New Hampshire will answer the question of whether the Republican primaries have ended prematurely and Donald Trump will once once more be nominated as the party’s presidential candidate. These elections, which will be held on Tuesday, have historically been much more important than the Iowa caucus, which presented the former Republican president as a wide favorite among conservative voters last Monday. After their lopsided victory, some began to suggest that the fight was over.
In New Hampshire, however, the campaigns are revived. Let Trump himself say it, who by defeating Ted Cruz on this battlefield in 2016, following losing Iowa to him, began his overwhelming path to victory. The nicknamed “granite state” has also been an expert in catapulting difficult campaigns, such as that of Bill Clinton in 1992, who was nicknamed “the comeback boy” due to his good results in the state. New Hampshire has also extended the competition by months. Bernie Sanders’ victories back in 2016 and 2020 caused the duel on the Democratic side to last until June. The same thing happened in 2008, when Hillary Clinton, winning New Hampshire, prevented Barack Obama from achieving an early victory.

This record is positive for Trump’s remaining rivals. Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida, might still spring a surprise due to the unimaginable results offered by the state, although the numbers from the latest polls make this miracle seem almost impossible. For this reason, all eyes are on Nikki Haley, former ambassador to the UN, who is just 10 points behind Trump in the polls. She might get second place here, or even first. A positive result for Haley would force the extension of the race, which does not favor Trump and his judicial calendar. The former president needs to win as soon as possible to focus on his cases before justice.
But while New Hampshire, where there are fewer evangelical votes and independents can participate in the vote, gives hope to Trump’s opponents, polls suggest that his victory is irreversible, unless something incredible happens. That is why, parallel to the Republican duel for the nomination, the profile of who should accompany Trump on the ballot is already being discussed behind the scenes. Haley, in fact, is one of the possibilities, despite being the former president’s staunchest opponent within the party. Even Trump has asked his allies regarding the idea, CBS reported.
The Trump-Haley formula is not well received by the circle most loyal to Trump. These firm squires are even doing everything possible to block her from the consolation prize of the call to the vice presidency, as reported this week by Politico’s Jonathan Martin. The reason is that Haley represents “the old guard” of the Republican Party and there are fears that, by bringing her directly closer to the line of succession, she will help prepare a coup to remove Trump from power in a hypothetical victory. “It would be a nightmare… On day one I would turn the Naval Observatory into an anti-Trump resistance headquarters,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) told Politico.

Furthermore, Haley’s ideas clash widely with the identity that the Trump movement has created on such crucial points as participation in foreign wars. Despite this, his name remains in the deck of possibilities because his appointment would be a letter of reconciliation with the old guard of the party, which became a thorn in the side at the end of his presidency.
For now, the first on the list to be Trump’s vice presidential ticket is that of Elise Stefanik, Republican representative from New York. He is as loyal to Trump as the rest of the group of hardline congressmen from the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement, but his face has gone unnoticed, which would make his appointment not as explosive as that of other figures such as Lauren Boaebert or Marjorie Taylor Greene, from the most radical wing.
Stefanik, 39, chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, accompanied Trump to Iowa and is preparing to be with him in New Hampshire. The former president has said that he is very capable and has told his circle that he “would do very well as vice president.” Trump values his loyalty, something he plays once morest other possibilities, such as Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the governor of Arkansas, and Katie Britt, the senator from Alabama, who refrained from endorsing Trump publicly before the primaries began.
Although loyalty is key for Trump, the former president seems to confuse it with something else. What he seeks is unconditionality. That word will be essential when he decides who accompanies him, since the Republican wants someone who, more than loyal, does what he says, unlike his previous running mate, former Vice President Mike Pence, whom he and his followers see as a traitor. .

“Stefanik obviously brings incredible talents on many levels, from the House, and knows how to defend President Trump and his MAGA movement. And most importantly, she knows how to play what I call the relentless moment, when you have to make that decision to go all in. And she understands something that is quite rare today: modern communications. She knows what can have an impact. It is clear that she has great talent,” said Steve Bannon, Trump’s former strategist, who engineered her plan to reach the White House in 2016.
One last name is Kristi Noem, governor of South Dakota, who was also with Trump in Iowa. She has made it clear that she is seeking the position, but her positions on strict abortion bans work once morest her, since the team Trump hopes to distance himself from this debate as much as possible and focus on other issues. There are also names of men on the list who meet the requirements, such as Senators JD Vance of Ohio or Tim Scott of South Carolina. However, from the words of Bannon and the Trump circle, everything seems to indicate that the Republican Party would nominate, for the second time in its history, a woman for the position of vice president. The first was Sarah Palin in 2008, accompanying the late John McCain. “My thinking is very structured and I believe that President Trump will have a woman as vice president,” Bannon said.
