Harmony Montgomery was five-years-old when she was last seen in 2019, believed to be killed by her father.
Adam Montgomery, 34, was found guilty on February 22, 2024, of murdering his young daughter and moving her body to different locations in the months after her death. It took a jury less than a day to convict Montgomery of Harmony’s murder, even though her remains have never been found.
Harmony was born in Massachusetts in 2014 to Montgomery and Crystal Sorey, who were unmarried and not even dating at the time of Harmony’s birth. The first years of Harmony’s life were troubled, with the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) a regular presence in her young life.
When Harmony was born, it was believed she would be blind and severely disabled, according to <a href="https://www.mass.gov/doc/office-of-the-child-advocate-investigative-reportharmony-montgomerymay-2022/download" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an investigative report</a> by Massachusetts’ Office of the Child Advocate (OCA). She ended up being blind in one eye but finding ways to cope.
Her father was in prison at the time of her birth, so she lived with her mother until DCF became involved when Harmony was just two-months-old. DCF placed Harmony in foster care, where she bounced back and forth between that and her mother’s care until February 2019, when her father and his wife, Kayla, were given custody. The couple lived in New Hampshire, and just five months after they gained custody of Harmony, the New Hampshire Department of Children, Youth, and Families (NHDCYF) received a report about abuse. Harmony had a black eye and Montgomery admitted to hurting his daughter.
Even with Montgomery’s admission, NHDCYF’s assessment of the situation determined the allegations of harm were unfounded in October 2019.
The OCA’s report, released in May 2022, found that DCF did not complete an assessment about whether Montgomery was capable of caring for Harmony and her medical needs. He rarely responded to the DCF case management team, and when he did respond, they couldn’t actually speak to him other than to manage his supervised visits with Harmony. The report also found Harmony had 20 supervised visits with her father from the time of her birth to when she was four-and-a-half-years-old, for a total of 40 hours spent with her father.
Her father was not required to complete or even start tasks on his action plan designed to ensure he would be a good caregiver for his daughter. There was also no transition plan in place to make sure the new custody arrangement would be successful. Montgomery was also allowed to take Harmony across state lines and was not required to comply with regulations from the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC). This meant that there was little DCF could do once Harmony went to live with her father in New Hampshire.
In January 2020, a few months after Harmony’s black eye, NHDCYF received a report about the Montgomerys that didn’t mention Harmony. The department asked Montgomery about Harmony and he told her the little girl had been living with her mother in Massachusetts since Thanksgiving. NHDCYF tried to confirm this information but couldn’t get ahold of Sorey, Harmony’s mother.
One year later, in January 2021, NHDCYF received another report about the Montgomery household that didn’t mention Harmony. A second report, again with no mention of Harmony, was made in March 2021. At the time, Montgomery again claimed Harmony was living with her mother and said he hadn’t seen her in a year.
Months later, in September 2021, NHDCYF was contacted by a friend of Sorey’s, who was concerned that Harmony had not been seen since 2019 and that she was supposed to be living with her father in Manchester, New Hampshire. NHDCYF did some research and found that Harmony, who would have been seven at the time, was not enrolled in school in Manchester. The department then began searching for the Montgomerys.
On November 18, 2021, Sorey reached out to Manchester police to say she had not seen her daughter since a FaceTime call in April 2019, more than two and a half years earlier. On December 27, 2021, NHDCYF told the police they couldn’t find Harmony and police opened a search. Within days, Manchester police announced Harmony’s disappearance and that a search had commenced.
In early January 2022, Montgomery was arrested after he was found to be living in his car with a girlfriend. He was charged in Harmony’s disappearance. His wife was also arrested and charged.
At Montgomery’s trial this month, prosecutors alleged that he beat Harmony to death in December 2019 after she had a bathroom accident in his car, prosecutor Christopher Knowles said in his opening statements, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/watch-live-adam-montgomery-murder-trial-harmony-montgomery/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to CBS Boston</a>. After killing his daughter, prosecutors alleged, Montgomery &#8220;pulled into that parking lot at Burger King and he ordered his food.”
He ordered his food and he ate. He didn&#8217;t stop to check on Harmony,&#8221; Knowles added, according to the outlet. &#8220;He didn&#8217;t look back at her. He didn&#8217;t show any concern for this innocent little girl, the child he had just beaten. He ordered his food, and he ate. And he didn&#8217;t stop.&#8221;
During the three months after Harmony’s death, Montgomery allegedly moved her body to different places and in different containers. His wife Kayla testified that at one point, Harmony’s body was in the trunk of a friend’s car, a cooler left in the hallway of her mom’s apartment building, the ceiling vent of a homeless shelter where she and Montgomery were living with her two kids, and a freezer in an apartment. Kayla also said the remains were held in a tote bag from a hospital maternity ward that she placed in a stroller between her own two kids to bring it to Montgomery’s place of work, CBS reported. At another time, People magazine <a href="https://people.com/harmony-montgomerys-father-found-guilty-murdering-5-year-old-8598768" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, Harmony’s body was apparently kept in a closet until neighbors complained about the smell.
It is believed that in March 2020, Montgomery disposed of Harmony’s body using a rented U-Haul. Her remains have never been found.
Montgomery claimed at trial that it was Kayla who killed Harmony and tried to frame him, but jurors didn’t buy it.
Montgomery was found guilty on five charges: second-degree murder, second-degree assault, witness tampering, falsifying evidence, and abuse of a corpse. Kayla pleaded guilty to charges of lying to police to obstruct their murder investigation. She is serving an 18-month sentence as part of her plea deal.
Montgomery faces decades in prison and likely will be sentenced in April. He was already in prison for an unrelated gun conviction that sentenced him to 30 years behind bars.

