Nikki Haley announced, on Saturday, her intention to remain in the race to win the Republican Party nomination to run in the US presidential elections, despite her defeat to Donald Trump in the party’s primary elections in South Carolina.
“I will not give up this fight,” Haley told her supporters during a rally in Charleston.
Trump defeated Haley, his last Republican competitor, in the primary elections in South Carolina, according to forecasts broadcast by a number of American media outlets.
Trump’s victory represents a major setback for Haley, who embodies a more moderate wing of the Republican Party, especially since the elections took place in the state where she was governor for six years.
Thus, Trump continues his series of victories, bringing him closer to obtaining the Republican Party nomination to run in the US presidential elections for the third time in a row and competing once more once morest President Joe Biden, who belongs to the Democratic Party.
This result was not surprising, as one opinion poll following another showed Trump significantly ahead of his rival.
This victory will reinforce calls from Trump’s allies for Haley, Trump’s last remaining competitor, to withdraw from the election race.
Trump has dominated all five contests that have taken place so far in the states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, the US Virgin Islands, and now in the state to which Haley belongs, leaving almost no room for her to obtain the Republican nomination.
Haley, who served as ambassador to the United Nations under Trump, insists that she will continue her campaign until at least “Super Tuesday” on March 5, when Republicans cast their votes in 15 American states and territories.
