Donald Trump and Nikki Haley Ramp Up Attacks As New Hampshire Primary Looms

Donald Trump and Nikki Haley have ramped up their attacks on each other ahead of Tuesday's New Hampshire primary.

Haley, a former U.N. ambassador and former South Carolina governor, was narrowly beaten to second place by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in Iowa. But she is hoping that her appeal with independent and unaffiliated voters will propel her to a strong enough finish in New Hampshire to establish herself as the main alternative to Trump, the front-runner in the race.

While campaigning in New Hampshire on Saturday, she questioned whether Trump is mentally capable of serving a second term. It came a day after the former president repeatedly appeared to confuse Haley with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during a campaign speech.

At one event, Haley said that Trump had been having a "temper tantrum" about her when he mistakenly said that she was in charge of security at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, when a mob of Trump supporters stormed the building in a bid to stop the certification of President Joe Biden's 2020 election victory.
