“As she campaigns in New Hampshire, Nikki Haley challenged Donald Trump to stop hiding and start debating. ‘We’ve had five great debates in this campaign,’ Nikki Haley said. ‘Unfortunately, Donald Trump has ducked all of them. He has nowhere left to hide. The next debate I do will either be with Donald Trump or with Joe Biden. I look forward to it,'” says a press release from Team Haley.
Ooh that’ll show him. Nothing like challenging a guy to a fight he won’t show up for because he just beat you by 32 percent and has absolutely nothing to lose by avoiding it. Also a real sign of confidence from Haley that she still has a chance in New Hampshire which, if you believe some polls but not others she definitely does… provided her third place finish in Iowa doesn’t sap whatever “momentum” she may or may not have going into the Granite State’s primary next week.
On that note, American Research Group just put out a poll finding Trump and Haley tied at 40 percent each in New Hampshire, the first from any pollster with the two of them even. The problem for Haley however is that it was sampled before Monday and also found Vivek Ramaswamy at 4 percent, all of which would almost certainly go to Trump. Another 9 percent were still undecided.
