In the stay compared to haley s 32%. the rest of the field lagging far behind. chris christie at 12%, vivek ramaswamy at 8%, ron desantis at 5%. new hampshire s primary two weeks from today, the iowa caucus is six days away only. that will be the first time voters get their say on the 2024 election. last night in des moines, iowa, haley refuted trump s claim that she, quote, betrayed him by running for president. listen. i will tell you when i said that i would never run against him, we hadn t had the debacle in afghanistan. we hadn t had inflation go through the roof, and we didn t lose the midterms by ridiculous numbers. when i decided to run, i called him. i wanted him to know i was in it to win it and i told him then we needed a new generational leader. i told him then we needed to leave the negativity and the b baggage behind. as haley was speaking, trump s campaign was blasting out press releases, used to be directed by ron desantis.
It is quite sweet and thoughtful of him. the former president pushed to make any criminal charges against him disappear. a u.s. federal appeals court will hold a hearing today on whether donald trump has immunity in the federal election subversion case. it is a question about does donald trump have to stand trial. the problem for donald trump, though, is the facts. united airlines discovered loose bolts on an undisclosed number of their boeing 737 max-9 planes. there s no fundamental design flaw here. it appears they might have miss add step. the cockpit door is designed to open during rapid decompression. no one of the flight crew was aware of that. we have a lot of questions for boeing. how in the heck did this happen. good morning, everyone. it s the top of the hour. i m phil mattingly with poppy harlow in new york. it is a day of enormous consequence. donald trump will be in court as three judges in d.c. consider a
New hampshire can participate in the republican primary, she s at 43% support among those independents. he s at 17% support. you also see chris christie doing quite well among independents. trump s in third place there. this is critical because when you think about the battle for the nomination, you have to look for places if you re nikki haley where independents can actually participate in the process because where it s just a closed primary to republicans only, trump is still dominating that universe. david, i think to underscore one of your earlier points, trump supporters locked in in terms of people that have decided when you look through this poll. haley s less so, but the growth has been real. what does that tell you about things? yeah, so according to our brand new survey, phil, 80% of trump supporters say they are fully committed to donald trump. they re not moving. their mind is made up. that is true of 54% of haley s supporters and 45% of everyone else. that shows me the
