‘Mini-Soros’ Reid Hoffman Pulls Out of Nikki Haley After New Hampshire.

Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn and Democrat megadonor, is suspending his financial support for Nimarata’ Nikki’ Haley’s presidential primary campaign following her defeat to Donald Trump in New Hampshire. In December of last year, Hoffman said that while he is a Joe Biden supporter, he believed Haley had the best chance of defeating former President Donald Trump in the Republican primary.

The news that Hoffman — who visited child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, Little St. James — has frozen his financial support may signal the beginning of an exodus of major donors from the Haley campaign. On Tuesday, Haley — the former Governor of South Carolina — was soundly defeated by Trump in the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary by a 12 percent margin. Trump wracked up over 166,000 votes, the most ever received by a Republican primary candidate in the Granite State. Haley was primarily reliant on non-Republican voters to boost her showing.

While the tech billionaire has primarily funded Democrat candidates — including President Joe Biden’s campaign — he contributed at least $250,000 to a pro-Haley SuperPAC late last year. “If America is to avoid another Trump presidency, it will be because Trump loses an election next year. If he is to lose, it will either be to Nikki Haley in the primary, or Joe Biden in the general,” Hoffman said at the time, justifying his contribution to the Haley campaign.

An avowed partisan liberal and globalist, Hoffman has funded several efforts attempting to derail former President Trump’s return to the White House in 2024. The tech billionaire was revealed as the financier of E. Jean Carroll’s rape and defamation lawsuit against Trump in New York last year. In a post on Truth Social, Trump referred to the physically rotund LinkedIn founder as “Piglet Reid Hoffman.”

DeSantis Predicted Low Turnout & Lib Dominance in NH… He Was Wrong, Again.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis predicted a low turnout in New Hampshire during what has become a typically bitter media outing on Tuesday, this time on the Steve Deace Show. In reality, President Trump broke records in the Granite State, with DeSantis’s political acumen now under further scrutiny for his bizarre and misguided forecasts.

In his first, soft-ball interview since dropping out of the Republican presidential nomination contest, DeSantis said he believed Republican turnout would fall short of expectations in New Hampshire. He argued that his low turnout prediction is indicative of a greater enthusiasm problem inside the GOP.

“They were conservative, but they did not want to see Trump nominated again, but they had basically been told that it was inevitable, that it was over, so why even bother?” DeSantis told ‘NeverTrumper’ host Deace, arguing apathy caused lower turnout in Iowa. In reality, the sub-zero degree windchill and winter storms depressed turnout in the Hawkeye State. The Florida Governor then predicted New Hampshire would see a similar drop in voter turnout; DeSantis added: “Trump’s going to win… But what’s the overall turnout?”

In fact, the New Hampshire Republican primary saw a record-breaking turnout. Former President Donald Trump handily defeated Nimarata’ Nikki’ Haley by around 12 points. As of early Wednesday morning, the New Hampshire Secretary of State confirmed more than 300,000 voters participated in the Republican primary contest. The previous turnout record was set in 2016, with just over 287,000 voters casting a ballot.

Trump is the only non-incumbent Republican to win both the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary in a single election cycle. The former Republican President outperformed his 2016 primary margins in nearly every New Hampshire locality — winning many by double digits. Pushing past 166,000 total votes, Trump secured the most ballots any Republican has ever received in the New Hampshire primary contest.

Dem PAC Drops $1M on Chinese TikTok App ‘Influencers’ to Aid Biden.

Priorities USA, a Democrat-aligned SuperPAC supporting Joe Biden’s presidential re-election campaign, is dropping $1 million on social media influencers to increase the 81-year-old President’s standing among youth voters. The SuperPAC is pushing content creators and influencers to post on Instagram and the Chinese-owned TikTok app to shore up support among Zoomer and younger Millennial voters. Recent polling shows the Biden campaign has seen a collapse of support among the 18 to 34 age demographic.

Social media influencers whose usual content has focused on everything from skincare routines to cooking demonstrations to luxury travel have begun adding new, more political content. Priorities USA is paying these influencers to encourage thousands of followers to register to vote and support progressive candidates. The Democrat SuperPAC has pledged $1 million to the effort and claims they’ve recruited 150 social media influencers to push pro-Biden messaging.

Young voters in critical swing states have increasingly soured on Biden’s candidacy. Concerns over the octogenarian Democrat’s age, mental competence, and his government’s support for Israel’s war in Gaza have caused an erosion in support among the critical Democrat youth demographic. In 2022, other Democrat SuperPACs used paid social media influencers to push the youth vote with mixed results.

Additionally, the Biden campaign’s embrace of TikTok raises national security questions. Many state and local governments have banned using TikTok on work computers and smartphones. National security officials have warned the app has potential intelligence-gathering uses for the Chinese Communist Party. TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, spent over $7 million in 2023 to influence U.S. lawmakers to oppose efforts to ban the app entirely.

“We look forward to working with TikTok throughout the cycle,” Jack Doyle, a spokesman for Priorities USA said when asked about the SuperPAC’s influencer campaign.

