00:00 In a crucial final push before Tuesday, January 23rd's nominating contest, former South Carolina
00:09 Governor Nikki Haley was gearing up to campaign across New Hampshire this weekend, intensifying
00:16 her efforts against Republican rival Donald Trump.
00:19 The former US President in turn escalated verbal attacks and once again targeted Haley's
00:25 Indian heritage, having previously served as the US Ambassador to the United Nations
00:30 under Trump.
00:31 Haley is now retaliating against her former boss, aiming to disrupt his momentum following
00:37 the Iowa cacuses victory.
00:39 Her goal is to position herself as the primary alternative to face Democratic President Joe
00:45 Biden in the upcoming November general election.
00:48 As New Hampshire takes the spotlight, it presents a different landscape for Republicanism, with
00:54 a more moderate brand and a semi-open primary that appeals to centrist voters.
01:00 This dynamic becomes crucial for Nikki Haley, one of the two remaining candidates challenging
01:05 Donald Trump for the Republican nomination.
01:08 In contrast to Trump's polarizing image, Haley aims to draw support from those who may be
01:14 disjointed by the former President's legal challenges, authoritative rhetoric and attempts
01:20 to overturn his 2020 re-election loss.
01:23 Coming off a third place finish in Iowa, where Trump emerged victorious, Haley is strategically
01:29 positioning herself to secure a strong showing and emerge as a compelling alternative to
01:35 face Democratic President Joe Biden in the upcoming general elections.
01:40 As the second Republican contest unfolds, Nikki Haley faces a critical juncture that
01:45 could either bolster her standing as a viable alternative to Trump or potentially narrow
01:50 her path to the nomination even before reaching South Carolina's contest next month.
01:56 In a strategic move, Haley is set to transverse independent leaning New Hampshire, with three
02:02 steps planned ahead of a rally on Saturday and four additional events on Sunday and Monday.
02:09 Meanwhile, Trump is making his presence felt with evening rallies throughout the weekend,
02:14 setting the stage for a closely watched battle in this pivotal phase of the Republican nomination
02:20 race.
02:21 In a last-minute shift, Ron DeSantis, initially downplaying New Hampshire, made a brief stop
02:27 on Friday, January 19 before focusing on three events in South Carolina on Saturday.
02:33 Meanwhile, Nikki Haley, in her final campaign tour through New Hampshire, sharpened criticisms
02:39 against Trump while also targeting Biden.
02:42 During a CNN interview, she stated that she would pardon Trump if convicted on criminal
02:48 charges.
02:49 However, on Friday, she ruled out being Trump's vice president running mate, responding to
02:54 continued attacks from the former president, who has amplified false claims about her citizenship.
03:01 Born as Nimrata Nikki Randhawa Haley, the daughter of Indian immigrants, has long used
03:07 her middle name, Nikki, and adopted her husband's surname.
