Trump says he 'doesn't care' if Haley stays in the race

Donald Trump on Tuesday shrugged off Nikki Haley 's vow to stay in the presidential race no matter how she does in New Hampshire 's primary, saying he was 'confident' of his victory. 'I'm very confident,' he said Tuesday afternoon during an unannounced stop at a polling place in Londonberry, N.H. 'Let her do whatever she wants, it doesn't matter,' he added.

Trump also predicted Haley's wish to have a two-person race - him and her - would actually hurt her chances in the state's first-in-the-nation primary. 'I think it hurts her actually. I think it's gonna hurt her, probably have a big loss today,' the former president said. Haley, meanwhile, has vowed to fight on. 'I don't do what he tells me to do. I've never done what he tells me to do,' she said Tuesday morning of calls from Team Trump for her to drop out.

Trump and Haley spent Tuesday following a candidate tradition of stopping by polling places in New Hampshire on the day voters were out at the polls. There are 24 Republicans on the New Hampshire ballot, including those who registered before dropping out of the contest: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former Gov. Chris Christie, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, former Vice President Mike Pence, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Sen. Tim Scott.
