Speaker 1: Good morning.
Speaker 2: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Amy Morris. Here are the
Speaker 2: stories we're following today.
Speaker 1: We begin with the major political news ahead of the
Speaker 1: New Hampshire primary tomorrow night. Ron DeSantis has dropped out
Speaker 1: of the Republican presidential race after finishing a distant second
Speaker 1: in the Iowa caucases, and now he's throwing his support
Speaker 1: behind former President Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: It's clear to me that a majority of Republican primary
Speaker 3: voters want to give Donald Trump another chance. They watch
Speaker 3: his presidency get stymied by relentless resistance, and they see
Speaker 3: Democrats using lawfair this day to attack him.
Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis made his announcement in a post on x.
Speaker 1: Former President Trump says he appreciates the Florida governor's endorsement.
Speaker 4: They ran a.
Speaker 5: Really good campaign.
Speaker 6: I will tell you it's not easy.
Speaker 7: They think it's easy doing this stuff, right, It's not easy.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: With DeSantis out of the race, that leaves former South
Speaker 1: Carolina Governor Nikki Haley as the last standing Trump alternative.
Speaker 1: A new CNN University of New Hampshire poll shows Trump
Speaker 1: with fifty percent support in the Granite state. Haley comes
Speaker 1: in second at thirty nine percent.
Speaker 2: And Nathan with the dissentis withdrawal from the race. Nikki
Speaker 2: Haley is stepping up the direct attacks on Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Ed Baxter with that part of the story.
Speaker 7: She is really focusing on Trump's mental acuity. She says,
Speaker 7: he's not the same man now that he was when
Speaker 7: she served in his cabinet.
Speaker 8: So I always told him what I thought was in
Speaker 8: the best interests of the country when I was in
Speaker 8: his cabinet, But this is different. I mean, we're seeing
Speaker 8: he's just not at the same level he was at
Speaker 8: twenty sixteen. I think we're seeing some of that decline.
Speaker 8: But more than that, what I'll say is focus on
Speaker 8: the fact that no matter what it is, chaos follows him.
Speaker 7: Trump has responded that he feels mentally stronger than he
Speaker 7: did twenty five years ago, ed Baxter, Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 6: All Right, ed, thank you.
Speaker 1: While Trump is favored to be the Republican nominee, New
Speaker 1: Hampshire Governor Chris san Nunu, a vocal critic of the
Speaker 1: former president, says Republicans need a new voice because.
Speaker 9: Of that Trump brand we've lost in twenty eighteen and
Speaker 9: twenty twenty and twenty twenty two. I'm so tired of losing,
Speaker 9: and I'm tired of losers, and I think we're.
Speaker 5: Just tired of that brand that just drags the rest
Speaker 5: of the Republican Party down.
Speaker 9: Right, what's the point of scraping out a winning the
Speaker 9: presidency if you lose everything else? Like he has time
Speaker 9: and time and time again.
Speaker 1: New Hampshire Governor Christen you who says Nikki Haley can
Speaker 1: sustain her presidential campaign into the next round of Republican
Speaker 1: primaries even without a win in New.
Speaker 2: Hampshire, and after tomorrow's New Hampshire primary, gets onto the
Speaker 2: Nevada caucus and then to South Carolina, Nikki Haley's home state.
Speaker 2: Bloombergs Laura Davison is in New Hampshire covering the Republican primary.
Speaker 10: The question, though, really is what happens after New Hampshire.
Speaker 10: You're going into South Carolina, which I'll know is her
Speaker 10: home state. Trump is leading, So this is really a
Speaker 10: question of, Okay, you can do well on Tuesday. What
Speaker 10: is the long game here?
Speaker 2: Bloombergs Laura Davison reports Nicki Haley is launching a four
Speaker 2: million dollar ad campaign in her home state the day
Speaker 2: after the New Hampshire primary to try to convince South
Speaker 2: Carolina voters her campaign will have staying power and amy.
Speaker 1: We're going to have much more on the New Hampshire
Speaker 1: primary and the rest to the GOP race in just
Speaker 1: a minute, But we now turn to the latest developments
Speaker 1: in the Middle East. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyah, who
Speaker 1: has rejected what he says are unacceptable terms presented by
Speaker 1: Hamas for a new hostage deal. Here's Natanya, who's speaking
Speaker 1: through an interpreter, Kamas.