70% Haley Voters in New Hampshire Not Registered Republicans.

New Hampshire exit polling revealed that a significant percentage of voters who participated in the Republican primary in the Granite State were not Republicans, with the vast majority of non-Republican voters voting for Nikki ‘Nimarata’ Haley.

CNN exit polling found that approximately 70 percent of voters who supported Haley were not registered Republicans. Comparatively, 70 percent of voters for former President Donald Trump, who secured victory in the primary race after a record-setting win in the Iowa caucuses, were registered Republicans.

According to the same exit poll, 27 percent of Trump’s voters were registered as undeclared or independent, with only 3 percent unregistered before the vote. Only 27 percent of Haley’s voters were registered as Republicans.

NBC exit polling showed similar results, with Haley winning 60 percent of New Hampshire voters identifying as independent and 73 percent of those identifying as moderates.

Exit polling conducted by Edison Research found that just over half — 51 percent — of those who participated in the Republican primary in New Hampshire identified as Republicans — a 55 percent drop from 2016. Forty-three percent of those who participated in Tuesday’s primary identified as independents.

Gingrich: Trump is Next POTUS, ‘Get Over It.’

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich says he believes the Republican presidential primary is already over, with former President Donald Trump being the presumptive nominee. The Republican leader, writing for the U.K. newspaper The Telegraph, argues Trump’s back-to-back historic wins in Iowa and New Hampshire seal the deal in the nomination contest.

“The reality is that President Trump is going to be the Republican nominee. He leads in every state for the nomination, “Gingrich writes, before continuing: “He has the only nationwide organization that can mobilize in all 50 states. He is ahead nationally among Republicans with 63.1 percent of the vote. Elected Republicans are beginning to rush to endorse him.”

Gingrich goes on to warn that “Never-Trump Republicans and Trump-hating elite media won’t go down without a fight.” Instead, he argues, they will try to build Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley up as an alternative to Trump, hoping they can make her “a big enough star that she can carry her home state of South Carolina.”

Trump holds a commanding lead in recent polls of South Carolina primary voters. The former Speaker notes: “South Carolina is one of Trump’s strongest states and the Republican establishment in South Carolina deeply dislikes Haley. She is currently trailing Trump in the polls by a 30-point margin.”

“President Trump is the leader of a national movement,” he writes: “Leaders have a much deeper claim on the loyalty and affection of their supporters than mere candidates have.”

“Trump will be the Republican nominee — and from my view, he already is,” Gingrich concludes.

His Truth Is Marching On: Trump Emerges Victorious in New Hampshire.

Former President Donald Trump has won the New Hampshire primary, following up his victory just last week in the Iowa Republican Caucus. All eyes are now on Trump’s primary opponent, Nimarata’ Nikki’ Haley, and whether the former South Carolina governor will continue her long-shot bid for the Republican nomination.

On Sunday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis dropped out of the Republican presidential primary contest, endorsing former President Trump for the nomination. The Trump campaign is expected to receive additional support from DeSantis voters in the upcoming primary states heading into Super Tuesday on March 5th.

Calls for Republicans to unify behind former President Trump and for Haley to end her primary challenge will likely intensify with Trump scoring his second convincing primary victory in just over a week. Trump has ruled out selecting Haley as his Vice-President.

Up next on the primary calendar is the Nevada primary and caucus. The Nevada primary will be held on February 6th — though no convention delegates are awarded. The Republican party-administered caucus will be held on February 8th, with the convention delegates up for grabs. Nimrata’ Nikki’ Haley is in the primary, while former President Trump is in the caucus.

After Nevada, the South Carolina primary is next on February 24th.

NH AG Investigates Fake Biden Robocalls.

The New Hampshire Attorney General’s office announced it is investigating robocalls that reportedly use artificial intelligence to emulate Joe Biden’s voice. The calls, delivered on Sunday, discourage voters from participating in Tuesday’s primary elections. Attorney General John Formella stated that the messages appeared to be an illegal attempt to disrupt and suppress votes.

“Voting this Tuesday only enables the Republicans in their quest to elect Donald Trump again,” the robocall says in Biden’s voice. “Your vote makes a difference in November, not this Tuesday.”

The calls seemed to originate from the personal cellphone number of Kathy Sullivan, a former state Democratic chair. Sullivan currently serves as treasurer for Granite for America, a pro-Biden super PAC. Sullivan informed law enforcement of the calls and lodged a complaint with the attorney general.

“This call links back to my personal cell phone number without my permission,” Sullivan said in a statement. “It is outright election interference, and clearly an attempt to harass me and other New Hampshire voters who are planning to write-in Joe Biden on Tuesday.”

The identity of the source behind the fabricated calls has not yet been discovered.

Biden is not on the Democratic ballot in New Hampshire. However, former President Donald Trump is on the state’s Republican ballot. He is expected to win the primary there by a large margin.

Poll Shows 0% of NH Haley Supporters Think She Is ‘Best to Beat Biden’, Just Want to ‘Stop Trump’.

