Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley asserts she won’t withdraw from the race despite trailing Trump in South Carolina polls.
THE HILL
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said she will not drop out of the race regardless of the results of Saturday’s South Carolina primary, even as polls show her trailing former President Trump by a large margin in her home state.
Haley told The Associated Press in an interview that she will remain in the race for the GOP nomination at least until Super Tuesday, March 5, when more than a dozen states will hold their primaries and caucuses.
She noted that most states have not yet held their contests and many will vote shortly after South Carolina.
“Ten days after South Carolina, another 20 states vote. I mean, this isn’t Russia. We don’t want someone to go in and just get 99 percent of the vote,” Haley said. “What is the rush? Why is everybody so panicked about me having to get out of this race?”
