MANCHESTER, New Hampshire — DeSantis who?
Former President Donald Trump is toning down his attacks on former 2024 top contender Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, instead focusing passionately on Nikki Haley.
“You noticed I didn’t mention Ron DeSanctimonious again,” Trump said 15 minutes into his speech.
“I think he’s gone.”
Amid the single-digit polling in NH, DeSantis had hoped to make a decision in South Carolina — Haley’s home state — and completely disappeared from the Granite State on Saturday while campaigning in the south.
Florida’s governor is set to return to New Hampshire for an event Sunday night before storming the state on Monday ahead of the Jan. 23 primary.
Trump also tore into Haley’s support in South Carolina, where she is governor, by bringing elected officials from the south’s first major state onto the stage.
“To the people of New Hampshire: what you need to know about Nikki Haley is that every globalist, liberal, Biden supporter, and Never Trumper is on her side — and almost every leader in her home state of South Carolina is on our side. side,” added Trump.
Before his rally Saturday night in Manchester, the Trump campaign handed the press a packet of attacks on Haley for reference including items such as her record on taxes, immigration and Democratic donors.

At a Concord campaign event on Friday, he disparaged Haley’s record while she served as UN ambassador under his administration.
“He’s not strong enough. He’s not smart enough and he’s not respected enough,” Trump claimed.
Haley is Trump’s main challenger in New Hampshire, with some polls showing her just seven percentage points behind the 77-year-old.

Trump won the Iowa caucuses by 30 points, but urged voters to turn out Tuesday for the first national primary, because “margins matter.”
Crucially, the Trump campaign incentivized volunteers to call New Hampshire voters with rewards such as a personalized autographed Trump hat, VIP tickets to a rally or a photo taken with the former president.
“We have made hundreds of thousands of voter contacts across the state. We have the strongest volunteer army of any campaign. We have 270 city captains. We have district seats from every county, all 10 in the state, and we have 67 legislative endorsements,” Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told The Post at Trump Headquarters in New Hampshire on Saturday morning.

“We are very confident in the efforts of the Trump team to bring President Trump to the finish line on Tuesday,” he added.
For the Trump camp, the goal on Jan. 23 is to build on the “momentum” they gained in Iowa, said Trump’s top surrogate and Rep. Elise Stefanik at the top.
At his Saturday rally, Trump urged voters to ignore the polls and get out the vote because “we need a big, big win against these terrible people.”
“We need to win a lot because we need to send a signal for November: We are coming,” he added.