A poll of Donald Trump and Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley supporters in New Hampshire reveals that Trump supporters are backing the 45th President because of his record and stances on issues like immigration. The same data reveals that Haley is primarily backed only as a vehicle to “stop” Trump. While Haley has argued she is the candidate best placed to defeat Joe Biden, no poll respondents gave this as their reason for supporting her.

The poll of primary voters in the Granite State by J.L. Partners found Haley supporters are motivated mainly by anti-Trump sentiment, with 54 percent backing the former United Nations ambassador “to stop Trump.” Fifteen percent said they believe she is “more moderate,” but only three percent said she “has good policies.” Just one percent said she would “make a difference.”

The share of Haley supporters who said she was “best to beat Biden” was zero percent.

Trump supporters cited more positive reasons for backing their preferred candidate. Thirty-four percent cited his “strong record” in the White House, while 14 percent said they support him because they believe he would “save the country,” and 11 percent praised his “strong leadership skills.”

“He has proven he can run our country as a leader should,” said one poll respondent. Contrary to efforts to paint Trump supporters as “cultists,” he added he did not like the former president “personally” but “agreed with his policies and how the United States was a strong force in the world and not viewed as weak” under his stewardship.

DeSantis Heckles Trump, Says He’d Veto Plan to Protect 45th President from Lawfare.

Just one day after suspending his primary campaign and endorsing former President Donald Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took to X (formerly Twitter) to boast that he would veto any attempts to help defer the legal costs of the 45th President’s state persecution. Currently, Trump’s legal costs are covered by himself personally and fundraising efforts. Meanwhile, the U.S. government uses the public purse to fund its prosecution of Trump.

An initiative to help Trump, meaning more of his cash-on-hand could be spent fighting the November 2024 election, was launched by Florida State Sen. Ileana Garcia. Garcia argued supporting Trump as a Floridian and presidential candidate would be beneficial for both the state and the nation, especially given how much revenue Trump brings to the Sunshine State with his golf courses, residences, and Mar A Lago Club.

DeSantis, however, disagreed, taking to X last night to announce his opposition. As a result, Garcia announced she would withdraw the bill.

Trump is embroiled in four distinct legal struggles on both federal and state levels. These include state charges in New York related to alleged ‘hush money’ payments, federal allegations over improper handling and retention of classified documents, and two indictments related to his efforts to dispute the establishment’s 2020 election claims.

New Hampshire Primary: How Does it Work, and What Comes Next?

The New Hampshire Republican presidential primary is set to kick off today — but the first-in-the-nation state has a few features that make it unique. Polling suggests former President Donald Trump should win the primary comfortably. Still, the high number of independents expected to vote could complicate matters and give some hope to the Haley campaign.

The National Pulse has compiled a few quick facts to help explain what to expect as the people of New Hampshire head the polls.

Some Votes Were Already Cast At Midnight.

A handful of localities began voting at midnight. New Hampshire law stipulates polling places — at a minimum — must be open from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. ET. However, some smaller localities open their polling places at midnight — and with only a handful of residents, they can often report results shortly after.

Dixville Notch is the most famous of these midnight-voting towns. From 1968 to 2012, the town’s handful of voters backed the candidate who would eventually win the nomination in every Republican presidential primary. However, in 2016, Dixville Notch voted 3 to 2 for John Kasich over Donald Trump — breaking the streak. This morning, it voted 100 percent for Nikki Haley, having voted 100 percent for Joe Biden in 2016.

What Is At Stake?

Despite only awarding 22 delegates — less than one percent of the total who choose the nominee at the Republican National Convention later this year — New Hampshire’s position as the second state to vote in the Republican primary makes it critical to candidate momentum. To that end, the state has seen $77.5 million spent on campaign advertising since the start of last year.

Former South Carolina Governor Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley’s campaign has dropped $30.9 million in the state. The Trump campaign has spent just shy of $16 million. Meanwhile, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s SuperPAC spent $8 million before DeSantis dropped out of the race on Sunday and endorsed former President Donald Trump.

Where After New Hampshire?

Nevada’s primary and caucus both follow the New Hampshire primary. Democrats in control of the Nevada state legislature attempted to enact a state-run primary of Democrats and Republicans. However, the Nevada Republican Party opted for a party-run caucus instead.

The Nevada primary will be held on February 6th — though no convention delegates are awarded. The Republican party-administered caucus will be held on February 8th, with the convention delegates up for grabs. Nimrata ‘Nikki’ Haley is in the primary, while former President Trump is in the caucus.

While polling has been scant, some expect that “none of these candidates” may receive more votes than Haley in the primary. Trump is widely expected to win the caucus and most, if not all, of the state’s delegates.

After Nevada, South Carolina is next on February 24th. There is speculation that Haley will stay in the race through South Carolina — hoping to regain momentum in her home state. However, polling shows former President Donald Trump with a commanding lead in the state primary and is widely expected to win most of South Carolina’s convention delegates.