Speaker 5: Amas is demanding in exchange for the release.
Speaker 11: Of our hostages, the end of the war.
Speaker 7: The withdrawal of our forces from Gaza.
Speaker 4: Were we to agree to this, our soldiers would have
Speaker 4: fallen in vain and the next October seven would only
Speaker 4: be a question of time.
Speaker 1: Public and political pressure to bring those hostages back home
Speaker 1: has been rapidly increasing over the past several days. Over
Speaker 1: the weekend, family members demonstrated in front of Natanyahu's private residence.
Speaker 2: And we turn our attention now to financial markets. Early
Speaker 2: indications signal the record rally on Wall Street will continue
Speaker 2: futures are high, or we begin a new trading rate.
Speaker 2: On Friday, The S and P five hundred index finished
Speaker 2: at an all time high for the first time in
Speaker 2: two years. This week's earnings will continue to be a
Speaker 2: dominant theme. We get a preview from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett.
Speaker 6: We'll be hearing from companies across a broad swath of
Speaker 6: industries amid questions about how firms and their customers have
Speaker 6: dealt with high interest rates. Emily Rowland is co Chief
Speaker 6: Investment Strategistic JH Investments.
Speaker 12: So what companies are dealing with now, of course, is
Speaker 12: a much higher cost of capital as rates have gone
Speaker 12: up at the same time that revenue growth the shrinking.
Speaker 12: So those margins are really getting challenged here. And the
Speaker 12: key for companies from here is who can manage that
Speaker 12: best in an environment where it's going to become.
Speaker 11: A lot more difficult.
Speaker 6: Among the names reporting this week, three M American Express, Blackstone,
Speaker 6: AT and T, Northrop Grumman, Norfolk, Southern Union, Pacific, Team Mobile,

Speaker 7: Good morning.
Speaker 1: I'm Nathan Hager on a morning where it is now
Speaker 1: down to two in the Republican presidential race. Florida Governor
Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis has dropped his bid for the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four nomination. He is endorsing Donald Trump, the front runner
Speaker 1: the head of tomorrow night's New Hampshire primary, But Nicki
Speaker 1: Haley is hoping an upset in the Granite State will
Speaker 1: propel her into her home state of South Carolina, just
Speaker 1: holding its own primary next month. We'll get the latest
Speaker 1: on the ground from Manchester in just a moment. But first,
Speaker 1: New Hampshire Governor Chris Snunu tells Bloomberg's Joe Matthew and
Speaker 1: Kayley Lines why he's throwing his support behind Nicki Haley
Speaker 1: rather than former President Donald Trump.
Speaker 5: Let's start here.
Speaker 9: I magine if you're the former president and your own party,
Speaker 9: you can barely get fifty percent of the vote.
Speaker 5: That's why Trump's in trouble, right.
Speaker 9: So now that you have somebody new on the scene
Speaker 9: kind of building that kind of momentum is huge.
Speaker 5: And the key is that it's a one on one race.
Speaker 9: So if Trump can barely hold fifty percent or keep
Speaker 9: them under fifty percent in a one on one race, well,
Speaker 9: the mass says that there's fifty one percent to Nikki Haley,
Speaker 9: and that's what you need to win a state.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 9: I don't think any of these early states are must
Speaker 9: wins for Hailey. I don't think that's ever been the case.
Speaker 9: They're possible, but they're not must wins.
Speaker 5: I think when you get to.
Speaker 9: Super Tuesday, okay, now you really have to start winning states. Obviously,
Speaker 9: But as long as she keeps building on that momentum,
Speaker 9: I think there's a lot of opportunity. She has money,
Speaker 9: she has resources, she has you knows how to win
Speaker 9: in New Hampshire, knows how to win in South Carolina,
Speaker 9: so all the wind is at her back.
