Nikki Haley does not throw in the towel and continues raising funds in her race against Trump

The Republican candidate Nikki Haley, who yesterday suffered a resounding defeat in her home state, South Carolina, is not throwing in the towel, and today he once again asked his supporters for funds to be able to finance the primary race at least until the decisive March 5, the Super Tuesday where more than 800 party delegates are decided.

In a long message sent this morning by SMS to his followers, he announced that today he is going to Michigan – the next state to hold primaries – and then prepares for Super Tuesday.

“But for this I need your help to finance my battle. Can you send a generous donation today to help me pay for this next critical leg?” the message reads, insisting that he continues to see “frustration” in the state and across the country, and that America “will be broken if we take the wrong decisions.

A little later, Their marketing strategists put on sale a T-shirt with a very simple slogan: “No fear.” and on the sleeves the name of the candidate and the national flag.

“In America we have elections, not coronations,” Haley said in that message, referring to all the voices asking her to abandon the race in the face of the almost absolute certainty that Donald Trump will win it by a great margin.

The final results from South Carolina have finally given 47 delegates to Trump and only 3 to Haley, so that so far the difference is 110 delegates against 20, and the media highlights today that Haley was theoretically playing on favorite ground in Carolina del Sur (where she was not only born and raised, but was governor from 2011 to 2017).

In the next few states, according to almost all the media, the Republican electorate is much more favorable to Trump, and Haley could only trust – almost desperately – in those states where the legislation allows people outside the Republican Party to vote, as happened yesterday in South Carolina (and even then, she only won in two districts, the most urban).

Trump tones down but overrules Haley

One of the details that last night What was striking was the measured tone that Donald Trump used to celebrate his victory in South Carolina: he neither called Haley ‘Nimbra’ – making fun of her first name, Nimarata Nikki – nor did he offend her, but it was almost more insulting: he did not refer to her in any way, he ignored her completely, which did not go unnoticed by anyone.

That Trump considers Haley amortized is demonstrated again by his latest posts on his Truth Social network: today he has only written two messages comparing himself to Joe Biden, without the slightest allusion to his immediate rival who is still in the race.

The New York Times interprets this new tone from Trump as a sign that he is going to try to reach out to moderate voters, those who share his ideas detest the former president’s rude or rude tone, “a vengeful and bully tone,” as Haley defines it.

In fact, many people consulted by EFE in South Carolina and who declared themselves voters of Haley do not object so much to Trump’s policies, but rather to his style and unpredictable character.

Now that Haley’s candidacy is almost anecdotal, all eyes are on who will be Trump’s grill partner, the call to be vice president if he wins the presidential election in November, and many are betting precisely on a moderate profile that smoothes the edges of one of the most divisive politicians the United States has produced.
