but i'm a pessimist, so i'm sorry i'm not as enthusiastic about nikki haley as nikki haley is. >> mikeesident biden's campaign was essentially dead until south carolina, so the calls for her to get out now seem premature. >> if i were to respond to that -- >> i didn't know who you are asking. >> i didn't know, either. but i wouldn't say it's premature at all. considering the fact that it's a two-person race. we are talking about joe biden and his multiple candidates in that particular primary. so, given the fact that so many other candidates have dropped out of the race, i think this is clear that this is a two-person race and the second person, nikki haley, has lost each race. i know a lot of her donors, some have said even on our network yesterday that, if haley didn't outright win this primary contest, that they were going to stop supporting her and they would put their dollars behind donald trump. i think you will see a coalescing of donors around donald trump. there are people who may not like his personality and some of the things he said, but he let his policy, and therefore the

nikki haley, it feels futile.ense that nikki haley rushed out to claim a second place victory that was less than the polls will probably come out. here with new hampshire republicans they feel like they have done their job. we are here with fox nation reporting on every aspect. back to you. >> sandra smith ha more on the issues that propelled the president to victory in new hampshire. >> just digging into some of the brand new data we have been collecting from the voters on the ground in new hampshire. a we -- key question for voters for our role in the world. we said do you want a more active, less active role. less active was more than half. 68% supported donald trump in this trump. just a quarter went for nikki haley. we asked them about the key issues with our role in the world. whether or not we should continue aid to israeli in the fight against hamas. 64% favoring continuing. 54% of those voters, voted for donald trump and 40% for nikki haley in this race. when we asked them about ukraine it was a bit of a

donald trump or nikki haley?k when you take a couple of steps back, todd, talking about hispanic demographic in south carolina, they hispanics make 57% of south carolina's population. 28% and nevada. so i think nevada gives us a little bit of a holes where the hispanic vote will lie with the republican party. it is important to know republicans talking about hispanic vote, they usually similar to the puerto rican vote. a very critical voting block. more than 67% of the hispanic voting block within the hispanic demographic is mexican to send puritan mexican-americans that live around the border. you are talking about brownsville, eagle pass, mcallen, tucson, arizona, and every single one of those cities went republican this midterm election. you are talking to counties in south texas under democratic control for over 120 years. because of this border crisis, two districts flipped republican. as we get out of south carolina and go to swing states like nevada, ohio might think it will be the hispanic vote that will

nikki brings winning attitude, it is awesome. >> great to be here, we are super excited. >> steve: nikkiust walked in, what do you think? >> awesome, glad to see her here and i think she's got a good chance. >> steve: if you vote for nikki haley as independent is that to get rid of joe biden or stop donald trump? >> i think it is both. a lot of people are looking for a change in approach and not comfortable with either major candidate. >> steve: sounds like bob is going to vote for you on tuesday. >> i will spend every day trying to make him proud. >> steve: new hampshire comes down to retail hol ticks. go to hockey game and brewery. she has and that is how you win. >> that is it, about connection. trump hasn't done it. his number stay stagnant. the wind is at her sails. >> steve: huge event tonight, tuesday is judgement day. now you have a judge. >> please welcome america's judge, judge judy. >> i traveled 1700 miles today to say this is the person who has to lead our country in 2024. othe otherwise, i'm going to be very disappointed and you don't want to be around me when i'm disappoin

for nikki haley. but as you said, this is something that she's been wanting. she's been saying since coming out third in iowa that she wanted a two person race and how she has it. the big question is, is she able to actually build on this and form a coalition of supporters? um, you know, obviously what we saw in iowa 56,000 people in the state voted for trump. um that's not that many. and that's what some of nikki haley supporters are trying to say, like chris sununu of new hampshire. they're saying, look, a huge percentage of the republican electorate does not like former president donald trump. and so we got to give her a chance. but we are also are seeing a lot of pressure from trump's surrogates. folks on capitol hill. we're seeing steve daines of the nrsc saying, let's coalesce around former president donald trump. so a lot of pressure behind the scenes, for sure. yeah, a lot of pressure. and it is really a much, really really a much, rey exciting race. see what happens. samantha jo, stay with us. we'll have a lot more. as we have been reporting a sunday

