What does this mean for Nikki Haley?: She didn't have the best night, but she got what she needed from Iowa. She lost the race for second place in Iowa, but New Hampshire is closer to her ideals. Shortly after leaving the Iowa stage, she moved to a New Hampshire-based television station. photograph
From Haley — Well, that's not the phrasing I would have chosen if I had come in third place.: “Tonight, I can say with certainty that Iowa has made this Republican primary a two-person election,” Haley said. said in her statement. Haley is referring to her polling lead over DeSantis in New Hampshire.
What does this mean for Donald Trump?: Trump was all smiles during his victory speech on Monday, but his tone was much softer than his usual speeches. Monday's victory seems especially meaningful because Trump has suffered a series of defeats in recent years, lost the 2020 election, has 91 felony charges pending, and is even in court today. It seemed to me.
From Trump — he praised his rival.: President Trump said Haley and DeSantis had “both done a very good job” and that they were “having a great time together.” President Trump also called for “all of us to come together.”
What does this mean for Ron DeSantis?: DeSantis' second-place finish saved his campaign. If he had placed third behind Haley in Iowa and was now headed to New Hampshire, he would likely have placed a distant third and the pressure to withdraw would have been intense.
From DeSantis — you'd think he won everything. : “The media was against us and wrote our obituary months ago. They called an election before people even had a chance to vote,” DeSantis said. Mr. announced to supporters. “[But] Despite everything they threw at us, everyone against us, we got ticketed out of Iowa State. ”