A boy who is a high school sophomore took first place in the girls&#8217; high jump competition at the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA) indoor track and field championship.
Maelle Jacques, who <a href="https://twitter.com/icons_women/status/1757146082331775460?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1757146082331775460%7Ctwgr%5Eb27c10ee469738e8156781306a56bcf90453b1ca%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.dailywire.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D696127action%3Dedit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrated</a> as a female competitor failed to match his winning jump, jumped 5’2”, one inch higher than any girl but roughly a foot lower than the winning jump in the boys’ competition.
Twelve-time All-American swimmer Riley Gaines slammed Jacques’ parents, <a href="https://twitter.com/Riley_Gaines_/status/1754651411311112215?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1754651411311112215%7Ctwgr%5E87de23c5293519ccab5de68ad483e32784fce4cc%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.dailywire.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D696127action%3Dedit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posting</a> on X, “How could the parents of this boy allow their son to cheat deserving women out of opportunities? And why don’t the parents of the girls stand up and say ‘no’ for their daughters? This country is full of failing, gutless mothers and fathers.”
&nbsp;
The NHIAA has an eligibility policy that <a href="https://nhjournal.com/nh-dem-defends-male-high-jumper-competing-as-girl-its-an-obscure-competition/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asserts</a>, “The NHIAA is committed to providing transgender student-athletes with equal opportunities to participate in NHIAA athletic programs consistent with their gender identity. The NHIAA has concluded that it would be fundamentally unjust and contrary to applicable state and federal law to preclude a student from participation on a gender-specific sports team that is consistent with the public gender identity of that student for all other purposes.”
The organization that oversees the track competition <a href="https://patch.com/new-hampshire/across-nh/winner-new-hampshire-girls-high-jump-biological-male" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> allows athletes to compete in whatever division they want.
Shannon McGinley, executive director of Cornerstone Action, <a href="https://nhjournal.com/nh-dem-defends-male-high-jumper-competing-as-girl-its-an-obscure-competition/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, “If school boards feared their constituents more than they feared [law firm] Drummond Woodsum and leftist superintendents, in a matter of months, we could have half the school districts in the state organized into an alternative NHIAA. The solution is for parents to stop accepting cowardly excuses from school board members who ran as conservative.”

Meanwhile, New Hampshire Democrats are opposing proposed legislation that would prevent boys from competing against girls. SB 524 <a href="https://legiscan.com/NH/text/SB524/id/2864699" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states</a> that it would require “any interscholastic, intercollegiate, or club athletic team, sport, or athletic event that is sponsored or sanctioned by a school, school district, an activities association or organization under the control of the state board of education, or an institution of higher education under either the university system or the community college system to be designated based on the biological sex at birth of the participating athletes, and restricts those participating in sports designated as ‘female’ to biological females.”
One Democrat, Rep. Tim Horrigan said of Jacques, “We don’t even know if she’s actually trans, but if she is, that’s certainly a very unfair thing [to keep her from competing]. A lot of these cases, they are pretty obscure competitions that normally sports fans wouldn’t be paying much attention to.”

