As Trump prevails, why is Nikki Haley still in the race?
Newsy
The GOP presidential hopeful is offering herself as an alternative to former President Donald Trump: "We need a young, new generational leader."
In the general election, people are given a choice. In the primaries, people make a choice.
That was Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s message to the crowd Monday in a half-filled ballroom in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan. The presidential hopeful made a trip to West Michigan just one day before the state's primary.
In her eyes, a vote for Nikki Haley is a vote for normalcy, and more importantly, she said, it’s not a vote for Donald Trump.
Trump remains undefeated in primary elections up to this point, including taking a victory in South Carolina, Haley's home state. Still, Haley's campaign cup remains half-full.
“It is an alarm bell to the Republican Party that he has lost 40% of the vote in all the early states," she said. "You can’t win a general election if you can’t win 40% of the votes in a Republican primary. It’s a fact."
