BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE: Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley shared her determination to defeat former President Donald Trump in the Republican primaries as she joined co-hosts Brian Kilmeade, Ainsley Earhardt, and Steve Doocy on the January 23 episode of 'Fox & Friends.'

Haley is the only challenger to Trump's bid in the GOP, after Florida Gov Ron DeSantis dropped out of the race on January 22.

Since then, there has been a spike in donations for Haley's campaign, as she stated that there were "a million and a half dollars in small donations from all over the country."

Nikki Haley confirms she will not give up her bid

During her appearance on the morning show, Haley emphasized that "70% of Americans don't want a Trump-Biden rematch" and the disapproval ratings for both are "through the roof."

Even if she suffers a setback in New Hampshire, the former Governor of South Carolina spoke of her intention to take the fight to her home state, and on to the Super Tuesdays, saying, "We're going to finish this."

"I’m not going anywhere. Keep in mind, that he got 50,000 votes in a state of 3 million (in Iowa). Is that what we are going to say decides in the country? I know the elites say we all need to coalesce around him," she said.

"This is not a coronation. This is a democracy. We are going to have a strong showing today in New Hampshire. We’re heading to South Carolina … and then we are on to Super Tuesday," she added.

Responding to Trump's call for "the Republican Party to come together," Haley snapped back saying, "in his dreams."

Polls continue to show Donald Trump in the lead

A Suffolk University, Boston Globe and NBC10 in Boston daily tracking poll released on January 22 showed third-time presidential candidate Trump at 57% support, whereas Haley stood at 38%.

Similar standings were reported in a Monmouth University/Washington Post survey conducted from January 16-20, which showed Trump and Haley with 52% and 34% support, respectively.

Trump also led by double digits in a University of New Hampshire/CNN poll conducted between January 16-19, where he stood at 50% and Haley at 39% support.

Haley has clarified that she is not interested in being vice president, even after Trump comfortably won the Iowa caucuses in the middle of January.
