Catch me up. Last night, Trump beat former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, passing his second hurdle of 2024. The former president earned 11 delegates, with 55% of the state’s Republican vote. It’s a blow to Haley's campaign, which had [narrowed in]( on Trump’s lead ahead of the primaries but ended up 11% behind. Still, Haley said “this race is far from over” and is looking forward to South Carolina. Meanwhile, Trump said he “couldn't care less” if Haley stays in the game. So it’s going to be Trump vs. Biden? That’s what the betting markets say. Haley still has several contests left, including [South Carolina]( and [Michigan](, before [Super Tuesday]( in March. Also worth noting: early states in the primary calendar, like Iowa and New Hampshire, [don’t always correctly pick]( the GOP nominee. What about Biden? He [wasn’t on the ballot]( last night. That’s because of some [infighting]( between New Hampshire and the Democratic National Committee. The DNC and Biden made South Carolina the [first primary state](, saying it better represents the party’s diverse electorate. But New Hampshire kept its first-in-the-nation primary status, [pointing]( to state law. Democrats settled for a [write-in campaign]( in New Hampshire that gave Biden a win with 52% of the state's Democratic vote but no delegates. theSkimm This was the first direct matchup between Haley and Trump since Gov. Ron DeSantis [dropped out]( of the presidential race. Now, as Trump [makes history]( sweeping both Iowa and NH, the pressure is on Haley to deliver a win.

[Sweden](. Yesterday, Turkey’s parliament approved Sweden’s application to join NATO, bringing it one step closer to membership. After Russia [invaded]( Ukraine, Sweden and Finland decided maybe [now was the time]( to join the world’s largest military alliance. One key obstacle: they had to win over Turkey and Hungary. Both had [grievances]( with the Nordic countries, accusing them of things like providing safe harbor to separatists or criticizing their governments. Still, Finland [got the green light]( to join NATO last year, after working things out with Turkey and Hungary — becoming the first country to join NATO since 2020. Now, Sweden passed a similar hurdle with Turkey and only has Hungary left to win over. That could happen soon: Hungary is inviting Sweden’s prime minister over to “negotiate.” --------------------------------------------------------------- What people are watching… [Gaza](. Yesterday, the Israeli military said it encircled the southern city of Khan Younis, which it called a “significant stronghold” for Hamas. The update comes after more than 20 Israeli soldiers were killed near the Gaza-Israel border, in what Israel called the deadliest day for its forces since the start of the war. Meanwhile, [photojournalist Motaz Azaiza]( said he “had to evacuate” Gaza “for a lot of reasons.” …Oh and, the US said yesterday that it attacked [three locations]( in Iraq used by Iranian-backed militias as a "direct response" to ongoing attacks on American forces in the region. --------------------------------------------------------------- What loves a good plot twist… [Netflix](. Yesterday, the company said it added more than 13 million new subscribers last quarter, beating Wall Street expectations and sending the company stock [soaring](. Looks like the reviews are in: password sharing and ad-supported subscriptions are (so far) helping keep the profitable streaming company’s critics happy.
