New Hampshire Primary: What You Need to Know About GOP Race

Nikki Haley rode into Tuesday’s Iowa caucuses with momentum - and some rich donors - on her side. Billionaire Charles Koch’s political network had put down $4 million, and was promising more. Even social-media warrior Bill Ackman was a fan.

But after her disappointing third-place finish behind Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, the only woman among the Republican candidates is under pressure before next week’s contest in New Hampshire. Sensing weakness, Haley’s rivals are slinging taunts and attacks her way. Rich backers are watching closely.

Trump, meanwhile, has stepped up attacks on Haley in recent days, even promoting a false claim that she’s not entitled to run for the presidency despite being born in the US to Indian-immigrant parents. His campaign also is running radio ads accusing her of wanting to raise the age for receiving social security.
