On Wednesday, Donald Trump made a pointed statement on Truth Social directed towards Nikki Haley's donors, writing, "Anybody that makes a 'contribution' to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp," and less than 24-hours later, Haley flipped the attack into a campaign merchandise opportunity.

Most Haley supporters in NH said they would not vote for Trump in the general.

i dont think they know of any other way.

The other way is to stay home on election day. Everyone knows how to do that.

Every time you vote in a primary in NH you declare a party when you choose a ballot. Then after voting you stop at a table on the way out and can revert to undeclared. So you can do it again next election.

Most republicans in NH voted for Trump. NH let’s undeclared voters vote in either primary. And a lot of undeclared are just straight up Democrats and vote in which ever primary we think needs the support (speaking from experience). So a lot of Nikki voters were dems with wishful thinking.

An interesting exit poll question would have been to ask how many Nikki voters would vote for her in the general (vs Biden). I bet a lot of NH undeclared would still be voting Biden, like me.
