Katy Tur on N.H. Dems Switching Republican to Vote for Haley: ‘I Heard that over and over Again’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Now as for Nikki Haley, does not want to roll a gutter ball here in New Hampshire. I’ve been talking to a lot of voters here, and I keep hearing over and over and over again that they wanted to see her prove that she has a chance tonight in Iowa. That was a second place win. There were some who said if she comes in a close third, okay. But here’s the thing, voters in the state, Republican voters tell me they want another option. And they say Nikki Haley has the best shot at another option. But it’s not just Republican voters. It’s Democratic voters as well who say they don’t entirely like Biden, and they are looking for someone else as well. Listen to a conversation I had with a lovely lady named Maria, a little bit later at the bowling alley. Here’s how she described it.
>>
>>
>> Sides could do better.
>> Danger?
>>
>> Is gonna go for Donald Trump or Nikki Haley?
>> I hope Haley.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Liberal?
>>
>>
>> Have had their field of men, and it’s time for younger people to come in that have a broader scope, and are willing to work with the other side, governors screaming over their choice and wanting to go home, wanting to win.
>>
>> Who would you vote for?
>>
>> Wow!
>> With Israel right now.
>> Different?
>> To listen and in a gosia. And negotiate than President Biden.
>> Trouble in New Hampshire?
>>
>>
>>

>> Over and over again, not just from Mariah there, but other voters who said they have been voting Democrat their whole life. They switched their party affiliation, voted Republican. They are going to the primary next week and they tell me that it’s not just about next week. They do want somebody other than Biden on the ticket. That state is also pretty offended that Joe Biden took away their first vote status here, and moved into South Carolina. They are super angry about that here in this state. And they want a change. They want to see something else. That being said, Nikki Haley out of South Carolina, you’ve been talking about it all night, doesn’t have the clearest path. They described it more as a deer trail. But she is hoping she could be more like John McCain in 2008, finding some momentum in this fiercely independent state, and independent minded voters are voters who just don’t love Trump as much as we think they do in South Carolina and beyond, that you can do it. The problem is that we just saw in Iowa that he is still so intensely popular with the core of the Republican Party, the MAGA core of the party has just taken over so completely that it’s hard to see what her path is. By the way, the name that I did not hear, not even once in this state while I was here, Ron DeSantis.
>> They don’t know who he is. They can’t even spell it. Not likely to be a factor, they’re not even heading straight to New Hampshire out of his second place finish in Iowa tonight. Katy Tur at that yankee bowling alley in manchester, New Hampshire, getting better at the sport with every take, thank you, my friend. Yes, do it. Go on! Come on. Look at that, come on, come on – oh, that is well done, Katie. Appreciate it.
