“Don’t go anywhere” – Haley won’t give up on Trump

Anyone who wants to become a presidential candidate in the US must first achieve victory in the party’s internal primaries. Of the Republican presidential candidates, only Haley and Trump remain. In national polls, Trump has a huge lead over Haley. The former American president also clearly won the first two primaries in the states of Iowa and New Hampshire. Haley therefore has little chance to ultimately gain the upper hand over Trump.

Gloomy predictions despite home field advantage in South Carolina
The next important milestone in the race will be the Republican primaries at the end of February in the state of South Carolina. Haley was governor there. But even in the conservative southern state, Trump leads by a wide margin, despite Haley’s home field advantage. Still, she came across as combative in the CNN interview, pointing out that in recent months she had worked her way up from single-digit polling to clearly double-digit primary polls. She also wants to make up for the deficit in South Carolina.

Trump supporters have long been pushing for Haley to withdraw from the race, given the former president’s dominance. Some observers had expected her to declare bankruptcy relatively quickly after the New Hampshire election more than a week ago to avoid embarrassment in her native South Carolina.
