Olivia Perez-Cubas, a spokeswoman for the campaign, expressed confidence in Haley’s ability to perform well in the Palmetto State. Perez-Cubas noted the former governor served two terms in office, managing to reduce taxes, increase jobs, and battle illegal immigration.
The race to 1,215 delegates
To date, Haley has 17 delegates, while Trump carries 32. In recent campaign remarks, the former UN ambassador has gone after the media and political elites for encouraging a “coronation” of Trump.
Following last night’s New Hampshire primary, Haley made it clear she’s sticking in the race, citing it as “far from over.” On social media, supporters of the former South Carolina governor warned despite Trump’s current lead in the primary, he won’t manage to make it across the finish line without Haley’s voters in the general election.
Much of Haley’s base is comprised of not just Republicans who’ve soured on Trump, but also moderates and Independents, many of whom express unwillingness to vote for the former president in November.
