Haley, who previously served as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, has been campaigning in New Hampshire for nearly a year, adopting a direct approach with voters.
"We've been here for 11 months now campaigning, doing it the New Hampshire way, making sure that we answer every question, touch every hand, and be the last person to leave," Haley stated. She further emphasized her commitment to the campaign, saying, "We're going to book it this entire week to continue doing what we've done for 11 months, and it's paid off. We're a stone's throw away from Trump, and it's why I think we're going to be even stronger in New Hampshire."
As the Republican presidential primary in New Hampshire approaches on January 23, Haley and her Republican competitors are intensifying their efforts in the state. A CBS News poll conducted in December revealed that Haley is the leading alternative to former President Donald Trump among likely GOP primary voters in New Hampshire, with 29% supporting Haley compared to Trump's 44%.

Haley, who finished closely behind Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the Iowa caucuses, remains optimistic about her campaign. "It's a marathon. It's not a sprint and we're taking it one step at a time," she said. "Iowa was very good to us, but we are super excited to be here in New Hampshire and go ahead and make this even stronger."

She expressed her ambition to succeed Trump, saying, "We want to move forward so that he's no longer a part of the conversation, that we leave the chaos of the past and we move forward with the solutions of the future."

In a social media announcement, Haley declared that she would not participate in any future debates unless they are against Trump or Biden. "We've had five great debates in this campaign. Unfortunately, Donald Trump has ducked all of them. He has nowhere left to hide. The next debate I do will either be with Donald Trump or with Joe Biden. I look forward to it," Haley posted on X, the website formerly known as Twitter.
