Nikki Haley: Trump Can’t Win Because He ‘Drives People Away’
HuffPost
The former South Carolina governor isn’t quitting the 2024 race despite Saturday’s primary loss to Donald Trump.
CHARLESTON, S.C. — An embarrassing home-state loss won’t deter former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley from standing in the way of Donald Trump’s romp to the GOP presidential nomination — at least, for now.
Addressing supporters at an election night watch party on Saturday night, Haley reiterated that she planned to stay in the race because she thought Trump would lose in November.
“I don’t believe Donald Trump can beat Joe Biden,” she continued, making the case that her performance so far foreshadows problems for Trump’s general election campaign.
Haley’s unofficial vote share is still in flux, however. She was projected to have won roughly 39% of ballots cast as of 9:30 p.m. ET.
“Nearly every day Trump drives people away,” she said. “Today we’re getting 40 percent of the vote. That’s about what we got in New Hampshire. I know 40 percent isn’t 50 percent. I also know 40 percent is not some tiny group. There are a huge number of voters in our Republican primary who want an alternative.”