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> threatened this week those who are considering giving to the presidential campaign of his former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, saying that if they do so moving forward, they will not be welcomed by those in Trump World.
The former president made the remarks in a social media post after winning the New Hampshire primaries on Tuesday night by double digits, significantly narrowing the path forward for Haley.
&#8220;Nikki &#8216;Birdbrain&#8217; Haley is very bad for the Republican Party and, indeed, our Country,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;Her False Statements, Derogatory Comments, and Humiliating Public Loss, is demeaning to True American Patriots. Her anger should be aimed at her Third Rate Political Consultants and, more importantly, Crooked Joe Biden and those that are destroying our Country &#8211; NOT THE PEOPLE WHO WILL SAVE IT.&#8221;
&#8220;I knew Nikki well, she was average at best, is not the one to take on World Leaders, and she never did,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;That was up to me, and that is why they respected the United States. When I ran for Office and won, I noticed that the losing Candidate’s &#8216;Donors&#8217; would immediately come to me, and want to &#8216;help out.&#8217; This is standard in Politics, but no longer with me. Anybody that makes a &#8216;Contribution&#8217; to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp. We don’t want them, and will not accept them, because we Put America First, and ALWAYS WILL!&#8221;
Trump&#8217;s remarks come after Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel effectively <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rnc-chairwoman-ronna-mcdaniel-nikki-haley-has-no-path-going-forward-to-beat-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that Haley needed to drop out of the race following the results in New Hampshire.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
&#8220;I’m looking at the math and the path going forward,&#8221; McDaniel said. &#8220;And I don’t see it for Nikki Haley. I think she’s run a great campaign. But I do think there is a message that’s coming out from the voters, which is very clear, we need to unite around our eventual nominee, which is going to be Donald Trump and we need to make sure we beat Joe Biden.&#8221;

Politics

The Republican Party is currently a party that is angry —  and I think they are justifiably angry on a number of scores.
One of the things the Republican Party is angry about is hearing about racial divisions. They&#8217;ve been lectured since Barack Obama ran for president in 2007 that America was coming close to racial unity, only to have that ripped away from them and watch as everybody retreated back into tribalistic corners.
That is how we wound up with Critical Race Theory, DEI, and “equity” from the Biden administration.
So when Republicans hear from any members of the Republican Party how America is a place that was replete with discrimination even 20 or 30 years ago, they tend to think, “I&#8217;m not sure the person who&#8217;s saying that is the person I want fighting this fight today.” Not that people are lying about their experiences of 20 or 30 years ago, but if you point out your experience of 20 or 30 years ago, does that make you the person who is best suited to fight against the culture today?
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1890-my-debate-with-destiny-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
The reason this is coming up is because there&#8217;s a clip of Nikki Haley that went viral just before the primaries in which she is talking about her childhood. What she said was not wildly controversial, except that it is very much at odds with the attitude of many members of the Republican base, which is to say: Are you going to stand up against the predations of the DEI, CRT culture? Are you going to stand up against the idea that America is a place of racial division with sufficient alacrity? Or are you going to try to play a little bit of identity politics for gain?
During a recent interview, Haley said:
<blockquote>We were the only Indian family in our small southern town. I was teased every day for being brown. So, anyone that wants to question it can go back and look at what I&#8217;ve said on how hard it was to grow up in the Deep South as a brown girl. … What I will tell you is saying that I had black friends is a source of pride; saying that I had white friends as a source of pride. If you want to know what it was like growing up, I was disqualified from a beauty pageant because I wasn&#8217;t white or black because they didn&#8217;t know where to put me. So look, I know the hardships, the pain that come with racism. It&#8217;s the reason that I fight bullies every day when it comes to racism, anti-Semitism, or hate. And I always will.</blockquote>

