Haley vows to remain in race ‘as long as we are competitive’

With Super Tuesday just days away, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley vowed to stay in the race “as long as it’s competitive.”

“I’ve always said this requires a competitive edge. As long as we’re competitive, as long as we’re showing that there’s a place for us, I’m going to keep fighting. That’s always been the case. That’s it,” she said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” when asked if she would stay until Super Tuesday.

Despite failing to win any of the early primary states so far, Haley remains in the race until Super Tuesday as she is the only viable challenger to former President Trump. continues to adhere to. Trump has already won 192 delegates, while Haley is far behind with 24 delegates, according to Decision Desk Headquarters.

The Republican Party needs 1,215 delegates to win the presidential nomination. Primaries will be held in 16 states and American Samoa on Super Tuesday, but as of March 5, no candidate is expected to win enough delegates to win the nomination.

NBC’s Kristen Welker then asked if Haley planned to stay on until the Republican presidential convention, but the former South Carolina governor declined to give a definitive answer.

“If people want to see me move forward, they’ll show it. They’ll show it with votes. They’ll show it with donations. They want us to move forward. “We’re going to show that by the fact that we want it to continue. This is trying to make everyone understand that this primary is not about Donald Trump and Nikki Haley.” .

The Hill/Decision Desk’s national Republican primary poll average shows Trump leading Haley by about 65 points as the former U.N. ambassador looks to expand her support by Tuesday.
