Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley flicked my wrist An idea that former Gov. Christ Christie (R-N.J.) championed on the eve of the New Hampshire primary.
“At the end of the day, we don't want all the support of politicians,” Haley said. Said Christie Friday's far-left News Nation. “That's part of the problem. You need someone to actually move the ball.”
Haley added that she has “plenty” of campaign funds to remain in the race. She added that Christie's support was “not needed.”
The former South Carolina governor said, “My donors complimented me and saw that I was very frugal with my money, because that's how I spend my taxes, my personal money, my campaign funds.” he said.

“President Trump is hitting me like a drum, but at the end of the day, I'm excited about it because it means we're doing the right thing,” Haley said. He added that he refuses to “hate” the former president.
Haley is probably still wise to the comments Christie made a while back, as long as she dismisses the idea of a Christie endorsement in New Hampshire, the only state where a Christie endorsement could bring her any benefit. . rear He defended her in a debate, but it didn't last long. in front He left — all in an apparent move to strengthen Haley's camp against Donald.
As my colleague Wendell Husebo reported at the time, the exchange was captured on a hot mic.
“[Haley] We've spent $68 million so far on television alone,” Christie said. “DeSantis spent $59 million, and we spent $12.” [million]. In other words, who is punching above their weight and who is getting a return on their investment? ”
“She's going to go up in smoke,” Christie added. “You and I both know she doesn't mean it.”
“She's still 20 points behind Trump in New Hampshire, right?” Wayne asked Christie.
“Yeah. Oh, yeah,” Christy replied.
Much has been made about Christie's “smoking” comment, but her rant, “She didn't mean it,” went even deeper.
And as if to prove she couldn't stand it, Haley gave her a much-needed boost in the primary that will determine whether her campaign has anything close to winning. It casts a shadow on the one supporter who might be able to support him, the one (former) presidential candidate. future.
According to polls, Ms. Haley benefited from Ms. Christie's withdrawal from the race on January 10. Since then, Haley's approval ratings have continued to rise in RealClearPolitics' average New Hampshire poll. jumped off From 29% to 37%. But that didn't help much against front-runner Trump, whose approval rating jumped from 43% to 54%. Before Christie dropped out, Haley trailed Trump by 14 points. She currently leads by 17.5 points, and Trump's lead continues to widen.
New Hampshire's only Follow-up survey, Trump has distanced himself from Haley. As of Monday, he had a 19-point lead over second-place Haley at 57-38 percent. It's anyone's guess how Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Florida)'s resignation on Sunday and his endorsement of Trump will affect the race. The latest opinion poll showed his approval rating at 6%.
