Here are some key takeaways from the event to bring you up to speed:
DeSantis tries a go-everywhere, do-everything strategy: Trump won’t debate his Republican rivals. And, as of Tuesday morning, Haley says she won’t either, unless the former president shows up. That led to the ABC News cancelling their plans for a Thursday night face-off, and could put an end to the 2024 GOP primary debates. But DeSantis wanted to make sure New Hampshire voters knew it wasn’t his fault — he had been up for it.
DeSantis questions Haley's ability to unite Republicans: DeSantis offered a simple message about Haley: She cannot unite the GOP and win the nomination. But that soundbite held an insight into how views the next stage of the race. DeSantis is, in effect, saying that if you do not want to nominate Trump, then he’s the guy people should support.
"The US is not a racist country": DeSantis was asked if he agreed with comments Haley had made earlier in the day, when she said that the United States has “never been a racist country.” “The US is not a racist country,” the Florida governor said, while noting that “we’ve overcome things in our history.”
The path to presidency looks daunting and uncertain for Haley and DeSantis
From CNN's Arit John, Steve Contorno and Daniel Strauss
GOP presidential candidates Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley are rushing to redefine their paths to viability after former President Donald Trump’s resounding victory in the Iowa caucuses crushed their cases to the next round of GOP voters.
The two arrived in New Hampshire grasping for silver linings in their disappointing Hawkeye State performances and scrambling to find a message that could convince Republicans the race is far from over.
DeSantis, the governor of Florida, and Haley, a former governor of South Carolina, had hoped to slow Trump’s momentum and further establish themselves as the best alternative to the front-runner.
But hundreds of appearances, more than $120 million in advertisements, five debates and a record-shattering arctic blast failed to blunt Trump in Iowa.
As the campaigns move on to the next stage of the primary calendar, the contours of the race remain unmoved.
