 65%, entirely write-in. that shows that the two teams are getting ready to suit up. we've been talking about how trump does with his base and he can bring in independents. you got to start with a base. the one thing that unites democrats, i'll tell you this, trace: hating donald trump. it gives them all something to work on together. that's what drove the effort behind the write-in for joe biden. >> trace: i wonder if you feel the same way. if you look at the campaign,

nancy was kind of an afterthought and they battled new hampshire and didn't want it to have first-in-the-nation status, and there's no delegates to be taken away from it, but it is still important as far as symbolically, right? this dean phillips coming in and putting up a decent number, it is still going to get some press. it's going to get some talk. that is really all he wanted, to be talked about this week on talk radio. >> that's right. voters haven't forgotten the "biden in his basement" narrative from the last election. i think if voters weren't liberal-leaning independents voting for haley strategically to keep trump out of the race, they might've thought about voting for dean phillips. i think he got biden's absence on voters' mines, and it's going to be hard for him going forward. this will keep him accountable in running a race that caters to voters. >> trace: "the washington post" said the

following, and i'll get your take on this. it's almost certainly too a little and too late. but haley is giving republicans one last chance to turn back from the abyss. while trump embraces the apocalypse and phillips sings the song of self, haley is the only one in new hampshire talking sense. but you talked to the voters who support donald trump, and they think he is making making crystal clear perfect sense to them. >> absolutely. the three magic words of politics for trying 24, republicans like trump. toward the end, when it turned into "we must stop trump" as opposed to, "he's good but we can do better, a little less chaos." once it became anti-trump, that's when she started getting republican votes. but she ran a good campaign. even the people who didn't vote for her gave her credit, and governor chris sununu showed the national media that he is a

political star, something we seen in new hampshire for a while. and you see a lot of him, i predict, in the next two, four, six years. >> trace: immigration was number one issue. the headline is this, "biden has given the mexican government significant leverage." the headline, decking mexico for help at the border. he's given significant leverage as he continues to seek mexico's help to address a problem that only recently captured his attention because of its negative impact on his poll numbers. and that's what bill melugin was talking about. when the poll numbers are going down, the last thing you want to do is release the december numbers at the border that you know are going to be horrific. >> over 240,000 encounters. that's just monumental. and i think it's going to be really hard for the biden administration going forward, and i think he might take some stricter measures. talks of mexico aren't surprising.

i think going into november he's going to have to do something, because there are a lot of moderates and left-leaning independents bringing border security as a big issue. >> trace: bill, really, it's true. the concept is that biden is in trouble on the border and he knows it, and a big fellowship down. >> why are we asking mexico to secure our border? the u.s. is perfectly capable of doing it. we saw it in 2020 in 2019 under president trump. all it takes is the right policy. that's all it takes. >> that's a fair assessment. i've got 40 seconds left, but i want to ask both of you, do you really think that nikki haley will go? that she have the resources, the support, the revenue to go until july? >> there are plenty of billionaires who hate donald trump and they will write checks. the question is, what does she want to accomplish for herself? the longer she stays in, the more scar tissue she builds up with maga-leaning end trump-supporting republicans who don't want to forgive her for the fight. the sooner she gets out, the

quicker the healing starts and they can all kumbaya. >> your final thoughts on that? >> i also think it's going to come down to how long that money lasts. i totally agree with michael. >> trace: i think it's good. thank you all. we appreciate it. up next, we will continue our coverage of the primary and the big issues that matter most to voters, including education and its impact on your children, as well as the 2024 election. fox news democracy '24 continues next. ♪ ♪ there are some things that work better together. like your workplace benefits and retirement savings. voya helps you choose the right amounts without over or under investing. so you can feel confident in your financial choices. voya, well planned, well invested, well protected.

