What to Watch For in Tuesday's New Hampshire Primary
Summary from the AllSides News Team
Ahead of the 2024 New Hampshire presidential primary, sources across the political spectrum covered the last full days of campaigning.
Key Details: Former Ambassador Nikki Haley is projecting confidence after Gov. Ron DeSantis dropped out of the race, while former President Donald Trump attacks Haley for accepting money from Democrats. Meanwhile, Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) is campaigning to get the attention of voters in New Hampshire, where President Joe Biden will not be on the ballot.
