The candidate for President of the U.S for the Republican party Nikki Haley remained provocative when defending her campaign after her competitor, donald trump to say, this Tuesday morning (5), that “there was no way” for her to be nominated.
“I don’t know why everyone is so adamant about following Trump’s example to get me out of this race. You know, all these people deserve to vote. Sixteen states want their voices to be heard”, she argued, in an interview with Fox News.
While Haley has appealed to independent voters in states with open primaries, she rejected the notion that she is counting only on them and some Democratic voters to bolster her campaign.
Pointing to South Carolina — where “less than 5% of the people who voted for me were Democrats” — Haley said the people who attend her rallies are “not anti-anything” but rather “pro-America.”
This weekend, the candidate suggested that she was no longer bound by the Republican National Committee's loyalty pledge to support the eventual nominee.
A Fox News, she said she wasn't changing her mind. “I didn’t think about that,” she began. “This is not a decision I should make today. The convention won't be until July. We have 16 states voting today and so we want these 16 states to vote.”
“I didn't hear him promise that he would support me if I won, so I don't know why I have to promise him that I would support him,” she continued.
The former governor of South Carolina, however, reiterated that she would not run on a third-party No Labels ticket, “because I’m a Republican and I’ve always been that way.”
