It's all but over. Donald Trump has beaten Nikki Haley in the state of New Hampshire.... Early indications are that the margin of victory will not even be close.
The former US President was coming in as a bigly -5000 favorite to become the GOP nominee at BetOnline.
That sportsbook was expected to offer an Over/Under on when the one time UN Ambassador and former South Carolina Governor will drop out (before which race). Gambling911 has pre-betting odds of -120 that Haley will drop out before the South Carolina primary, where Trump is currently crushing her in the polls.
As this was going to press, Trump appeared to be coasting to a near 10 point victory over Haley with just under half the vote counted.
“This is not your typical victory speech, but let’s not have someone take a victory when she had a very bad night,” Trump said, complaining that Haley came in third in Iowa “and she’s still hanging around.”
“I don’t get too angry. I get even,” he told a crowd of supporters packed into a steamy hotel ballroom.
For her part, Haley insisted she was staying in the race. She also lodged her most vitriol criticism yet against Trump.
'I want to congratulate Donald Trump on his victory – he earned it, and I want to acknowledge that,' Haley, 52, told supporters at her Election Night rally in Concord, New Hampshire.
'You have all heard the chatter among the political class. They are falling all over themselves, saying this race is over. It's not over!' she proclaimed.
Haley said that if Trump thinks he's mentally fit, there should be 'no problem standing on a debate stage' to go head-to-head in the narrowed-down primary race.