Speaker 16: Any Custer set in this chair a short time ago
Speaker 16: and said, we want you to write in. Joe Biden
Speaker 16: does a write in campaign for the president of the
Speaker 16: Creunited States which is remarkable. But she said if not
Speaker 16: vote for Nicky, just don't vote for Trump. When you
Speaker 16: have a Democrat talking like this and Donald Trump across
Speaker 16: the streets saying Democrats are infiltrating the process here to
Speaker 16: vote for.
Speaker 5: Democrats cannot vote. Democrats cannot they vote in the course, well,
Speaker 5: you say, of course, I had other stations.
Speaker 9: I mean, you guys get it, But I had other
Speaker 9: stations being like talking about democrats vote, Democrats are not
Speaker 9: voting in the Republican shrimery.
Speaker 16: This idea that Democrat leaning independents are going to make
Speaker 16: a difference here in New Hampshire and there aren't enough
Speaker 16: New Hampshires to keep doing that across the country.
Speaker 9: Well, independents have always been able to vote ass both
Speaker 9: Democrat and Republican, and they're not independence in New Hampshire.
Speaker 5: They're undeclared.
Speaker 9: So you could have hard Trump supporters and hard Bertie
Speaker 9: Sanders socialists within the undeclared spectrum. This year, they're more
Speaker 9: likely to play on the Republican side because there's no
Speaker 9: nobody cares about the Democrats side.
Speaker 5: So that's all.
Speaker 9: So you're just going to see a lot more folks
Speaker 9: play there and they tend to want change.
Speaker 5: That's it.
Speaker 9: They want the next new thing, they want the like.
Speaker 9: There's the Republicans that are within that independent group really
Speaker 9: are Republicans, right, they understand Trump doesn't carry Republican values.
Speaker 5: Was he fiscally conservative?
Speaker 9: No, he had tax cuts that supposedly helped the economy,
Speaker 9: but then vote seven trillion dollars to do it. That's
Speaker 9: like saying to your family, Hey, look at this wonderful
Speaker 9: new house we're living in, and you just paid for
Speaker 9: it on a credit card.
Speaker 5: Right, it's a falsehood.
Speaker 9: He doesn't believe in limited government, he believes in this
Speaker 9: kind of dictatorship. He doesn't believe in local control. He
Speaker 9: believes in Washington. So those are not Republican values. So
Speaker 9: I think a lot of the Republicans within that undeclared
Speaker 9: and those conservatives are very much coming over to nicky side.
Speaker 17: Would it be fair, Governor to say the Republican party
Speaker 17: that Trump represents is not your Republican party, not the
Speaker 17: Republican party of your father.
Speaker 9: Put it well, put it this way. I saw a
Speaker 9: bumper stick or the other that says I don't vote Republican,
Speaker 9: I just vote Trump. He's his own entity. He doesn't
Speaker 9: define the Republican Party at all.
Speaker 17: But you have said because he if he were to
Speaker 17: be the Republican nominee, because you are a Republican, you
Speaker 17: would support it.
Speaker 5: Most people would. That shouldn't surprise anybody.
Speaker 17: Yeah, even though he don't think he actually carries the
Speaker 17: values of the Republican Party.
Speaker 9: Look, Joe Biden, that's how bad Joe Biden. I mean
Speaker 9: I always say that. I mean, this is what has
Speaker 9: happened with inflation and all of that. The one thing
Speaker 9: I suppose that I'm hopeful again, I'm hopeful it's Nikki.
Speaker 5: I think she can do it.
Speaker 9: Any Republican would build a much better team than Joe Biden.
Speaker 9: I mean the team that Joe Biden has put in there,
Speaker 9: and with the rules and the regulations that are just
Speaker 9: crushing families, they're just crushing locals and state governments, and
Speaker 9: nothing can be developed, nothing can be built, nothing can
Speaker 9: move forward. So no, I look, I'm excited about Nikki
Speaker 9: Haley being the nominee. That's why we're here in New Hampshire.
Speaker 9: This is where I don't want to say it can
Speaker 9: it all turns around, because she's already made the turnaround, right,
Speaker 9: it's already gone from thirteen candidates to a one on
Speaker 9: one race that in itself is amazing. This is where
Speaker 9: again she just keeps adding kind of gasoline to that
Speaker 9: fire and keeps driving forward.
