What you need to know:
Trump has ramped up attacks on Nikki Haley over the last week, calling her "not smart enough."
The Democrats have their own primary in New Hampshire on the same day as Republicans.
Donald Trump aims to sew up the Republican presidential nomination after the contest narrowed to a two-horse race with Florida governor Ron DeSantis's withdrawal less than 48 hours before the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday.
