At a stop in Hollis, Haley took several questions from voters and continued that trend with the media afterward. NBC10 Boston asked her about DeSantis leaving New Hampshire to campaign in her home state of South Carolina.
“He’s closer to zero than he is to me! He’s invisible in New Hampshire, he’s invisible in South Carolina, we’re focused on Trump. That’s the key,” said Haley, “We were focused on DeSantis in Iowa, we’re no longer focused on him, it’s Trump in New Hampshire and Trump in South Carolina.
Haley has also chosen to skip two debates this week in the Granite State, resulting in the cancellation of both events.
“You’re asking the wrong person, it’s Donald Trump that needs to get on the stage, the second he says he’s on the stage I’m ready,” said Haley.
The New Hampshire primary is scheduled for Tuesday, January 23, with South Carolina next among the early voting states.
