South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley may be in for a tough ride as she faces off against former President Donald Trump in the upcoming state’s Republican primary. Recent polling indicates that she could be looking at a major loss in her own home state, with Trump leading by a whopping 20 points or more. Ouch!

According to Politico, more than a dozen GOP operatives have weighed in on Haley’s potential defeat, and they seem to think she only has herself to blame. It looks like Haley may have forgotten about the little guys in favor of national politics, and now it’s coming back to bite her. Talk about a classic case of shooting yourself in the foot.
And it’s not just the operatives who are piling on the criticism. Even former GOP officials are coming out of the woodwork to call out Haley for neglecting her relationships with South Carolina Republicans. One former head of the Columbia Tea Party even went so far as to say that Haley “abandoned” them. Yikes!
But Haley’s campaign isn’t ready to throw in the towel just yet. They’re hoping to drum up support from Republicans who typically sit out the primary but will likely vote in November. It’s a bold strategy, but will it be enough to turn the tide? Only time will tell.
It looks like the political landscape in South Carolina is heating up, and Haley is caught in the middle of it all. With the primary just around the corner, it’s anyone’s guess how this will play out. As they say in politics, expect the unexpected.
One thing’s for sure: This race is far from over, and it’s shaping up to be one for the history books. All eyes will be on South Carolina as Haley and Trump go head-to-head. Get your popcorn ready, folks!
