Nikki Haley showed 'stunningly bad judgment' in speech after New Hampshire loss, says Steve Hilton

"The Next Revolution" host Steve Hilton called out Nikki Haley Tuesday night for her response to former President Trump's primary win in New Hampshire and her decision to use her post-race speech to attack the GOP frontrunner "more aggressively" than ever before.

"She wants to go to South Carolina, a state where she's miles behind Donald Trump, currently 20, 30, 40 points behind Donald Trump. She needs to persuade Republicans who currently support Trump to switch to her. So what did she do in that speech tonight? Attack Donald Trump more aggressively than she's ever done before? It is stunningly bad judgment. It makes me think, actually, she knows she's going to lose," Hilton said.

Fox News projected Trump would win the Granite State primary just a few minutes after the final polls closed in New Hampshire.

The win, however, did not land a knockout blow in the Republican presidential race after Haley vowed to keep on fighting.

"You’ve all heard the chatter among the political class. They’re falling all over themselves saying this race is over. Well, I have news for all of them: New Hampshire is first in the nation. It is not last in the nation. This race is far from over," Haley stressed as she spoke to supporters after the contest was quickly called for Trump.

For Haley, a former two-term South Carolina governor who served as U.N. ambassador in the Trump administration, New Hampshire was seen as her best and possibly last chance to slow down or derail the former president's march towards renomination.