That went viral on the Right because the question is, was she saying that to pander to legacy media or was she doing what Tim Scott did during the campaign where he acknowledged how far we&#8217;ve come now. I&#8217;ve suffered from racism. I know what that&#8217;s like. But America is a place of opportunity. To pretend that America today is what America was yesterday is foolish.
Or was Haley’s message an “I&#8217;m a diverse candidate; vote for me” kind of play? I think a lot of Republicans took away the latter message from clips like that one, and it obviously did not help her.
I think that was combined with a lot of people who are very pro-Trump and very angry anybody would deign to run against him. Whatever the reason, it didn&#8217;t end up well for Haley in New Hampshire overall. However, she says she is not going to drop out of the race just yet. Yesterday, she <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/haley-pushes-back-at-trump-suggestion-shell-drop-out-after-nh-primary-i-dont-do-what-he-tells-me-to-do" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> she was not going to talk political obituaries: “We&#8217;re going to go and fight until the very last poll closes. And then we&#8217;re headed to my sweet state of South Carolina and we&#8217;re going to make the case in it.”
<h4><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></h4>
It&#8217;s a couple of weeks until South Carolina, and I think that Haley is going to stay in all the way until South Carolina. I&#8217;m not sure exactly why she would. Maybe she wants to rack up some delegates in case there&#8217;s an act of God and something happens to Trump, and they go to the convention and she says, “I&#8217;m the person with the second-most delegates,” and makes her case there. Maybe she wants to trade her delegates for some sort of slot in the administration.
But here’s the reality: The primaries are over. They&#8217;ve been over since Iowa. Everything else is merely a waste of time and effort.
If you&#8217;re a Democrat, you feel like the trap may have just snapped closed on your opponents. Now that Trump is the nominee, you&#8217;re starting to see polls emerging in the swing states — a poll from Pennsylvania with Trump down eight to Joe Biden.  All of a sudden, they’re saying, “Oh, look at that. He&#8217;s losing in the swing states.”
Watch for that move from the legacy media.
But it is far too early to tell who&#8217;s going to win or lose this election. Period.

&#8220;I have to tell you, it was very interesting because I said, &#8216;Wow, what a great victory,'&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;But then, somebody ran up to the stage all dressed up nicely &#8212; when it was at 7. But now I walked up and it said 14.&#8221;
&#8220;She ran up when it was 7, and you know, we have to do what&#8217;s good for our party, and she was up and I said, &#8216;Wow, she&#8217;s doing a speech like she won. She didn&#8217;t win. She lost,'&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Last week we had a little bit of a problem. If you remember, Ron was very upset, because she ran up and she pretended she won Iowa.&#8221;
&#8220;And I looked around and I said, didn&#8217;t she come in third? Yeah, she came in third,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And then I looked at the polls, she was talking about most win-ability. Who is going to win, and I have one put up, we have won almost every single poll in the last three months against crooked Joe Biden. Almost every poll. And she doesn&#8217;t win those polls.&#8221;

Trump Slams Haley In New Hampshire: ‘She’s Doing A Speech Like She Won. She Didn’t Win. She Lost.’

Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/john-cornyn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Cornyn</a> (R-TX) announced on Tuesday following former President Donald Trump&#8217;s victory in New Hampshire that he is endorsing the former president.
&#8220;I have seen enough. To beat Biden, Republicans need to unite around a single candidate, and it’s clear that President Trump is Republican voters’ choice,&#8221; Cornyn said. &#8220;Four more years of failed domestic policies like the Biden Border Crisis and record-high inflation, and failed foreign policies that have emboldened our adversaries and made the world a more dangerous place, must be stopped.&#8221;
&#8220;I am proud of our accomplishments in President Trump’s first term, including the confirmation of 234 federal judges, including three members of the United States Supreme Court; passing historic tax reform, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; unleashing our energy potential; and ushering in the best economy for all Americans in my lifetime,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I will be continuing to work to elect a Republican Senate majority and to elect President Trump in 2024.&#8221;

