“There has never been a spirit like this,” Trump said at his election night party in Columbia. “I have never seen the Republican Party so unified.” And when GOP primary voters who backed Haley were asked if Biden legitimately won the 2020 election, 79% said yes and just 11% said no. Among Trump voters, those numbers were flipped entirely, as just 11% said yes and 88% said no.

Speaking at her election night party in Charleston, Haley reiterated that she is fighting on, saying,"I'm grateful that today is not the end of our story."

Ralph Norman, R-S.C., Haley’s lone congressional endorser, predicted ahead of Saturday that Haley would “outperform” those surveys. “I can only assume, and I think what a lot of people only assume, is that you would only stay in if you were banking on possibly the least democratic and least American thing happening in this situation, which is that potentially one of these indictments takes Donald Trump out,” she said.
