In an emotional address on Tuesday, Haley declared, “I refuse to quit.”
Ahead of a major speech on Tuesday, Haley told The Associated Press that she’s staying in the race no matter what at least until after another 20 states vote through Super Tuesday on March 5.
“Donald Trump is a pretend patriot. He only cares about himself,” said Robert Schwartz, Primary Pivot co-founder.
“Could you imagine when you sit at the dinner table and you don’t have to argue over politics? Could you imagine where you can go to your job and say your views and not have to worry about being demoted? Can you imagine where we don’t have this chaos and this anger and this division on sides hating each other and we just remembered what it means to be Americans again? And the values that made us great? If you don’t want that for yourself, lets at least do that for our kids,” she says.
Nikki Haley is using the closing days of her South Carolina Republican primary matchup with Donald Trump to hone her argument that she is the lone remaining candidate who can unite Americans, despite the former president’s electoral wins thus far and his popularity in her home state.
Four years after South Carolina removed the Confederate battle flag from its Statehouse grounds, Nikki Haley offered two separate explanations of the flag’s meaning in less than a week.
Republican Presidential Candidate and Former SC Governor Nikki Haley made a return to her home state on Thursday afternoon.
For South Carolina’s conservatives, deciding whether Nikki Haley ’s record warrants a promotion to the Oval Office seems less about her experience and abilities and more about the man standing in her way: Donald Trump.
“If she wins, this is huge. Even if she loses but comes within five or six points, that’s still huge. That carries her at least to South Carolina, probably to Super Tuesday. And that’s what she’s hoping for. Even if she’s limping, if she can limp into Super Tuesday, that might be enough to jump start things, but she has to have a strong showing tonight,” he says.
Donald Trump has picked up another endorsement from Nikki Haley’s home state of South Carolina, with Rep. Nancy Mace backing the former president in this year’s GOP presidential primary.
