Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley isn’t letting a little loss in her home state of South Carolina get her down. Nope, she’s rallying and raring to go, telling Michigan Republicans that she’s the one and only GOP presidential candidate who can take down President Joe Biden in the 2024 election. That’s right, she’s not holding back, folks.
In Troy, Haley makes her "40% argument": "He, as a Republican incumbent, didn’t get 40% of the vote of the primary… Why should the 40% have to cave to him?" https://t.co/GncldXvnt9

Haley made it clear to the crowd in Troy, Michigan that she’s the real deal, the candidate who can win both the primary and the general election. She’s not afraid to call out former President Donald Trump’s big win in South Carolina, either. She pointed out that sure, Trump won the South Carolina primary, but as a Republican incumbent, he didn’t even snag 40% of the vote. Haley’s not shy about reminding folks that Trump’s tactics might not be the ticket to victory.
She didn’t stop there, though. Oh no. Haley went on to blast Biden for his support of electric vehicles, especially in a state like Michigan where car manufacturers are king. She argued that folks should have the freedom to choose what vehicles they drive and questioned why taxpayer money was being funneled into electric cars, especially when a majority of the batteries are made in China. She’s not afraid to speak her mind, that’s for sure.
But let’s not forget about her loss in South Carolina. Despite the setback, Haley managed to raise a cool $1 million in just 24 hours. Not too shabby, if you ask her. And despite Americans for Prosperity pulling the plug on funding for her campaign, she’s not throwing in the towel. No way, no how. She sees her loss as just another step in the grand scheme of things and plans to keep on trucking through Michigan and beyond.
Michigan’s Republican delegates have some decisions to make in the upcoming primary, and Haley is gearing up for one last stop in the Great Lakes State before hitting up the Super Tuesday states of Colorado, Minnesota, and Utah. The road to the White House is long and winding, but Nikki Haley is ready to hit the gas and go full speed ahead.