Speaker 16: You talk about Trump team building, of course, most of
Speaker 16: Trump's team has come out against him following the administration,
Speaker 16: many of them.
Speaker 5: Let you tell me something, Yeah.
Speaker 16: But so you know the quality of its team might
Speaker 16: only be as strong as long as you can keep
Speaker 16: it together. But I want to hear the argument, though,
Speaker 16: you're prepared to vote for Donald Trump if it's a
Speaker 16: Trump Biden election, you've made that.
Speaker 9: Of the polls, you know most of America would, I mean,
Speaker 9: he beats bile.
Speaker 5: But keep that from happening.
Speaker 16: Yeah, why is Nicki Haley? Let's talk about your candidate
Speaker 16: better for New Hampshire than Donald Trump.
Speaker 9: So in the latest polls, New Hampshire hasn't gone Republican
Speaker 9: in the general election about twenty years. And then the
Speaker 9: latest polls show that Trump gets crushed in New Hampshire
Speaker 9: against Biden. Nicki wins, right, Nikki allows the Republicans in
Speaker 9: New Hampshire to win this state again in November, and
Speaker 9: that would happen in a lot of states across the country.
Speaker 1: That's New Hampshire Governor Chris sa Nunu speaking with Bloomberg
Speaker 1: Balance of Power hosts Joe Matthew and Kaylee Lines ahead
Speaker 1: of the New Hampshire primary coming up tomorrow night. And
Speaker 1: joining us now from New Hampshire is Bloomberg's Laura Davison,
Speaker 1: part of our political team covering the first in the
Speaker 1: nation primary coming up on Tuesday. Great to have you
Speaker 1: with us dark and early this morning. Laura, give us
Speaker 1: a sense of where this race stands now with Ron
Speaker 1: DeSantis bowing out.
Speaker 10: So this is really a two person race. Nicki Haley
Speaker 10: predicted last week coming out of Iowa would be She
Speaker 10: was a little bit mocked because people were like, wait,
Speaker 10: you came in third in the Santras's and seconds. It
Speaker 10: turns out if you wait a couple of days, it
Speaker 10: turned out to be true. Haley is across the state
Speaker 10: all day with a series of events. Trump, for his part,
Speaker 10: will have a one rally tonight. He's been getting long
Speaker 10: lines and big crabs with those.
Speaker 1: So it sounds as though both sides are finding some
Speaker 1: support depending on their supporters in this race. Where do
Speaker 1: you see the momentum is it behind former President Trump?
Speaker 1: Is it behind former Governor Haley in this in this
Speaker 1: New Hampshire race.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so Haty has been in recent days. You've seen
Speaker 10: sort of a climb in some of her poll numbers.
Speaker 10: The two poles that just came out last night were
Speaker 10: not the best for Haley. She was coming in, you know, roughly,
Speaker 10: you know, mid to high thirties percentage and Trump was
Speaker 10: just at fifty or fifty one percent souse. That's a
Speaker 10: fifteen point gap. That's outside the margin of air, and
Speaker 10: that is the kind of gap that is hard to
Speaker 10: make up all on election day with just having strong turnout.
Speaker 1: Well, there is this idea in New Hampshire that they
Speaker 1: have an independent minded electorate. There are a lot of independence,
Speaker 1: a lot of undeclared candidates who can vote in this race,
Speaker 1: as Governor Sanu New noted, obviously Democrats who are registered
Speaker 1: for the party cann Could that kind of support, that
Speaker 1: sort of independent, undeclared support give Haley the kind of
Speaker 1: momentum that perhaps the polls don't show at this point,
Speaker 1: it certainly could.
Speaker 10: I was speaking with a Republican strategist who all note,
Speaker 10: was working to back Haley's campaign but he noted that
Speaker 10: the polls in New Hampshire are notoriously not great because
Speaker 10: of the system where you have undeclared who can come
Speaker 10: off the sidelines and vote on either team, vote for
Speaker 10: either team on election day. So they're basically theory of
Speaker 10: the case is that there are people who are either
Speaker 10: you know, maybe would have voted Democratic, maybe would not
Speaker 10: have voted at all, or new voters who have come
Speaker 10: off the sidelines who were not excited about Biden, not
Speaker 10: excited about Trump, but will be for Nicky Haley on
Speaker 10: election day. That's their theory. They think that they can win,
Speaker 10: They think that they can come across Ben pull apart
Speaker 10: some of the Desantas supporters after he dropped out yesterday,
Speaker 10: there's not a ton of the Santa supporters in New Hampshire.