he will win big here. >> carley: nikki haley's campaign manager says south carolina elected nikki haleyw nikki's strong conservative record because she lived it. haley said donald trump will have a harder time falsely attacking me in south carolina, they know me and know i cut taxes. this race coming up is first she will face where she has a record in the state, that raises the stakes. >> i've nefrp seen anything like it in south carolina, number of people i've spoken to and i sit on the sidelines for a long time before i decided to endorse. nikki haley was a great governor and south carolina loves nikki haley, but they want donald trump united states baof his record of strong economy, because of his record of peace overseas and none of the endless wars. he has that record. people trust him and want to go back to the time donald trump was president. they were wealthy, more prosperous, they were safer here and around the world and that matters. >> carley: your endorsement took some people by surprise. you and he had harsh words for each other. what was that decision for you personally, w

that nikki haley represents. the days of putting americans last, of kowtowing to large corporation of caving to woke idea ol. >>ology are over. >> desantis is back in florida tonight. fox business correspondent madison alworth is joining live with more on desantis drop out. >> the restaurant next to me was to host governor ron desantis tonight and mark his return to new hampshire but now his exit from 2024 race to president,'s took so social security to announce he was dropping out and throw his support behind president trump. >> if there was anything that i could do to produce a favorable outcome, or campaign stops and more interviews, i would do it i can't ask our supports to volunteer their time and donate their resources if we don't have a clear path to victory. >> despite finishing second in iowa, desantis did not gain traction in new hampshire, polls show governor with 6%. president trump who mocked ded desantis det on the campaign trail, showed -- >> now there were desantis supporters who still showed up t

nikki will do that. thing people need to know donald trump can only give you four years that's like a football team can only play half of the game. it's going to take eight years to get this country straight nikki's youth and the fact she can give eight years i would also make the argument it's released three years because the last are of a term is political. like you are seeing now. president trump is going to be tied up in legal fights. weaning semi that can come in and work. the criticism that he has of heard the only reason he is doing that is because she is gaining in the polls. and he knows she is a serious threat this is a two-person race now. shannon: let's talk about why the critique said collector president you hyped eight years potentially a bore here's what he said the other night about her foreign policy. >> nikki haley is backed by the deep state of the military-industrial complex. she has never seen a war she doesn't like. shannon: he called her a globalist what is your response question.

the big move, nikki haley at number two.g second place at 20% followed by desantis and vivek ramaswamy. today donald trump held a rally in iowa where he reacted to the rankings. >> somebody points, i don't have the same vast wealth. >> in the meantime ron desantis and nikki haley finding out for second place for weeks. they been attacking each other incessantly. what desantis says haley is too liberal. haley says desantis is dragging in the polls and can't be biden head-to-head. desantis points out he's got more endorsement that south carolina haley is punching back. >> we have 74 endorsements from current former state legislatures, she's got 14. i have way more than donald trump as well so she was governor for six years get most of the with me because they see me as representing values. >> let me tell you why that is, that's because i push the legislature instead of was felt that they had to start showing their votes on the record so taxpayers could see it. i created transparency so no, elected officials and the statehouse

nikki haley. nikki haley. yeah as the vote comes in for nikki haley, you can see the, uh, the dog also supervising this election in real time. but an indication, again, of how friendly people are here that they all know each other. uh, that this is a, uh, i mean, you can't you can't beat this trace. it's so much fun to watch. you can't beat this. i mean, bill melugin was in iowa. bill melugin. oh, wait. are they going to read him? hold on. and another. and another result for nikki haley. yep. oh, wait. so what's the tally so far? mark? i missed it . nikki haley got all believes all six have gone for nikki haley. i just want to make sure i believe it's all six for nikki haley. but let me before i. you know, i want to make sure i get this right for you. trace. they're going to put it on this whiteboard. and as you see and stand by trace, here we go. oh, hey. yep. uh, attention building here. trace is the, uh, as the number comes in, and i believe as six is being drawn. yep. trace it is official. wow. all six of

that's the argument nikki haley is making. nikki haley won independents 59-33. if i'm trump, i go home, i celebrate, and i said that unit's party and win independents. that's how i beat to biden. >> jesse: they do say that and that's in the heat of the moment. this is a snapshot in january. "i will never vote for donald trump," and maybe their feelings change november. >> kayleigh: i must say, i know she says she's not running for second, but i think this is a play for the vice presidential nomination. we must unite the republican party. i think she's playing for that. >> jesse: so you think she's going to force the issue, drag this out, get some clout with some delegates going into the convention, and leverage her way onto the ticket? >> kayleigh: i think it's a real possibility. >> jesse: that should be interesting. i'm not sure the republican base is going to be thrilled about that. politics is crazy. >> kayleigh: they will vote for trump. >> jesse: what contributed to this trump win? let's bring in sandra smith, coanchor of america reports. >> sandra: we hav

