Nikki Haley endorses Rubio
http://www.dnaindia.com/world/report-us-presidential-elections-2016-nikki-haley-backs-marco-rubio-2179030(From the Indian press so some of the things explained are pretty obvious to Americans...)
Indian-American South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has endorsed Marco Rubio which will give a major boost to the Florida Senator's presidential ambition ahead of the state's pivotal Republican primary.
"I wanted somebody with fight. I wanted somebody with passion. I wanted somebody that had conviction to do the right thing, but I wanted somebody humble enough that remembers that you work for all the people," Haley said yesterday at Chapin in South Carolina as she announced to endorse Rubio for president.
"I wanted somebody that was going to go and show my parents that the best decision they ever made for their children was coming to America. We say that every day is a great day in South Carolina. Ladies and gentlemen, if we elect Marco Rubio, every day will be a great day in America!" Haley said.
The two-term Republican governor of South Carolina is considered to be a highly popular Republican leader in the country and a potential vice presidential pick. However, if Rubio bags the party's nomination she is unlikely to be on his ticket because the two leaders are from the same region of the country and both of their parents are immigrants.
