There are no wins on the horizon for Nikki Haley. Those close to the former United Nations ambassador, the last major Republican candidate standing in Donald Trump's path to the GOP's 2024 presidential nomination, are privately bracing for a blowout loss in her home state's primary election in South Carolina on Saturday. And they cannot name a state where she is likely to beat Trump in the coming weeks. But ahead of a major address on Tuesday, Haley told The Associated Press that she will not leave the Republican primary election regardless of Saturday's result. And backed by the strongest fundraising numbers of her political career, she vowed to stay in the fight against Trump at least until after Super Tuesday's slate of more than a dozen contests on March 5. “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% of the vote,” Haley said. “What is the rush? Why is everybody so panicked about me having to get out of this race?” "I refuse to quit,” Haley later told a small collection of supporters gathered in South Carolina in a speech outlining her rationale for staying in. “South Carolina will vote on Saturday. But on Sunday, I’ll still be running for president. I’m not going anywhere.” #Politics #Election #News READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/politics/national-politics/nikki-haley-vows-to-keep-fighting-donald-trump/101-ea361685-cc49-4e16-a17a-88364d611e33