that means getting donald trump to be the next president. don't think about myself, the individuals. let's think about america first. >> tim scott was up on stage, trace, with the other supporters. it's funny how things change so quickly and politics. they were all going against donald trump a short time ago. they were running to be a better option for america. vivek ramaswamy had more measured comments on the debate stage. he never said too many bad things about donald trump, but it's funny to see them coalesce and get on stage behind him. >> trace: when he asked both of them, are you going to be the vice president? "i'm fighting for the team." vivek is like, "i'm doing what's right for the team." none of them said they're not doing it. "i'm fighting for the team and doing what's right for the team." >> that's right. they know how to get around the question, i guess. spewing of the ever expanding role in the election season. let's begin julie hamel, and the independent women's forum education freedom center

director, thank you both for coming on. i want to mesh, if i can come of the border as well as education, because we were kind of talking about this. what is fascinating to me is that you look at these states like colorado, and these are not red states by any stretch. chicago and new york. the complaint they all have is, by the flow of illegal migrants coming into these areas, it really is so detrimental to these underserved areas because they start putting them in these schools, and the kids that really need the focus and attention are getting less and less, and they say, we don't have the teaching resources or the schools to handle this. and yet there they go. >> i don't understand the biden administration policy here at all. earlier you showed a clip where biden was saying, show me the money to secure the border. all he has to do is stop interfering with texas attempts to close the border. to stop. >> trace: as bill was saying

earlier, why are you relying on mexico to secure our border? how about we secure our own border? how about instead of this whole immigration reform that we hear again and again -- i'm getting off topic, i know, but how about instead of this reform we hear again and again, which won't stop the flow of hundreds of thousands, millions coming across the border, how about we just secure the border and protect our schools so we can teach the children that we are currently not teaching? >> we certainly shouldn't be closing schools and housing migrants in those schools, which is what happened in new york city just two weeks ago. i expect we will see more of that as the migrants continue to come into the u.s. absolutely, the border needs to be addressed in the education of our students needs to be prioritized. >> trace: you talk about education, we did one of these, and i want to go through this to see if this education week is on the right path. the top five issues for education in 2024, if we can put

these on the screen, we talked about school choice being number one. raising teacher pay. is it important? is it something we need to do to better educate our children? >> i think teachers should be well-compensated, the teachers in america generally have very powerful unions constantly advocating for that, so i don't -- i'm not sure if the top issue for 2024. >> trace: i wonder if the teachers and the teachers unions -- the kind of been doing this mea culpa tour, "the lockdowns, we didn't want to do that." yeah, you did, we have it on tape and we play it every chance we get that you said this is how you want it to be. do you think you're trying to win themselves back into the hearts and minds of parents across the country? because public schools are hemorrhaging students. >> i think the teachers unions are always out for themselves, for money and for power and for

ever-increasing their influence over the politicians that their money and power elects. so i don't see any true remorse from the unions and the role they played in creating the learning loss crisis and the chronic absenteeism crisis we have right now. i think we need to be very clear in 2024 that we support classroom teachers, but we oppose teachers unions and the policies that they advocate. >> trace: number four is something that's kind of fascinating, because they have spent so much time and attention on this. less attention on gender identity, sexuality, and race. number four, should it be number four or a little higher? what's your thought? >> i would love to see less attention on those issues, but that requires the teachers unions have to stop pushing them. the discussion around those issues and going to just go awa. we have to keep talking about it to push back on the policies

that are already in place. >> trace: what are your final thoughts? less attention on gender identity, sexuality, and race. >> until schools stop keeping secrets from parents, until they stop having gender support plans where they intentionally push children down a path of social transition, changing their name and their identity and hiding that information from parents, we have to keep talking about gender ideology and make sure these parent exclusion policies are stopped. >> trace: great team, as always. we appreciate it. coming up, final thoughts on this crucial primary night in new hampshire and where it all goes from here. fox news democracy '24 continuing coverage, coming right back next. ♪ ♪ related macular degeneration could jeopardize my vision. great. one more thing to worry about. it was all too hard to deal with in the beginning,

to get a sympathetic jury out there. it'll probably be a conviction no matter what is presented in court. i think for the voters it would depend where it happens. >> trace: kelly, after tonight's results, do you see a path for haley's candidacy, going to july? >> they say if there's a will, there's a way, but it's going to be a rough, rough road she's going to have to go through. >> trace: if there was one state you could say she's going to win where she stands a chance, or let's all put our money here, that she is 30-something points behind in a lot of places. steve, you got something closer to home? >> my home state of california, our home state, trace. we are all californians here. >> trace: she's flirty end. >> we can keep her out of this. as many people in california know, i've been going around the state and focusing on getting back in what i used to do, working on policy. i used to do that in the british government, and i'm working on the biggest issue, in many ways, and california. the number one issue driving out
