Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley plans to stay in the Republican presidential race despite losing her home state’s primary to Donald Trump over the weekend.
“I’m a woman of my word. I’m not giving up this fight when a majority of Americans disapprove of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden,” Haley told her supporters.
Haley said she doesn’t believe Trump can beat Biden and argued that Americans are ready to move on from both.
“One of them calls his fellow Americans fascists. The other calls his fellow Americans vermin. They aren’t fighting for our country’s future. They’re demanding we fight each other,” she said.
The former president held a 30-point polling lead going into the night and the primary was called in his favor almost immediately after polls closed.
Haley has pledged to stay in the race until at least Super Tuesday on March 5, when more than a dozen primary contests take place.
