Haley questions Trump’s mental fitness after he appears to confuse her with Nancy Pelosi

From CNN's Ebony Davis

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Saturday questioned Donald Trump’s mental fitness after he appeared to confuse her with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi when talking about the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.

“Last night, Trump is at a rally and he’s going on and on mentioning me several times as to why I didn’t take security during the Capitol riots. Why I didn’t handle January 6 better. I wasn’t even in DC on January 6. I wasn’t in office then,” Haley said.

“They’re saying he got confused. That he was talking about something else. That he was talking about Nancy Pelosi. He mentioned me multiples times in that scenario,” the former South Carolina governor added.

Her comments come after Trump said at a campaign rally in New Hampshire: “By the way, they never report the crowd on January 6. You know, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley … did you know they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything, deleted and destroyed all of it? All of it, because of lots of things, like Nikki Haley is in charge of security, we offered her 10,000 people, soldiers, national guards, whatever they want. They turned it down.”

Beyond confusing Haley with Pelosi, Trump’s contention that the speaker of the House is responsible for US Capitol security is not accurate, as CNN previously fact-checked.

“We need people at the top of their game,” Haley said in a Fox News interview Saturday. “I’m not saying that this is a Joe Biden situation, but I’m saying, are we really going to go and have two 80-year-olds running for president?”

Biden and New Hampshire Democrats have a lot riding on a low-key write-in campaign in the state

From CNN's Edward-Isaac Dovere

Joe Biden's supporters would prefer that he win Tuesday’s Democratic primary in New Hampshire. State Democratic leaders want that too. But the trick for everyone involved has been figuring out how to make that happen, since the president’s name doesn’t appear on the ballot.

That’s left the state’s Democratic establishment trying to spread the word about an unofficial campaign to write in Biden’s name — but not spread it so loudly that they risk embarrassing the president, and themselves, if someone else — like Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips — wins.

Biden did not register for the New Hampshire ballot following an internal party dispute over the date of the primary and the Democratic National Committee’s decision that the election effectively won’t count. Still, the fear is that not winning here would feed the narrative that he is weak heading into the general election. And state Democratic leaders want to avoid a win by a newcomer that could undermine their case to the DNC that their first-in-the-nation primary should be reinstated in 2028.

The deliberately low-key effort has so far been mostly about setting up signs, hosting Zoom calls and a few house parties, like one last weekend when a state representative’s 60th birthday party doubled as an organizing event. Hundreds of people have now trained on how to stand outside polling places on primary day and explain to voters how and why to write in Biden’s name.

  • Countdown to New Hampshire: Donald Trump and GOP rivals Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis are making their final appeals to New Hampshire voters with just days until the state's 2024 primary contest.
  • Haley and Trump escalate attacks: The former South Carolina governor and former president have ramped up attacks against each other as Trump seeks to deliver a knockout blow to Haley in the state. Haley is looking to secure a strong showing in New Hampshire to springboard her campaign after coming third in Iowa.
  • What's at stake: A victory in Tuesday’s primary — eight days after his dominating win in the Iowa caucuses — would accelerate Trump's march to a third consecutive GOP presidential nomination. But Trump faces a tougher test in the Granite State, where polls show Haley, who was his US ambassador to the United Nations, within single digits of him and challenging his frontrunner status there.