Speaker 10: He was, you know, somewhere around six seven percent of
Speaker 10: the of the electorate if you look at the polls.
Speaker 10: But you know, kind of conventional wisdom would have that
Speaker 10: his supporters would go to Trump Nicky halees people say, look,
Speaker 10: these are people who are wanting in front alternative and
Speaker 10: now we're the only Trump alternative left.
Speaker 1: That would be interesting to see whether some of that
Speaker 1: support for DeSantis does peel Nicky Haley's way, because as
Speaker 1: we heard from DeSantis on his ex announcement yesterday, he
Speaker 1: is getting behind the front runner, Donald Trump. We have
Speaker 1: a number of former candidates in this race who have
Speaker 1: gotten behind Trump as well, including Senator Tim Scott from
Speaker 1: Haley's home state of South Carolina. I mean, how much
Speaker 1: do endorsements matter in this New Hampshire raised.
Speaker 10: You know, for New Hampshire, these endorsements don't matter a
Speaker 10: whole lot. But you look forward to states like South Carolina,
Speaker 10: one of the next states on the map where it
Speaker 10: is it is Haley's home state, but Trump is ahead
Speaker 10: by a lot and Scott is very popular there, So
Speaker 10: you know, Scott endorsing for her competitor Trump is likely
Speaker 10: to be a headwind for Haley. This is really kind
Speaker 10: of the issue for Haley. Even if she is able
Speaker 10: to pull out a win on Tuesday, what happens next.
Speaker 10: You know, if you look at the next contest on
Speaker 10: the map, Super Tuesday is not that far away in
Speaker 10: early March, she doesn't have more New Hampshire's where she
Speaker 10: could have some of these upsets, which that sort of
Speaker 10: calls into question the viability of her campaign going forward.
Speaker 1: So the calendar could be a headwind for Haley coming
Speaker 1: up here, but we are hearing as well that there
Speaker 1: are going to be a lot more fundraisers for Nicki Haley,
Speaker 1: a lot of Wall Street backing for her campaign as well.
Speaker 1: How could that add to her momentum? Potentially?
Speaker 10: This certainly helps her, you know, to be able to advertise,
Speaker 10: to be able to hire door knockers and tandbursers and
Speaker 10: have the operation that she needs to go forward. You know,
Speaker 10: we've seen a lot of Wall Street interests from Haley
Speaker 10: really pick up in the fourth quarter of last year.
Speaker 10: She had some really strong debate performances and after that
Speaker 10: we saw a lot of fundraisers from a lot of
Speaker 10: major Republican donors. She got the support of the co
Speaker 10: political network that's Americans for Prosperity that's been out, you know,
Speaker 10: running tens of millions of dollars in advertisements for her,
Speaker 10: hiring door knockers in the state of New Hampshire. They've
Speaker 10: spent so far about three or four million on people,
Speaker 10: you know, going out and trying to get their neighbors
Speaker 10: to vote. So money really can make a difference if
Speaker 10: you don't have support, it can't necessarily make up a gap.
Speaker 10: But if you know, if you're close, if you're competitive,
Speaker 10: especially in a place like New Hampshire, that can help
Speaker 10: put a candidate over the edge.
Speaker 1: Got about thirty seconds left, Laura. So what kind of
Speaker 1: a finish is Nikki Haley's campaign really hoping for? Here
Speaker 1: we heard from Governor Sanu News saying she doesn't necessarily
Speaker 1: need a win to propel her campaign. But what kind
Speaker 1: of a margin does she need to carry her into
Speaker 1: South Carolina and on into Super Tuesday.
Speaker 10: She needs it to be really, really close. We're talking
Speaker 10: a couple points, you know, a near virtual tie for
Speaker 10: her to be able to make the case that she
Speaker 10: could take on Trump.
