Pressure is mounting for Nikki Haley to exit the GOP presidential primary, as polling and experts suggest her path to the nomination is increasingly challenging, especially after Ron DeSantis’ departure and endorsement of Donald Trump.

Trump’s significant lead in most states, including New Hampshire, underscores the obstacles facing Haley.

Analysts predict her inevitable resignation, emphasizing the pivotal nature of her upcoming performance.

“Without a monumental shift in the race, he [Trump] will secure the nomination in short order,” political analyst Nate Cohn said.

“Anything short of a victory or narrow defeat would put pressure on her to drop out rather than face three weeks of punishing ads from the Trump campaign in her home state, where she is already behind,” Lisa Lerer, Jazmine Ulloa, and Michael C. Bender wrote.

“Haley’s performance on Tuesday is likely to determine the future of her campaign — and possibly her political career.”

“I know the political class is saying everybody needs to get behind Trump,” Haley said. “This is not a coronation,” she added.

“We haven’t started with this [New Hampshire] election yet. We don’t do coronation. It’s about giving people options.”

Despite resistance, doubts persist about the momentum of her campaign, with concerns raised about her ability to engage voters effectively, particularly in comparison to Trump’s solid support.

“Too little, too late,” Haley backer Fergus Cullen said. “She had to inspire and engage unaffiliated voters, and I just haven’t seen her doing what she needs to do to reach that audience and turn them out in the numbers that she needs.”
