'Far from over': Nikki Haley vows to stay in race after losing to Trump in New Hampshire

CONCORD, N.H. – A defiant Nikki Haley resisted calls to end her campaign and promised to keep fighting on Tuesday after suffering back-to-back losses to former President Donald Trump in her bid to capture the GOP nomination for president.

“This race is far from over,” Haley told her supporters after Trump was declared the winner of New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary.

Haley's vow to stay in the race came two days after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis quit his campaign and threw his support behind Trump – the latest in a long line of endorsements the former president has collected. In New Hampshire, Haley was trailing Trump 55% to 44% with three-quarters of the vote counted. Her odds in her home state of South Carolina, where Trump is hugely popular, are even more daunting.

But Haley and her supporters insist there is still a pathway for her to capture the GOP nomination. Polls show her defeating President Joe Biden in November – and performing much better against Biden than Trump. Her campaign argues she can pick off independent or uncommitted voters who are turned off by both Biden and Trump and are allowed to vote in open primaries in several states.
