Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said Sunday 'may the best woman win' after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dropped out of the 2024 race
She was addressing voters at Brown's Lobster Pound in Seabrook, New Hampshire when the news broke that DeSantis was giving up on his bid
On his way out, DeSantis endorsed former President Donald Trump and called Haley 'a repackaged form of warmed over corporatism'
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said Sunday 'may the best woman win' as she reacted to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantisquitting the presidential race.
The news came as Haley was addressing potential supporters at Brown's Lobster Pound in Seabrook, New Hampshire with the state's Gov. Chris Sununu at her side.
Haley is campaigning in the Granite Stateafter banning DailyMail.com reporters and photographers from all her eventsover reporting on alleged affairs.

'I want to say to Ron, he ran a great race, he's been a good governor and we wish him well,' Haley said. 'Having said that, it's now one fella and one lady left.'
In turn, DeSantis kicked Haley as he walked out the door.
He said Trump had his endorsement 'because we can't go back to the old Republican guard of yesteryear, arepackaged form of warmed over corporatism that Nikki Haley represents.'
Haley told CNN's Dana Bash that DeSantis didn't give her a heads up that he was leaving the race.
'No, he didn't call or inform me. And, look, this is what the fellows do,' she said, adding that she 'doesn't take politics personally.'
DeSantis' exit turns the Republican primary race into a tussle between frontrunner Trump and underdog Haley.
New Hampshire - which allows unaffiliated voters to cast ballots in its Tuesday first-in-the-nation primary - seemed to be the most fertile ground for Haley to upend the race.
But the latest polls still show the former South Carolina governor with a double-digit deficit to the former commander-in-chief.
The Emerson College poll released Sundayshowed Trump with the support of 50 percent of New Hampshire voters and Haley at 35 percent….

A mudra(/muˈdrɑː/ ⓘ; Sanskrit: मुद्रा, IAST: mudrā, "seal", "mark", or "gesture"; Tibetan: ཕྱག་རྒྱ་, THL: chakgya) is a symbolic or ritual gesture or pose in Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism.[1] While some mudras involve the entire body,most are performed with the hands and fingers.[2]
According to Jamgön Kongtrül in his commentary on the Hevajra Tantra, theornaments of wrathful deities and witches made of human bones(Skt: aṣṭhimudrā; Wylie: rus pa'i rgyan phyag rgya) are also known as mudra "seals".[3]
Karana Mudrā
edit
The karana mudrā is the mudra which expels demons and removes obstacles such as sickness or negative thoughts. It is made by raising the index and the little finger, and folding the other fingers. It is nearly the same as the Western "sign of the horns", the difference is that in the Karana mudra the thumb does not hold down the middle and ring finger. This mudra is also known as tarjanī mudrā.
