Why is Nikki Haley Staying in the Presidential Race?
I don’t understand the point.
As expected, Donald Trump won the New Hampshire primary.
Trump won 54% of the vote, and following Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ decision to drop out, Nikki Haley came in second with 43%. So, unfortunately unsurprisingly, Trump followed his historic victory in Iowa with a double digit victory in the state of New Hampshire.
At this point, it seems silly to think that there’s any chance the nomination belongs to anyone other than Donald Trump.
So, shouldn’t we then ask ourselves why Nikki Haley is staying in the race?
NBC News reports:
“…Haley, who performed well among self-identified moderates, has vowed that the race is not over, and she will hold a rally this evening in Charleston, South Carolina. She is also running new ads in the state ahead of its primary next month…”
At some point, you have to wonder when these politicians are going to determine that the humiliation is no longer worth it. This isn’t even a race right now, and for whatever reason it seems like Nikki Haley is just unwilling to accept it. Ultimately, at the end of the day, it feels as though much like it did with Ron DeSantis, the campaign of Nikki Haley is simply living on borrowed…
