Haley Faces Even Steeper Odds Beyond South Carolina Primary | The New York Sun "With the South Carolina primary Saturday and Ambassador Nikki Haley vowing to stay in the race beyond that vote, it looks like the road after South Carolina might be even more unfavorable for the former governor.
"The most recent polling on South Carolina from Suffolk University and USA Today shows Ms. Haley trailing President Trump 35 percent to 63 percent in her home state, meaning that even if Ms. Haley outperforms expectations, she’s still likely to lose in a state where she served as governor.
"On Tuesday, Ms. Haley struck a defiant tone at an event in South Carolina, saying that she would campaign “until the last person votes” and pointing out that after Saturday, only four states will have voted." . . .
Trump haters spin Nikki Haley’s SC loss as a victory, but her backers know the truth - Andrea Widburg . . ."Gavin Newsom, the smarmy, hard-left, but not stupid California governor, certainly views Haley as a Democrat asset:
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said Friday that GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley is among his party’s best surrogates on the campaign trail, as she seeks to take down former President Trump in the Republican primary.
“I think she’s one of our better surrogates, so I hope she stays in. I hope she does well tomorrow — at least, well enough,” Newsom said, referring to the GOP South Carolina primary, after CNN’s Jake Tapper asked whether Haley or Trump had a better chance against President Biden in November.
Newsom, a staunch supporter of Biden, added that he agreed with most of the attacks Haley has made on the former president.
“I think she’s spot on, on 99 percent of it,” he said. “So, I’m enjoying this primary. And I hope it continues, so I wish her luck.”
"For now, Republicans are stuck with Haley. It’s unfortunate, but that’s the reality we’re in."
Big Ugly Shift - Koch Network Drops Haley Support, Retreats to Senate Decepticon Alamo . . ."As a candidate Nikki Haley has always represented the effort of the corporate republican establishment. The corporate republican network who thrives on the status quo have used Ron DeSantis and then Nikki Haley in their effort to rid themselves of the problem represented by Trump and the MAGA base of economically minded voters and supporters. However, both efforts have failed against the scale of the MAGA movement. MAGA is the Republican party now, and the corporate republican world has been dragged to the inflection point. " . . .
Nikki Haley Refuses to Drop Out of Presidential Race Despite Landslide Loss in Her Home State › American Greatness . . . "In every primary thus far, President Trump has broken previous historical records and won more votes than ever before: In both Iowa and Nevada, he set the records for the highest vote totals ever received by the winner of the Republican caucuses in those states. In the cases of New Hampshire and South Carolina, he broke the records for the highest vote totals received by the winner of any presidential primary in those states, from either party. The previous record-high in South Carolina was George W. Bush’s 300,000 in 2000; President Trump received over 450,000 votes in Saturday’s primary.
"The next contest in the Republican primary season is Michigan, which votes on Tuesday. Polls overwhelmingly project that President Trump will win a landslide in the state, which was crucial to his victory in 2016 and is still seen as crucial to any path to the presidency in November. The next primaries will be in Idaho, Missouri, Washington D.C., and North Dakota, before the highly-anticipated Super Tuesday contests on March 5th, where 15 states will cast their votes.". . .
