Former South Carolina governor says imminent loss in her home state this weekend won’t determine whether she stays in race.
Neocon GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley says she has no intention of dropping out of the 2024 race even if she suffers a stinging defeat at the hands of Donald Trump in her home state of South Carolina.
Anticipating calls for her withdrawal, the former South Carolina governor declared Tuesday that the upcoming primary results in the state on Saturday night won’t determine whether she stays in the race.
“That’s why I refuse to quit. South Carolina will vote on Saturday — and on Sunday I will still be running for president. I’m not going anywhere,” Haley declared at a speech in Greenville.

Elsewhere in her remarks, Haley claimed she wasn’t afraid of Trump’s “retribution.”
“I feel no need to kiss the ring. I have no fear of Trump’s retribution. I’m not looking for anything from him. My own political future is of zero concern,” Haley said, addressing sentiments that continuing the race would be political suicide.

A Suffolk University/USA TODAY poll Tuesday found voters in South Carolina support Trump 63%-35% over Haley, roughly a 2-1 margin.
According to Axios, Haley plans to stay in the race until Super Tuesday, even if she loses all 14 of the upcoming state primaries until then.
Haley’s defiant posturing comes in the wake of a humiliating defeat in the Nevada Republican primary where she was outvoted by the “None of these candidates” option on the state’s ballot.
