The former UN ambassador during Trump's often turbulent presidency stated in a speech after the vote that the race was "far from over" and that Democrats "want" to run against her former employer.They are aware that Trump is the only Republican in the nation that Joe Biden can defeat," the 52-year-old Haley cautioned.

Haley had anticipated a significant upset given the northeastern state's high voter turnout. But as soon as the initial tallies were in, US broadcasters swiftly predicted her defeat.

Despite being the subject of four criminal trials since leaving office and having been impeached twice while president, Donald Trump was already the clear front-runner in national Republican polling.

Even though Haley questioned the 77-year-old's mental state on several occasions and warned that another Trump presidency would result in "chaos," polls show that her efforts in New Hampshire were merely a speed bump.

Keith Nahigian, a former member of Trump's transition team and veteran of six presidential campaigns, told AFP that he believed Biden and Trump were the only contenders left in the race.

New Hampshire was markedly more Haley-friendly than states she will subsequently face, should she stay in the race, and continuing into February will be a tough sell without a win or at least a narrow loss.

Her next must-win stop will be her home state South Carolina.
