Quick takeaways

  • Ron DeSantis drops out of the Republican presidential race, leaving only Nikki Haley and Donald Trump as contenders in the upcoming New Hampshire primary, where moderate voters may play a significant role.

Deep dives

Republican presidential contest narrows down to Nikki Haley and Donald Trump

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has dropped out of the Republican presidential race, leaving only Nikki Haley and Donald Trump as the remaining contenders. Despite DeSantis positioning himself as a Trump-like candidate without the legal baggage, he failed to gain significant support. Haley, a favorite among moderate voters, aims to present herself as an alternative to Trump. With the upcoming New Hampshire primary, where more moderate voters are expected to participate, Haley has an opportunity to make her case.
