Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he "does not care" about Republican contender Nikki Haley as he was confident that the people in New Hampshire are going to "vote for him" once again.

During his surprise visit to a polling station at Londonderry, New Hampshire, accompanied by his ally Marjorie Taylor Greene, he also criticised incumbent President Joe Biden saying: "I think that Biden is the worst president in the history of this country.”

“But we’re gonna all comeback. They’re all coming back. And I think you see that here," the 77-year-old added.

Donald Trump also underscored his support in New Hampshire saying that the people “are going to all vote for me again."

While responding to a question about his major opponent and the former US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley for staying into Super Tuesday, the former president said: "I don't care if she stays in, let her do whatever she wants, it doesn't matter."

According to the polls, the four-time-indicted former president has been on the top as a Republican candidate for the presidency as Ron DeSantis announced days earlier that he is ceasing his bid for the White House.

The only opposition that remains is the 52-year-old Haley.

Amid the New Hampshire Republican voting, Trump is confident to push Haley out of the race. In the last weeks' Iowa caucuses, Trump secured a landslide victory.

The former US Ambassador said she would be persistent in securing the Republican nomination no matter what the results are. She has been focusing her campaign in New Hampshire.

Her team said that it will not be a "Trump coronation".

Separately, the Democrat primary is also taking place Tuesday, but the party has been split as Joe Biden is not on the ballots, rendering the results, unrecognised.
