Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley could “absolutely” win New Hampshire’s Republican presidential primary, Granite State GOP Chairman Chris Ager declared Friday.
Haley is currently running in second place in New Hampshire, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average, with 24.8% support, which puts her 21.5 percentage points behind former President Donald Trump with less than 4 weeks to go before Jan. 23. -main country.
“Expect the unexpected,” Ager told “Cats & Cosby Show” host John Catsimatidis.
“You never know what’s going to happen. The polls … over the last 6, 8 months show that President Trump is doing pretty well. But Nikki Haley has made a leap,” he added.
“I would say that Nikki Haley really has the potential to win the New Hampshire primary,” Ager said. “It is very possible. He comes here very often, and every time he comes, he does a town hall, and he answers questions from the unscripted audience, whoever.”

That tactic, however, carries its risks, as Haley learned earlier this week when she faced criticism after answering questions at a Berlin, NH, town hall about the causes of the Civil War.
In her response, Haley failed to mention slavery as one of the reasons. The next day he explained, “Of course the Civil War was about slavery.”
He also accused the Biden campaign and the Democratic Party of sending “plants” to raise Civil War questions to sabotage his event.
Ager noted that there are two upcoming debates that will take place in New Hampshire – one on January 18 hosted by ABC News and WMUR-TV and another on January 21 that will be broadcast on CNN – and with a vote on the same day, if “someone burning, this is where they can do that.”
Haley earned the endorsement of Republican New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu earlier this month, boosting her chances in the upcoming contest.
The former United Nations ambassador drew more than 300 people Friday at his last event of the year in the Granite State before heading to Iowa for more campaigning ahead of the Hawkeye State’s Jan. 15 caucuses.
