iowa last night. he is, effectively, and incumbent. the incumbent president barely can get 50% of his own base voters? i don t know. i think that s a huge opportunity for america saying, let s move forward with something new. kristen holmes is in atkinson, new hampshire. we are waiting on donald trump to speak. what do we expect to hear following his big victory in iowa? reporter: we are likely to hear him attacking nikki haley. we ve talked a lot about the fact that nikki haley keeps saying this is a two person race, despite the fact she came in third in iowa, but when it comes to new hampshire, donald trump s team does see this as a two person race. it s not the entire primary, but this state, in particular. florida governor ron desantis does not have a ground game here, but trumps advisers have been watching closely as nikki haley s poll numbers have risen. this is a completely different electorate here, and they are aware of that, so expect new attacks on the former
i don t need to go out and caucus. this is something donald trump has said time and time again, telling his supporters, pretend that we are losing by a point, that we are not winning in the polls. he wants people to actually show up. now, part of that is also because they want to set the tone for the primary season. they want a definitive win here that would curb any momentum that any candidates are having. that s their big goal. one of the things we talked about, they are really trying to bring out first time caucus goers. whether or not this weather stops people who have never caucused before, that s going to be something interesting to watch. and what about after iowa is the former president already looking to new hampshire? his team is certainly looking to new hampshire. they are spending a combined between the super pac and the campaign, $4.5 million right now on the air waves, attacking nikki haley on immigration. that is not any kind of coincidence. they are seeing her rise
christie announced he was ending his presidential ambitions, he also said, he was unwilling to say that the former president, anyone who is unwilling to say that the former president is unfit to be president s, and i m quoting chris christie now, unfit themselves. haley and desantis, both aston i d, if the former president has the character to hold that office, and neither answer the question directly. governor desantis did mention trump not fulfilling campaign promises, and give a similar reply when anderson just asked him that question again a few moments ago. haley responded by saying, quote, his way is not my way. joining me now is republican governor of new hampshire, chris sununu, who has endorsed nikki haley. i should note, governor, thank you, why do you think both of the candidates onstage tonight were unable to answer that question with a yes or no i m? i don t think it is that
will go where the political wind blows, and they re fine with that. if you are and nikki haley, or a ron desantis, it gets harder to be in this sanctimonious place, and say, well, he isn t pure enough on this issue. the voters have basically said, that s his authenticity. this is a very real issue for these candidates. they cannot undermine the flip-flopping, which voters see is authenticity. transactional-ism has become authenticity for him. a lot of voters are cynical about politicians anyway, and they like the trump admits to transactionalist, where they don t think the other politicians will admit it, and that is where he scored s on, the authenticity. he will tell you on the truth, even if it makes him look like a flip-flop or on something. we are going to take a short break, but just ahead, we touched on this a moment ago, more on what chris christie s decision for ending his presidential campaign means for this race.
