Nikki Haley hits out at GOP’s favouritism towards Donald Trump

Published

on

Nikki Haley, a contender in the 2024 Republican presidential primary, has announced her intention to stay in the race at least until Super Tuesday.

The decision comes in the wake of her criticism of the Republican National Committee (RNC) for allegedly favoring former President Donald Trump.

 

Haley, who previously served as the US ambassador to the United Nations under Trump’s administration, expressed confidence in her prospects, particularly in her home state of South Carolina, as she seeks to rebound from less-than-stellar performances in the Iowa Republican caucus and last week’s New Hampshire primary.

During an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, Haley stated, “I think I need to do better than I did in New Hampshire. So this is a building situation.”

Super Tuesday

While she stopped short of committing to remain in the race through the Republican nominating convention in July, she emphasised her determination to participate in Super Tuesday.

“I have every intention of going to Super Tuesday,” she affirmed. “I take it one state at a time. I don’t think too far ahead, but I’m not going anywhere.”

Haley’s criticism extended to the RNC, which she accused of not being an impartial arbiter in the Republican primary race.

Last week, following Trump’s victory in New Hampshire, RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel suggested that Trump’s dominance within the party was set to increase, urging Republicans to unite behind Trump as the eventual nominee.

McDaniel notably told Fox News, “I don’t see it for Nikki Haley.”

Presumptive nominee

The RNC had also floated a proposal, later withdrawn, to declare Trump as the “presumptive nominee.”

However, Trump weighed in on Thursday, using his social media platform to discourage the RNC from pursuing the resolution, emphasizing the importance of party unity and stating his desire to “finish the process off AT THE BALLOT BOX.”

As Nikki Haley continues to campaign in the Republican primary race, the GOP faces an internal struggle over the role and influence of former President Donald Trump, setting the stage for a dynamic and closely-watched contest in the lead-up to Super Tuesday and beyond.

Biden urges calm after election upset

U.S. President Joe Biden is calling on Americans to “bring down the temperature” after Donald Trump’s stunning return to the presidency.

Speaking to Democrats shaken by Vice President Kamala Harris’ defeat, Biden urged, “Setbacks are unavoidable. Giving up is unforgivable.”

He praised the election as proof of America’s strong and trustworthy electoral system, stressing that it remains “honest, fair, and transparent.”

Biden extended an invitation to President-elect Trump to meet at the White House—a gesture Trump himself had not extended in 2020.

Meanwhile, Trump’s team confirms he plans to meet with Biden soon, as he begins building his leadership team.

Some Democrats say Biden, now 81, may have hurt Harris’ chances by initially seeking re-election, only dropping his bid after a difficult TV debate in July.
