Former White House press secretary, Sean Spicer has told the BBC’s Americast podcast that Nikki Haley may “choose to fight another day” but no-one is “really giving her any chance”.
Spicer, who was press secretary to Donald Trump in his 2016 administration, said that New Hampshire was the one place she could “break out” as she was more likely to succeed there than in Iowa, where Donald Trump won last week's caucus.
Haley, a former United Nations ambassador, had focused her campaign efforts on New Hampshire, making dozens of stops in diners, local shops and other small-town spots, but ultimately came up short in the primary.
Spicer also said it was “a sign of strength” that Trump appeared on stage in New Hampshire alongside candidates who had run against him, which “sends a very strong signal that people who wanted to take him on want to stand behind him now and support him going forward.”
