MANCHESTER, N.H. – On the eve of New Hampshire’s Republican presidential primary, several voters in Manchester said they had no desire to see former President Trump return to the Oval Office.

Polls show the former president with double-digit leads over former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley among likely Republican voters. But a recent Marist College survey suggests Haley would perform better against President Biden in a general election in the Granite State.
Brian from Manchester said he originally planned to vote for Chris Christie, but will vote for Haley since the former New Jersey governor dropped out.
“It’s a vote not for her so much, but it’s against Trump,” he told Fox News.
