Former President Donald J. Trump’s resounding victory in Iowa significantly raises the stakes of next week’s New Hampshire primary for Nikki Haley and the increasingly desperate contingent of Republicans who want to move on from Mr. Trump. It relies heavily on tens of thousands of independent voters expected to participate in the Republican primary. The demographic makeup of the state is also much more favorable to her than the more rural and conservative Iowa. “She’s on the ground, she’s in the diner, she’s doing the town halls,” Mr. Sununu said. You’re lucky to get him to fly in once a week to do a rally and then get the heck out of there.”