Senator Cornyn Endorses Trump Following New Hampshire Win

John Cornyn

Former U.N. Ambassador <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nikki-haley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikki Haley</a> vowed to stay in the Republican Party primary race after losing to her former boss, former President Donald Trump, in New Hampshire on Tuesday night, her second primary loss.
The race was called for Trump with less than 20% of the vote counted as the former president enjoyed an 8-9% lead over Haley in a state where she relied on independents, moderates, and secular voters to boost her. The remaining primary schedule largely favors the former president.
&#8220;What a great night!&#8221; Haley declared while addressing her supporters, &#8220;God is so good.&#8221;
After acknowledging that Trump won the primary, she said that &#8220;the political class&#8221; was &#8220;falling all over themselves saying this race is over.&#8221;
&#8220;Well, I have news for all of them. New Hampshire is first in the nation. It is not the last in the nation,&#8221; she said. &#8220;This race is far from over. There are dozens of states left to go. And the next one is my sweet state of South Carolina.&#8221;
Later in the speech, Haley said, &#8220;With Donald Trump, Republicans have lost almost every competitive election. We lost the Senate. We lost the House. We lost The White House. We lost in 2018. We lost in 2020. And we lost in 2022. The worst kept secret in politics is how badly the Democrats want to run against Donald Trump. They know Trump is the only Republican in the country who Joe Biden can defeat. You can&#8217;t fix the mess if you don&#8217;t win an election.

Nikki Haley Vows To Stay In Race After New Hampshire Loss: ‘Race Is Far From Over!’

Nikki Haley Vows To Stay In Race After New Hampshire Loss: 'Race Is Far From Over!'

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> won the first-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire on Tuesday night, beating his former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.
The race was called as Trump leads Haley 54.4% to 43.3% with 95% of the votes counted, according to The New York Times.
Leading up to the primary, polls briefly showed that Haley was within striking distance of the former president in the state. The trajectory of the New Hampshire primary changed after Trump captured a strong win in the Iowa Caucuses last week and Haley came in third place behind Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
The results from Iowa, combined with DeSantis suspending his campaign this week and endorsing the former president, further extended the former president&#8217;s lead in the state.
New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, who endorsed Haley, <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/sununu-lowers-expectation-haley-tuesdays-new-hampshire-gop/story?id=106498966">lowered</a> the expectations for her heading into the week after previously declaring that Haley would win in a &#8220;landslide.&#8221;
CNN said that the exit polling it conducted in New Hampshire found that a staggering 70% of the people who voted for Haley were not registered Republicans.

The remaining primary slate will heavily favor Trump over Haley, who relied on independents, moderates, and secular voters to come in second place in New Hampshire.
The next contest is in Nevada, where Haley opted to not participate in the caucus and instead signed up to do the state&#8217;s primary where she will win no delegates, according to <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/01/23/new-hampshire-primary-2024/nikki-haley-nh-primary-00137136" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Politico</a>.
Trump repeatedly slammed Haley on social media as the results rolled in from New Hampshire.
&#8220;Haley said she had to WIN in New Hampshire,&#8221; Trump wrote. &#8220;SHE DIDN’T!!!&#8221;
&#8220;DELUSIONAL!!!&#8221; he continued, later adding: &#8220;SHE CAME IN THIRD LAST WEEK!&#8221; and &#8220;SHE JUST LOST NEVADA, WHICH IS UP NEXT!&#8221;

Trump Wins New Hampshire GOP Primary

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dean-phillips" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dean Phillips</a> (D-MN), a long-shot challenger to President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>, tore into the Democratic Party as primary day in New Hampshire got underway following an eye-opening experience visiting with supporters of former President Donald Trump.
During an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fsKvW8fcDw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview on CNN</a>, which aired on Tuesday after a New Hampshire newspaper <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4423586-new-hampshire-newspaper-endorses-dean-phillips-primary/#:~:text=A%20New%20Hampshire%20newspaper%20on,Haley%20on%20the%20GOP%20ticket." target="_blank" rel="noopener">endorsed</a> his campaign, Phillips shared his &#8220;conviction&#8221; that Biden would lose in a 2020 rematch against Trump and warned of a &#8220;crisis of participation&#8221; within his party.

&#8220;I&#8217;ve got to tell you guys, I went to a Donald Trump rally a couple nights ago. Never been to one. I had an event across the street. I saw the line of people waiting in the cold for hours and I thought, what the heck, you know, I&#8217;m going to be a leader who actually invites people, doesn&#8217;t condemn them,&#8221; Phillips said.

