Trump Criticizes Nikki Haley's Premature Victory Speech at New Hampshire GOP Primary
Former President Trump took the stage at a rally in Nashua, New Hampshire, expressing gratitude for his victory in the state's Republican primary. However, his tone quickly turned critical as he addressed Nikki Haley's premature victory speech following her second-place finish.
Trump began by acknowledging the significance of New Hampshire, a state he has won three times, emphasizing its importance to him and his political journey. He recounted the 2016 win by 21 points and praised the state's role in securing victories in both primaries and general elections.
The former president then shifted focus to the recent primary results and Nikki Haley's actions on stage. He described her as running up to the stage when he was leading by 7 points and expressing surprise at her seemingly premature celebration. Trump emphasized the need for party unity and criticized Haley for acting as if she had won despite her second-place finish.
Recalling a similar incident in Iowa, Trump accused Haley of pretending to win and highlighted discrepancies in her claims about electability polls. He asserted that she doesn't win those polls and urged caution against someone taking a victory when they had a "very bad night."
Trump also took aim at the state's governor, criticizing his energy levels and referencing past statements about winning the primary. He questioned the governor's predictions, contrasting them with the actual results that showed Trump leading by 14 points.
The former president accused Haley of taking a victory lap despite a poor performance, pointing out that she only garnered 25% of Republican votes. Trump attributed the high number of independents participating in the primary to a flawed system that allows Democrats to vote.
In typical Trump fashion, the speech was a mix of gratitude for victory, criticism of opponents, and a call for party loyalty. The former president reiterated his commitment to ensuring a fair representation of the election results and expressed his determination to prevent any misrepresentation of his previous wins in 2016 and 2020.