that nikki haley represents. days of putting americans last, of kowtowing to large corporation of caving to woke idea ol. ology are over. >> desantis is back in florida tonight. fox business correspondent madison alworth is joining live with more on desantis drop out. >> the restaurant next to me was to host governor ron desantis tonight and mark his return to new hampshire but now his exit from 2024 race to president,'s took so social security to announce he was dropping out and throw his support behind president trump. >> if there was anything that i could do to produce a favorable outcome, or campaign stops and more interviews, i would do it i can't ask our supports to volunteer their time and donate their resources if we don't have a clear path to victory. >> despite finishing second in iowa, desantis did not gain traction in new hampshire, polls show governor with 6%. president trump who mocked d desantis d on the campaign trail, showed -- >> now there were desantis supporters who still showed up to restaura

idea that nikki haley is a globalist which is a criticism nikki haley compared to donald trump.uth. nikki haley is an open border globalist, who is bought and paid for not just by the republican establishment but also by democrat donors that are fueling her campaign. her campaign is run by democrat staffers here on the ground in new hampshire. they have made a very vocal and concerted effort to have democrat voters infiltrate today's primary. and with all due respect to the congressman, laura, he couldn't answer your question about what nikki haley's pathway to victory is. that's because she has never had a practical pathway to the nomination, never has, never will. we are 100 percent confident that president trump will have a big victory here in new hampshire tonight just as he did in the great state of iowa. don't forget, laura historic defeat over hillary clinton in 2016 voters have a long and deep connection with president trump and our campaign is fueled not by democrat operatives and donors but by grass roots patriots across new hampshire and across this country who believ

haley whereas nikki haley voters only 52% say their voting for her. voted against trump i would rather be the candidate with people showing up voting for me. guy: there is a soundbite from earlier in the day, sunday burning features on the newschannel, couple of posters discussing these dynamics, let's watch. >> i don't think she can break 35 right now. all of the numbers that we have seen it everything that we have done give her a cat. >> what about the mark the journal writes she is having a south carolina problem, that is her home state. >> she is, i think that's a trump firewall, that is her biggest problem right now, would you look at the overall party, 23 states have independence, most republican primary voters are in the suburbs which is really her strength and 49% are women. if she really needs to get momentum out of new hampshire and get within 20 in south carolina and have a campaign and if neither of these things happen, donald trump be the nominee come next week. >> with all due respect if you're talking about being within 20 in her home s

also more bad news for nikki.ublican fundraiser told cnbc on wednesday clients helped raise $100,000 for the campaign are now opting out of assisting her bad fundraising news followed haley's pitiful post loss spin raamah. >> today we got close to half of the vote. this race is far from over. there are dozens of states left to go with donald trump you have one battle chaos after another, this court case, that controversy, this tweet. i have long called for mental competency test for politicians over the age of 75. he should have no problem standing on a debate stage with me. the first party to retire its 80-year-old candidate is going to be the party that wins this election this is simply shortsighted on haley's part. she might not have liked our advice to drop out of the race it's been accurate. angle's advice has been 100 percent on spot. if she keeps on this path, she is going to convince people that she is a bush-cheney republican and then her career will really be over. everyone needs to understand this. how

nikki haley, nikki haley is in charge of security. we offered her 10,000 people. soldiers. >> martha: victor orban. anybody hear of him? one of the strongest leaders anywhere in the world. he's the leader of turkey? sioux falls. thanks very much, sioux falls. >> we all make mistakes under pressure like that. julia, the one thing that nikki haley was pouncing on in my last interview with her is the mistaking her for nancy pelosi and january 6 and all that, that this is what you get when you get two 80-year-old guys going at it. president trump is 77. what did you make of that? >> yeah, look, with john bolton, i think there's a perception among voters that he seems older than donald trump. he's older than donald trump by a few years. i think he acts older. it's easier to pull the clips if you go after joe biden to draw that contrast. donald trump at least from a public facing view still appears to have a lot of energy. yes, he's mixed up those names in those comments. it was easy for nikki haley to pounce on that. but i think it works -- probably a better strategy w

