Haley vows to stay in race no matter the results in South Carolina

Republican presidential candidate former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley gives a speech on the state of her campaign on Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2024, in Greenville, S.C. South Carolinians will head to the polls Saturday in the latest test of former President Donald Trump’s stranglehold over the Republican party in the state’s primary contest with former Gov. Nikki Haley remaining as his only challenger.

“This primary is about Trump. It's less about Republican policy, it's a lot about Trump,” said Danielle Vinson, a political science professor at Furman University. “Haley is gonna lose — the question is by how much — and I don't think that that necessarily says any as much about her as it says about Republican support for Trump.”

She has also tried to reach out to South Carolinians who didn’t vote in the Feb. 3 Democratic primary to attract crossover support from people who want to vote against Trump. The state’s election laws allow voters to cast a ballot in either primary regardless of their affiliation. “We won’t bore you with the reams of data that show an ass-kicking in the making in South Carolina, but we will show you the very serious math problem Nikki Haley has. This is the diagnosis she refuses to accept: The end is near,” Trump’s campaign said in a memo on Tuesday.
