Haley finished second in New Hampshire – but his hopes of a close race or even a victory were not fulfilled. The 52-year-old insisted that a run for the Republican presidential nomination is “not far off.” “The worst-kept secret in politics is how badly Democrats want to oppose Donald Trump,” Haley said. “Trump's nomination is a Biden win.”
