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