Former US ambassador to the United Nations and Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has made it clear that she is not dropping out of the race despite facing tough competition. She made the remarks in a “State of the Race” address in Greenville, South Carolina, just days ahead of the Republican primary in the state.
Haley, the first female Governor of South Carolina, asserted, “When the country’s future is on the line, you don’t drop out. You keep fighting. In fact, you fight harder than ever. That’s why I refuse to quit.” She delivered the speech at Clemson University at Greenville ONE, emphasizing her determination to continue running for President even after the South Carolina vote.
The candidate, who served as Governor of South Carolina from 2011 to 2017, is aiming to challenge former President Donald Trump in the presidential race. With the primary just days away, she emphasized that the presidential primaries have only just begun, and that there are still several states and territories yet to vote.
Haley criticized both President Joe Biden and Trump for allegedly turning people against each other and dividing the country, stating that the country “desperately, urgently, needs a uniter.” She highlighted the need to restore a strong and proud country and emphasized her commitment to staying in the race despite the challenges.
As the race intensifies, Haley’s determination to continue competing for the Republican presidential nomination signals her ambition to take on formidable opponents in the months ahead. Her resolve to fight for the presidency showcases the competitive nature of the Republican primary.
