A brazen Donald Trump supporter waylaid Nikki Haley during a campaign stop in New Hampshire when he shouted and asked her, “Will you marry me?”
Haley, who is fighting for her spot on the GOP ticket in today’s primary, was interrupted by a man in the crowd at the Artisan Hotel on Monday.
‘Nikki! Will you marry me?’ he shouted from the audience.
Haley, 52, seemed withdrawn before laughing and asking: ‘Are you going to vote for me?’
To her dismay, the man who jokingly offered his hand in marriage replied, “I’m voting for Trump.”
The former president, 77, is Haley’s only competition in the state’s primary after Ron DeSantis withdrew from the running on Sunday.
As the crowd started to boo, Haley shot back, “Oh. Go away.’ She started waving goodbye to the man before continuing her meeting.
This comes after DailyMail.com reporters and photographers were banned from all its events for reporting on alleged affairs.

Haley hopes a strong grassroots contest can produce undeclared voters eligible to participate in New Hampshire’s semi-open primary and give her an edge.
Trump is leading in the polls this year but faces an increasing challenge from Haley, his former ambassador to the United Nations, who is trying to surpass him in a state that values one-on-one time with presidential candidates. .
The small New Hampshire town of Dixville Notch and its six residents voted first at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday.
Haley won all six votes in the electorate, where Republican Party members are more moderate than deep-red Iowa. Four of the voters are registered Republicans and two are independents.
The Granite State prides itself on its independent streak. The number of unaffiliated voters, as they are called — those who can vote in the Democratic or Republican primaries — is greater than the number of voters who are committed to either major political party.
Trump and Haley are the only Republican candidates on the ballot, while Dean Phillips is also on the ballot for the Democratic primary, which President Joe Biden was not on
The primaries come after a new poll showed that many of Haley’s supporters in New Hampshire are voting for her to get rid of Trump.
A JL Partners/DailyMail.com poll shows that her supporters are primarily motivated by the idea of stopping the former president.
Haley, 52, seemed disappointed before she laughed and asked, “Are you going to vote for me?”

Trump’s supporters, on the other hand, say: country, America or border.
The results of our exclusive poll illustrate how one figure dominates the entire Republican nomination race, motivating not only his supporters but those of his opponent as well.
More than half of Haley’s fans said the main reason for supporting the former South Carolina governor was “stopping Trump.”
And that’s part of the reason why she’s struggling to make a dent in the frontrunner’s colossal lead.
The results come from a survey of 651 people who said they will vote in New Hampshire’s primary on Tuesday.
Respondents were asked to explain their choice in one sentence.
“Nikki Haley’s endorsement is not about Nikki Haley. Only two percent say they voted for her because of her policies,” said James Johnson, co-founder of JL Partners, which conducted the survey.

New Hampshire has hosted the nation’s first primary since 1920. In the last seven competitive Republican primaries, five of the winners won the party’s nomination.
“Instead, it’s about stopping Donald Trump. That, combined with low enthusiasm for Haley, limits her voting potential in these primaries to a relatively small number of people, especially in later contests where undeclared voters cannot vote.
Meanwhile, Trump’s supporters are motivated by positive reasons: Trump’s strength, his plans for the economy and, above all, his record in his first term.
“This is an election that Trump is dominating: even his opposition knows it.”
The top three words from Haley’s supporters were: Trump, Donald and Biden.
About 15 percent said she was “more moderate,” seven percent said she was “the most qualified,” and six percent said she could “unify the country.”
But their words don’t exactly suggest they’re excited by candidate Haley.
“All the good candidates have dropped out and she has the best chance of beating Trump if she doesn’t give him another chance,” said one voter.
Others pointed out her eligibility.
“I’m voting for Nikki Haley because I believe she can beat Biden and that she would be a leader of the new generation,” said another voter.
