Nikki Haley Brushes Off Trump's Criticism, Claims He's in Trouble
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley responds to Donald Trump's criticism and shifts in the GOP primary race.
Nikki Haley's Response to Trump's Criticism
Recent polls have shown Haley gaining momentum in the GOP primary race, which has led Trump to shift his attacks from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to the former South Carolina governor.
A recent CNN poll found her knocking Trump's lead in next week's Granite State's primary to single digits.
Haley picked up an endorsement of her own earlier Sunday - from former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan. Asked if she welcomed his backing, she said, 'Look, if anybody wants to, we'll take it, but it's not something I seek, it's not something I fight for.'
Trump's Criticism and Haley's Momentum
Recent polls have shown Haley gaining momentum in the GOP primary race, which has led Trump - who maintains a commanding lead in Iowa and national polls - to shift his attacks from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to the former South Carolina governor.
The final Des Moines Register/NBC News/Mediacom poll released Saturday night found 48% of likely caucusgoers say Trump would be their first choice, 20% name Haley, and 16% DeSantis, with the rest of the field below 10%. Haley's best shot at taking on the former president, however, may be in New Hampshire. A recent CNN poll found her knocking Trump's lead in next week's Granite State's primary to single digits.