&#8220;Met probably 50 Trump people waiting in line. Every single one of them, thoughtful, hospitable, friendly, all of them so frustrated that they feel nobody&#8217;s listening to them but Donald Trump,&#8221; he added. &#8220;A diverse crowd. People who had never been to a Trump event before. My party is completely delusional right now, and somebody had to wake us up. And if that&#8217;s my job, so be it.&#8221;
Phillips, like other challengers against Biden, <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-primary-d/2024/national/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trails</a> the incumbent by a wide margin in polls and has been critical of the Democratic Party for not hosting debates and vying to keep them off <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/2023/12/01/dean-phillips-florida-primary/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the ballot</a> in key states. However, New Hampshire will be different.
New Hampshire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-hampshire-spurns-dnc-refuses-to-give-up-first-in-the-nation-primary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opted to defy</a> the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/democratic-national-committee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democratic National Committee</a> (DNC) by holding its first-in-the-nation primary for Democrats on January 23 after the national party decided to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrats-vote-to-make-south-carolina-first-presidential-primary-state-move-up-georgia-michigan-and-bump-new-hampshire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shake up</a> its primary schedule by selecting South Carolina to go first on its calendar.

Phillips said he &#8220;absolutely&#8221; prefers Biden defeating Trump, but he argued in favor of competition versus a &#8220;coronation.&#8221; While he voiced support for other Democrats to get in the race, Phillips said he is &#8220;trying to extend an invitation to the president to get in the game because if you want to be the president again the only way to even possibly win is to get out here, listen to voters.&#8221;

Former President Donald Trump received a boost in New Hampshire primary polls after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis dropped out of the race on Sunday, according to the Real Clear Politics <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/republican-primary/2024/new-hampshire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">average</a>. 
All three polls that have been released factoring in DeSantis’ departure from the race put Trump around 60% and more than 20 points ahead of his last remaining GOP competitor, Nikki Haley. For most of the polls taken this month, Haley remained around 15 points behind Trump, even coming within seven points of the Republican frontrunner in one CNN poll. As of Tuesday morning, just hours before voters go to the polls in New Hampshire, Trump stands at 55.8% to Haley’s 36.5%, according to the RCP average. 
The most recent poll, released on Monday by the Boston Globe/Suffolk, showed Trump leading Haley 60% to 38%. That poll showed a three-point increase for Trump from a Boston Globe/Suffolk poll released just a day before. Meanwhile, an InsiderAdvantage poll <a href="https://insideradvantage.com/insideradvantage-new-hampshire-gop-primary-post-desantis-poll-trump-leads-haley-62-35-undeclared-voters-apparently-not-a-major-factor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conducted</a> on Sunday after DeSantis dropped out and endorsed Trump showed Trump at 62% to Haley’s 35%. A <a href="https://www.thetrafalgargroup.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/NH-GOP-PPP-Poll-Report-0122.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poll</a> released by the Trafalgar Group on Sunday had Trump at 58% and Haley at 36%. 
The former president cruised to a victory in Iowa last week, winning 98 of the state’s 99 counties and taking more than 50% of the vote in the state’s caucuses. DeSantis dropped out of the GOP primary after placing second in Iowa with 21%, as Haley finished third with 19%. New Hampshire appears to be Haley’s best chance to pull off an early upset of Trump as she hopes to solidify herself as a competitive alternative to the former president. 
The former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. questioned her former boss’s mental fitness for office during a campaign event in New Hampshire last week after Trump misspoke and appeared to confuse her for former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). 
“We see that [President Joe] Biden has changed so much in two years,” Haley said. “But last night, Trump is at a rally and he’s going on and on mentioning me multiple times as to why I didn’t take security during the Capitol riots,” Haley <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/nikki-haley-trump-mentally-fit-nancy-pelosi-rcna134887" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
“They’re saying he got confused, that he was talking about something else, he’s talking about Nancy Pelosi,” she continued. “He mentioned me multiple times in that scenario. The concern I have is — I’m not saying anything derogatory — but when you’re dealing with the pressures of the presidency, we can’t have someone else that we question whether they’re mentally fit to do this. We can’t.”

Trump fired back at Haley during a rally in New Hampshire on Monday night, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4NLbnthNks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arguing</a> that “she is unelectable” because she has sold out to people who are “pro-amnesty, pro-China, pro-open borders, pro-war, pro-deep state, and pro-Biden.” 
Most polling locations in New Hampshire will close at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday, while some locations will stay open until 8 p.m.

