A tumultuous last 2023 swing through New Hampshire for Nikki Haley

Controversy and backlash defined Nikki Haley's final swing though New Hampshire in 2023 as she looks to solidify her position as the Trump-alternative candidate. 

As Haley campaigned through the Granite State with Governor Chris Sununu, who recently endorsed her, the former UN ambassador found herself having to walk back and clarify her recent statements on the cause of the United States' Civil War. 

Haley initially failed to mention slavery when a voter asked her what caused the Civil War at a Wednesday town hall, instead saying the conflict was over states' rights and the role of government.
