Haley argues DeSantis 'is invisible' – emphasizes 'it's Trump we're going after'
ROCHESTER, N.H. – She traded fire for weeks ahead of the Iowa caucuses with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, her Republican presidential rival.
But now that the 2024 GOP nomination race has shifted to New Hampshire, Nikki Haley says that former President Donald Trump “is the one I want. Trump is the one I’m going for.”
Haley was edged by DeSantis for a distant second place to the former president in Monday night’s caucuses in Iowa. Trump – the commanding front-runner in the Republican race as he makes his third straight White House run – grabbed 51% of the vote in Iowa as he obliterated the previous margin of victory in a GOP presidential caucus.
But the latest polls in New Hampshire – which votes second overall in the Republican schedule and holds the first primary next Tuesday – indicate Haley is competitive with Trump while DeSantis is a distant third in single digits.
DESANTIS CAMPAIGNS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, BUT MOST OF HIS STAFF DECAMPS IN SOUTH CAROLINA

DeSantis, speaking to voters Wednesday afternoon in Hampton, New Hampshire, pointed to the caucus results and emphasized “I finished second. She didn’t, I mean, that’s just the reality, you know. So I don’t know how they’re going to spin that.”
Pushing back, Haley touted her Iowa finish.
“We started at two percent. We ended at 20,” she noted in a Fox News interview ahead of a campaign event at an American Legion post in Rochester, New Hampshire. “If anybody doesn’t see the momentum in that, then that’s their problem. It’s not mine. But we’re going to continue to go further. We’re way above 30% here.”

Haley, a former two-term South Carolina governor who later served as U.N. ambassador in the Trump administration, has repeatedly said this week that it’s a two-person race going forward with Trump.

“Ron is invisible in New Hampshire and South Carolina. Everybody can see that,” Haley argued.
DeSantis, speaking with Fox News in Derry, New Hampshire, argued that Haley “cannot beat Donald Trump in New Hampshire. And she definitely can’t beat him in her home state of South Carolina. That’s just the reality.”
The latest polling in South Carolina, which holds the first southern primary on Feb. 24, indicates Trump with a large double-digit lead over Haley, with DeSantis a distant third in single digits.
TRUMP, HALEY, TURN UP VOLUME ON EACH OTHER AS GOP PRESIDENTIAL SLUGFEST MOVES TO NEW HAMPSHIRE
“He’s closer to zero than he is to me in either of these states,” Haley said of DeSantis. “So it’s more about his survival. We’re strong. It’s a two-person race here in New Hampshire. It’s a two-person race in South Carolina. So, we’re focused on Trump.”
And looking to the former president, Haley said “you see how close it is with both of us in New Hampshire. Same in South Carolina. We’re going to try to make it closer. That’s the goal. So it’s Trump we’re going after.”

While Haley was finishing up her campaign event in Rochester, Trump was getting ready to take the stage at a rally in nearby Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
The former president took numerous shots at Haley, claiming that she’ll “never secure the border” and that she “wants to gut Medicare and Social Security.”
A day earlier, Trump charged at a rally in Atkinson, New Hampshire that Haley “was not great” as U.N. ambassador and argued that she wasn’t “tough enough” in dealing with adversaries.
Haley, speaking to the crowd in Rochester, accused Trump of lying about her and said that “he honestly thinks if he says something, it comes true.”
She told Fox News that Trump “knows we’re a threat” and is “throwing temper tantrums.”
And Haley’s campaign posted a video stocked with past clips of Trump praising her.

The team behind several popular hand roll spots in Boston has opened its newest concept near a college campus.
NoriNori Test Kitchen, opened at 399 Chestnut Hill Ave., Brookline on Tuesday, Jan. 27.
Located just steps away from Cleveland Circle and Boston College, the Japanese bar and restaurant is the third venture from NoToro Hospitality Group. The group oversees other popular sushi spots including Matsunori Handroll Bar in Fenway and Mai, which opened in Seaport in September 2025.
“Norinori is a salute to the humble bento, bringing their affordability, simplicity, and versatility to Brookline and modernizing their traditional flavors with a boldness that reflects our industrial cyberpunk-inspired space,” the restaurant’s website states. “Bentos fuel Japan. From Tokyo to Hokkaido. Come join us as we welcome them to Brookline.”
Keeping NoToro’s focus on affordability, NoriNori’s menu consists of moderately priced hand rolls and bento boxes.
Boxes range from $19-$27 and come with diners’ choice of protein, rice, soup and salad. Standouts include the $24 Gyukatsu, a fried beef sirloin cutlet with homemade tonkatsu sauce, and the Miso Butter Cod (also $24), which features Atlantic white cod marinated for 24 hours in a homemade miso butter mix.
Meanwhile most of NoriNori’s hand rolls are between $5-$6. Diners familiar with NoToro’s other concepts will recognize these rolls, which feature several staple fish including salmon, tuna, yellowtail and eel.
NoriNori is open Tuesday through Sunday from 5:30-9:30 p.m.
Ahead of the 2016 Championship Reunion on Jan. 31, we are taking a look back at each playoff round with a player who had a big impact on the series. Today, Bryan Rust talks the Eastern Conference Final against Tampa Bay. To join us for the reunion, click here.
“You’re now a Pittsburgh legend.”
That’s what Nick Bonino said to Bryan Rust on the bench after the Penguins defeated the Lightning in Game 7 of their 2016 Eastern Conference Final matchup.
“And I was like, what are you talking about?” Rust said with a laugh. “But over the years, it’s like, okay – the more and more you think about it, it’s like, wow, that’s something that’s cool.”
Then 24 years old, Rust put together a performance for the ages.
Game 1 turned out to be Andrei Vasilevskiy’s introduction to the league. Then 21 years old, the 2012 first-round pick – drafted by Tampa at PPG Paints Arena – took over between the pipes after Ben Bishop was carted off the ice and sidelined for the rest of the series. Vasilevskiy helped the Lightning earn a 3-1 victory in Game 1 before the teams went to overtime in Game 2.
And in the first minute, Rust helped the Penguins earn a 3-2 victory after setting up Sidney Crosby for the winner.
“I got off the bench, and what I would guess I was thinking was I was gonna drive the net, and then kind of saw him kind of out of the corner of my eye,” Rust recalled with a laugh. “So, I just pulled up, kind of laid it to him, and he did the rest.”
Fire crews were dispatched to Bonair Hill Rd for a structure fire around 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
When they arrived, the single-family home was fully involved, according to Town Manager Brian Foley.
Foley said in a post on Facebook that an adult male was outside on the property in serious medical distress and was transported to Rockville hospital. He also mentions that several family members got out safely and were staying at a neighbor’s house.
The home was completely destroyed, and the town staff and Red Cross are working to ensure the displaced family has access to any needed services, Foley said.
Local CT State Fire Marshals are on scene investigating the incident.
