Top story of the day and really the week the news for GOP voters. They are waking up to a smaller field of candidates who got Florida Governor Ron Desantis suspending his presidential bid on Sunday saying in a clear path to victory Desantis is now endorsing President Trump. Speaking to voters on Sunday,
Nikki Haley said Desantis ran a great race, but there’s the quote, one fella and one lady left.
A lot of people are trying to figure out where that’s going to go. Marquee. I have to start off. Detroit Lions and then come to the Detroit here on staff without me, at least giving 1 go-live start off there. The Haley campaign. They had a ton of events.
This weekend. And when they found out that Ron Desantis had actually dropped out of the race. that’s her campaign to celebrate, right. The field narrowing it is now a 2 person she can focus her attention solely on Donald Trump now frankly here in the granite state.
She was doing that anyway. People are largely written off Ron Desantis because his polling numbers were so low. But an interesting thing happened this weekend and that was a lot of her supporters have been asking for some time why she was going so aggressively at Ron Desantis and vice versa.
But both of them appeared to be using sort of kid gloves in their attacks against Trump. Will that really change this weekend.
Nikki Haley went more directly at the former president. She questioned his mental sickness at multiple events this weekend highlighting gaffes and mental stumbles.
Trump appeared to confuse Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi 3 or 4 times in a speech this weekend and Haley made that a focal point of her speech questioning whether can he was mentally fit. She also dictators things Democrats have said and Chris Christie has said, but we haven’t heard those things from Nikki Haley until this weekend.
She also is now making the case in a 2 personal race here now and that she’s the more stable candidate.
“To chaos 4 more years of chaos” We will survive. A quick look here at the polling.
you can see there is a lot of momentum and enthusiasm at those Haley events. But the polls are what they are still down. Double digits to former president Trump.
The polls are accurate hold
- she’s got a lot of ground to make up in these last 24 hours it looked like last night Haley supporters, and these New Hampshire voters are very smart. They were doing the math trying to figure out how much of the 6% of Ron Desantis’s share goes to Haley.
How much goes to Trump. Conventional wisdom says those are trump supporters.
