Good morning from the Hive newsroom. Trumpworld’s new focus on New Hampshire, where 2024 presidential candidate Nikki Haley is polling in second place, is all too telling. Caleb Ecarma [notes]( that a new survey from American Research Group found Haley trailing by just four points in the second-in-the-nation primary state, well within the poll’s margin of error, leading GOP front-runner Donald Trump to describe its data as “fake.” In other news, Harvard president Dr. Claudine Gay has resigned. She was one of three university presidents who received high levels of scrutiny for not saying “yes” when asked at a congressional hearing whether “calling for the genocide of Jews” violated the university code of conduct. But her resignation, as Bess Levin [writes](, is seemingly over allegations of plagiarism. Plus, to win back women, GOP strategist Kellyanne Conway [apparently plans]( to advise Republican lawmakers to focus less of their rhetoric on gutting abortion access and more on supporting access to birth control.
