Will Donald Trump kill the suspense and fold the nomination? While the former president’s adversaries have one by one thrown in the towel, with the abandonment of Ron DeSantis this weekend, Nikki Haley finally holds the duel she demanded. Except that the polls give Donald Trump an 18-point lead. And if Haley doesn’t manage to do better than that and finish 5-9 points behind his rival in an ultra-moderate state where independents can vote, it will be game over. As Republican consultant Barrett Marson told 20 Minutes: “In a duel, the second place is also known as the last place” Haley needs a spark to reignite the suspense and survive another month until the vote in South Carolina, at the end of February, a state of which she was governor but where Donald Trump is in the lead.
Trump can win the nomination against Haley in New Hampshire… Results from 1 a.m….
9:05 p.m.: Here we go for a perhaps decisive evening!