>> we are not nikki haley donore but nikki haley supporters.the independents movingva the needle and this is an independent group that tends to have a say in the selection.w ha we have just really been very successful in new hampshire. we brought out 20% new voters,. two-thirds of those voted for nikki haley who we strongly support. but we are not donors to nikki haley. we will support her in south carolina and super tuesday because the first time we have this one-on-one comparison then no longer confused by the attack, desantis run. this will be eliminating to the american public. >> laura: i will get back to this but she only won what was 26%, 28% of republican voters. a lot of the people you are referencing or democrats who switch their registration a few months back.exit >> we are looking at the exit polls. th >> in october and they didn't switch or lead peer those are independents, centrists, those are key republican party to not lose again as the senate under trump as they lost the house. t those are exactly the peoplehe that the republic

and you have a nikki haley pin., you voted for nikki haley. >> yes, sir. i'm a democrat, i've been a democrat since donald trump won this upcoming president rnl primary back in 2016. but i felt like my vote was better spent in the republican primary, and i voted for nikki haley for president and i do agree with her on some things. i agree with her on foreign policy. i think you know we do agree largely on the pro-life issue. but there are some issues that we do disagree on like the border policy. but you know, i still think my vote was best spent in the republican primary last night. will: if it came down to nikki haley versus joe biden which way would you vote? >> i think i would vote for her over joe biden. >> trump voter voted for trumple last night in the primary. >> yeah. >> what appeals to you about donald trump? >> it is more than just policy walls. the question of this upcoming -- primary wasn't just you know should the tax cut be x or y percent but where they're held accountable to american people or i beli

nikki haley plans to drop

nikki catches up.e event tonight at exdoor high school. tuesday is judgment day. judgment day. >> now you have a judge. >> please welcome america's judge, judge judy heinlein. >> i traveled 1700 miles today to say that this is the person who has to lead our country in 2024. otherwise, i'm going to be very disappointed. and you don't want to be around he when i'm disappointed. >> steve: no. i have seen that for a long time. >> that's outrageous. outrageous. >> i'm done, you're gone good by. >> everybody knows the judge speaks hard truth. she always has. she is known for speaking her mind. i'm thrilled she is going to do that for us. >> that is an easy task because it comes from my heart because i have got no skin in the game except as an american, as a grandma. as a mother. >> steve: judge judy between her and donald trump now. >> he should not be president. we don't want a barnyard bully as president. we want to listen to somebody who has got the facts that the world respects. >> steve: she would also

jon: now it's a two-person race, it is donald trump in nikki haley. he appears to be well ahead of her and virtually all of the polls. does she have a chance? >> she is tapping into independence, she is tapping into disaffected republicans, some democrats who have changed their party in october, there is a different poll of voters in new hampshire, yes, as you heard ron desantis in the campaign trail. 50% of iowa, that's only 110,000 voters wanted someone else besides former president trump. that said the former president is in the poll position here in new hampshire. just to go back in our town hall asking governor desantis about his weight forward, it's kind of telling a couple of weeks ago, his answer considering where we are tonight. take a listen. >> governor you traveled all 99 counties and talk to a lot of folks is not just one pull is a whole lot of polls that show you net connect with governor haley and trailing former president trump by more than 30 points here in iowa. is your message getting through? >> absolutely. first of all just to boi

>> nikki haley. >> lawrence: nikki haley? who is your best friend?one bye. >> bye. >> lawrence: back over to y'all. >> steve: great job at the copper door and thanks to bedford village inn. >> brian: and the crew tha

any nikki haley supporters up here? >> i will be casting my vote for nikki haley this afternoon.eason why it's a game of -- >> harris: do you feel you have to keep it a secret? >> i think we're obligated not to keep it a secret. this is -- i mean, who knows what is going to happen to america at this point? the fact is the work ethic that has developed in the latter days of the trump era i guess you could say for the republican party of if you do not support trump, if you not support trump or if you don't believe the election was fraudulent, you are a rhino. that's not okay. there are so many important issues the gop has an obligation to get behind and stop getting distracted by these things. >> harris: maria, do you have anything to say to that? >> i was going to original oy vote for ron desapidity but i will vote for donald trump. he did a great job over four years. our country was safe. we didn't start any wars. our border was secured. gas was low and although trump may not be a great diplomat, i think he is a great president and he keeps our country safe. other leaders of othe