Former President Donald Trump ripped his former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Monday after she has shifted to attacking his age ahead of this week&#8217;s presidential primary in New Hampshire.
Trump made the remarks to Fox News when asked what he thought about Haley bringing up his age in recent days after the former president appeared to mix up Haley and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at a rally.
&#8220;Well I think I&#8217;m a lot sharper than her,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I would do this, let&#8217;s sit down right now and take an aptitude test, and it would be my result against her result. And she&#8217;s not gonna win, not gonna even come close to winning.&#8221;
&#8220;In fact, when I heard the word &#8216;cognitive,&#8217; in fact, I&#8217;ve taken two of them now,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I took one with Dr. Ronny, who is now a fantastic Congressman from Texas. &#8230; I took one then and I took one recently, I think the result was announced, and I aced it twice. I aced it. But I would say that I&#8217;ve actually called for a cognitive test for anybody running for president, it would be nice to have an intelligent person as president.&#8221;

Trump Rips Haley For Bringing Up His Age: ‘I’m A Lot Sharper Than Her’

HOOKSETT, NH — The first batch of votes cast at midnight tonight in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire will include at least one for Nikki Haley.
Annmarie Pintal Turcotte, who is one of the just six voters registered to vote in the precinct, told The Daily Wire on Monday that she will be casting her vote for the former South Carolina governor. &#8220;I&#8217;ve met Nikki Haley,&#8221; Turcotte told The Daily Wire at a rest stop in New Hampshire. “I think she&#8217;s fantastic and I hope that she&#8217;s our next president.”
It will be Turcotte’s first time voting in the town that has a historic tradition of voting first in the Granite State which has four registered Republicans and two independents, according to <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/01/22/new-hampshire-primary-2024/previewing-the-dixville-notch-vote-00137027" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Politico</a>. Though the precinct only has six voters, it has become a closely watched batch of votes as they will be the official first primary votes cast in the primary.
<h3>Dixville Notch Voter Says Nikki Haley Will Get Her Vote In New Hampshire Primary</h3>
<iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wZQm40yApkE?si=VpD63FYan3Tj0ZpZ" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
“It started actually in 1960 by Neil Tillotson, who was the owner of the Balsams Resort,” Turcotte said, referring to a resort that she&#8217;s now the part owner of. “He started the tradition of voting at midnight and it&#8217;s very exciting because it&#8217;s the first in the nation primary.”
Though Haley is just one of two candidates remaining after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis dropped out of the race over the weekend, she is viewed as a long shot to prevail over former President Donald Trump, who won a commanding victory in the Iowa caucuses and remains ahead by wide margins in the polls. Haley is hoping that a strong performance in New Hampshire, where she&#8217;s been boosted by an endorsement from Republican Governor Chris Sununu, could push her back into contention.
Turcotte, who voted for Trump in the 2016 Republican primary, said she believes it’s time for new leadership.
“I did support him and I do believe that he did a lot of great things for our country and I think that in a lot of ways, by a lot of measures, we were in very good shape under Trump&#8217;s presidency,” she said. “We appreciate his strengths, but we also know his weaknesses and I think that his presidency, which was supposed to make America great again, also made America hate again.”
“I believe that someone like Nikki Haley can get down to the work that needs to be done and do more uniting,” she added.

Turcotte said she’s worried about war possibly being on the horizon and wants steady leadership to avoid conflict.
“The possibility of World War III is real and I think, I would ask Trump supporters why he appointed Nikki Haley to be our ambassador to the United Nations,&#8221; Turcotte said. &#8220;I think that&#8217;s because he knows that she has what it takes to be an effective world leader.&#8221;
Turcotte added that she is also concerned that if Trump wins the nomination, he will lose to President Joe Biden.
“I know that there&#8217;s a lot of support for President Trump in this state,” she said. “I also know that there&#8217;s a lot of people who do not support Trump, and I&#8217;m very concerned that the people who don&#8217;t support Trump, if he gets the nomination, they will vote for Biden, and we can&#8217;t have that.”

In 2016, Dixville Notch voters narrowly sided with former Ohio Governor John Kasich, who won three votes to Trump&#8217;s two.
