Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and former Governor of South Carolina Nikki Haley is spending a lot of time in New Hampshire as she continues her longshot run to top the 2024 Republican presidential ticket.
Local online news site NH Journal is following Haley on the campaign trail and reporting her soundbites on issues including immigration (“repair legal immigration and base it on merit, not quotas”) and anti-Semitism (“colleges who don’t keep Jewish students safe, promote violent antisemitic rhetoric should lose their federal tax status”), among others.

SUNUNU: “I’m getting there!”@nhgop #nhpolitics #FITN
The NH Journal reports that before Haley fielded questions from the crowd, she started off with a question for Sununu: “Are you ready to endorse me yet?” Sununu replied: “I’m getting there!”
Note: On March 5, 2023, Governor Sununu said: “If the election were today, Ron DeSantis would win in New Hampshire. There’s no doubt about that in my mind.” Sununu added, “We want the next generation. The next big idea. And that’s what we’re gonna deliver.”
Last week, Sununu spent time with DeSantis on his New Hampshire campaign trail, too. It was the first time Sununu spent an entire day with a candidate in the Granite State. When asked if that was signal of endorsement, Sununu said: “The race is wide open.” He then asserted that the most important thing for Republicans is to win the presidency “and Donald Trump can’t do it.”