so again, it is all about nikki haley and donald trump.e question is, we're waiting to hear, i'm sure, from the former, from governor desantis at some point. it will be interesting to see if he is going to give a full throated throated endorsement to president trump. and as we know, senator tim scott did that last night and it was quite full throated. meanwhile donald trump has a 19% lead over for nikki haley with trump. now he has. 55% support in new hampshire versus haley's with 36. and the question is trump doing everything right or is nikki haley doing something wrong? or is it just too soon to find any answer to those questions? because the race, as you see, is now taking a full turn with ron desantis officially dropping out of the 2024 race and he, in fact did endorse course president, the former president trump. it will be interesting to see the if in fact trump chooses if he wants it. desantis as his running mate. it seems that tim scott did not say no to that offer. if it were to come when he gave that full throated endorsing of t

[laughter] >> nikki haley's i was pulling out of the race.vowing to stay on through to super tuesday why do you think that is considering the polls? works there a lot of people around her making a ton of money if you been watching tv here every 30 seconds is a nikki haley ad. i think she believes she has a mission here. the people of her home state will speak tonight it will be a pretty loud resounding statement that they want trump i have got nothing gets nikki i like her a lot she is a wonderful family. i am not looking at who can beat biden i think trump can for sure i'm looking at who can turn the world around and i think that's trump better than anybody. biden is an absolute disaster's commander-in-chief this poor girl that got killed in georgia because of illegal immigrants the world is on fire in so many places we stopped exporting natural gas we own which helps russia. i cannot wait until the biden nightmare is over and one thing i can tell you the day trump gets to be president the world is going to fall in place pretty quickly. >> i

nikki haley. she found 43% of her supporters would vote for joe biden. she says she is locked up never trumper vote >> mollie: we have seen that and people who are never trump have been asking supporters to vote for her. chris christie was hoping his people would go to nikki haley thachl is her problem. she has to come in second with polling in iowa and could poll off new hampshire win that is pretty open primary and you can vote if you are democrats or independence. she has a ceiling of republican voters who want her. . >> harris: ask you about trump's words, he is going after nikki haley. he has gotten away from calling her the bird brain and he's saying she is not strong or tough enough and that may resonate with voters, they want somebody to bring about change whachl is your take? >> jason: key factor is safety wa wallets, neighborhoods and borders. if they are not strong enough, they are not able to offer safety you need. if donald trump gets north of 50%, game over. game, set, match. >> harr

nikki haley.s getting ugly. >> on tuesday you can declare that the republican party is never going back to the days of a weak establishment candidate. you want a losing candidate who puts america last, v vote for nikki haley. >> chaos follows him, and we can't have a country in disarray and a world on fire and go through four more years of chaos. we won't survive it. >> jesse: so donald trump is heading into the new hampshire primary tomorrow night with about an 18-point average lead. and that doesn't even really factor in the dissent's dropout. to santa breaking to trump over to nikki about-1. haley is facing pressure to bow out. >> yesterday and today, they said that i should drop out for the good of the country to support donald trump. [crowd reacts] america doesn't do coronations. we believe in choices. we believe in democracy, and we believe in freedom. >> jesse: but not everybody believes nikki haley is going about this the right way. she was confronted by veterans over the weekend. watch th

that is nikki haley.he next month and the next few months tull july will be that one-on-one comparison. i and i think nikki haley will come out looking like a star. >> neil: what does she have to do today though? he's going so far to say that you have to win it to be in it. coming in second, even a close second, ain't going to cut it. how do you feel? what would be okay for you? >> no, i think ron just dropped out. he's been relentlessly negative now the maga and trump low integrity campaign is throwing out mischaracterizations and outright lies. i hope that voters in new hampshire -- >> neil: i'm sorry. wasn't clear with my question. what does it take if she's ten points or more behind, you still stick with her? >> oh, absolutely. you know, i think she -- we're looking for that strong silver medal as i said before, neil. i think she has an excellent chance for that. you know, we'll all see. we'll know more in a few hours. for the first time we have this one-on-one matchup where people can compare. i'm op

