Haley delivered a defiant address during a Tuesday afternoon event her campaign dubbed a “State of the Race“ speech, declaring the Republican primary contest far from over.
Despite months of less than promising polling and pressure from the “political elite,” former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley said she will not end her run for the White House until the race is finished.
Haley delivered a defiant address during a Tuesday afternoon event her campaign dubbed a “State of the Race” speech, declaring the Republican primary contest far from over.
“I refuse to quit. South Carolina will vote on Saturday. But on Sunday, I’ll still be running for president. I’m not going anywhere. I’m campaigning every day, until the last person votes, because I believe in a better America and a brighter future for our kids,” she said from Clemson University’s Greenville campus.
Only three states have held a party primary or caucus thus far, Haley noted, though she didn’t win any of them. South Carolina’s primary this weekend will make four, she pointed out. Polling suggests she will lose that race as well, despite serving two terms as the state’s governor.
In response to calls for her to end the race and throw her support behind Trump’s run against Biden, Haley said that voters in the dozens of states who have yet to cast a ballot should have their say in who takes on the 46th President in November.