ambassador nikki haley.u will see it as it happens the secretary emerges from the white house. who would've thought that after the ceremonial swearing-in of justice kavanaugh that they would be a bigger story today potentially? >> this is the trump presidency, and they're pretty good at that sort of thing. but to judy's point, it was a contentious week last week. the democratic strategy starting with christine ford was deposit the republicans as opposed to women as expressed by brett kavanaugh, it grew into something larger than they expected, he got confirmed. >> harris: live pick again as we are in the commercial break, we will come back to my power panel. stay close. so he can sleep. vicks vaporub. goodnight coughs. introducing ore-ida potato pay. where ore-ida golden crinkles are your crispy currency to pay for bites of this... ...with this. when kids won't eat dinner, potato pay them to. ore-ida. win at mealtime. i have fantastic news for who need money for their family. potato pay them to. with our ser

nikki haley a play for momentum. narrative was momentum and while she had been investing in some of the super pac money behind her was investing in this date here that at the barely she would make it close perhaps take over ron desantis. the hope would have been that she would have taken that second-place, a clear second-place, may be eating eved desantis out of the race. they finished neck and neck but well behind the former president. >> mike: there were questions, rich, the former president would achieve the 50% threshold. he did that. what about that? >> yeah, absolutely. just a couple of hours before the caucusing began, we spoke to a campaign official and what does victory look like here? it is difficult to downplay expectations. the campaign was saying before the caucuses began they would be happy to win era. and a win would be a victory and they would reassess moving forward. this is a campaign that first off as a candidate donald trump that has been saying pretty much telegraphing that he was going to do ver

i'm voting for nikki haley.ther the two of you could unify. >> i'm not interested in vice president. i don't play for seconds. i'm not doing that now. >> steve: real quick, i know you have been running 30-second ads all over for a long time. and when we had all the candidates in iowa. i asked everybody if they would like to make their closing argument. this could be the last time you speak directly to the people of new hampshire. there's the camera right there. 30 seconds, nikki haley, why do you want to be president? >> i think it's time we put an accountant in the white house. i have been a two-term governor that ran as the tea party candidate. i took a double dignity unemployment state and turned it into an economic power house. i dealt with russia, china and iran every day at the united nations. i know what it means to put them on their heels. more than that, there is no drama with me. there is no vengeance. at this point, we

that's a problem for nikki haley.you keep coming in and doing impressive second-place fin finishes, you just going to lose longer than you do if he was big in one state. but the other thing i think is kind of interesting, she goes into south carolina, where, as you pointed out, she's trailing terribly behind trump. trump has managed to beat two sitting governors in their own home states. he beat the sitting governor kim reynolds in iowa with her preferred candidate in ron desantis, and now he's beaten chris sununu keep in hampshire with his preferred candidate. obviously the republican voters are not looking for an alternative. they want donald trump. that's why he continues to win. i don't see a pathway for her to turn it around from here. >> sean: kellyanne come let's go to that 30.2% number. if you are nikki haley's campaign manager and you've got to regroup after tonight, you lost iowa and you lost new hampshire, i would think that's a pretty favorable environment for her to do well with independent voters, crosso

they keep talking about nikki, i like nikki. nikki, i don't think she should have done what she did, that fine she did it. even in north carolina, i beat her by number -- >> brian: right, she dropped out. >> they say when is nikki coming back, nikki is in and helping us already. people keep saying -- they don't say when you are bringing this and that, everybody is in and nikki is in and out campaigning and elon musk, look, i watched a rocket ship land four days ago. >> steve: that was stunning. >> you talk about people, this guy is unbelievable. i was on the phone talking to somebody on the phone and half falling asleep and important guy, very boring guy and i'm like this. the television sound is off and i see this massive like 20 story tall thing and i thought it was a space movie or something. this guy is so brilliant, i watch it come down and you can see it is still in good shape but burned to hell, traveling like a piece of fire. it is coming down, i said, that is going to crash. >> steve: this is not good. >> right? i see t

nikki haley won with independents.uld see that seven in ten of those unregistered or undecided voters in new hampshire voted for nikki haley. seven in ten republicans voted for donald trump. donald trump has a message that resonates because people say if i stand with donald trump i know what it means. it certainly means something on immigration, which we saw is important in the polling. it certainly means something on the economy. i was better off then and by the way, they reconciled themselves saying i'm okay with his toughness and gruffness and the roughness around the edges. i want a fighter back. >> harris: you would know. you are talking to voters every day for years. quickly, nikki haley talked a lot about the border. she wanted to differentiate herself from the rest of the pack on the left and said just like donald trump she would build a wall and do more. here is trump from monday night again. we showed you haley hitting trump. here is trump hitting haley. >> radical left democrats are supporting nikki for one
