nikki haley. and of course, we checked in on how are you going to feel with the results here, if indeed trump wins the nomination 72% of republican voters say they're going to be satisfied 27% say dissatisfied i will note among haley voters 76% will be dissatisfied if trump's the nominee. now, what about nikki haley, if she wins the nomination, 41% say they would be satisfied overall, those voting in the south carolina republican primary today, 57%, nearly 6.10, will be dissatisfied hi, if nikki haley is the nominee, j. >> all right. david chalian fascinating stuff. well, if i were donald trump, dana bash, abby, phillip, and manu raju, i would look at those exit poll numbers and i think i might even be having a better night than i thought i was going to have. >> yeah. and look, there's no question in anybody's mind either in the trump campaign or in the haley campaign? or in anybody pretty much on planet earth right now, who doesn't think that he is going to have a good night in south carolina. yo

caller: i voted for nikki haley.d everything, your prayer guest, i feel exactly as he does as far as what has been going on. if nikki haley were president, i do not have to worry about that she would tear down the guardrails of law and put in her children, and i just do not think this country will survive another trump presidency. i think it would become something that people would not like. host: macy's thoughts in charleston. a few voted for republicans your whole life? caller: i have voted for both republicans and democrats. i put more for the person that i do most of the time anything else. host: so why did you vote in today's republican primary and not in the south carolina democratic primary earlier this month? caller: will, -- well, because i would like to see a sane republican again, and i actually miss being able to talk to people sanely. it seems like they are stuck in one mode, and they are so stuck in what they believe that you cannot even have a rational discussion anymore. host: ok, macy's thoughts in s

and would vote for nikki haley if nikki haley was the nominee? my knee but they're not going to be that big of a part of this primary. a lot of the polling showed that folks who are liberals and moderates very much prefer nikki haley, but maybe there'll be ten to 2010 to 15% or something of the electorate here. but by enlarge, it is trump country in south carolina and listen, nikki haley has every right to continue, as she said, she would in that sort of that prebuttal speech she gave earlier last week, she's got money, as gloria said, but the problem is, if you can't win at home, right in a state that you one of a governorship of twice, if you can't win there with people who know you best then how do you win down the line? super tuesday is coming up in a weaker so many, many delegates up, i think something like 800 or up. how does she go forward and make the case to folks in states like michigan? given that it's march 5. exactly. so i think she's got a real a hard row to hoe going forward, but she'll stay in and listen. she'll continue to critiq

nikki haley at 42%.o do better than what i did in new hampshire so he will come down real-time tonight in south carolina and for the record, she is doing slightly better, 43% as of this moment with a lot of not vote still out there included this one right here, you see the gray on the map, purple haze to show you, this is the remaining vote. the deeper the purple you see on the map behind me, the more vote is still out there. cisa state, this is greenville month the number one paralytic county and the entire state and right now there's nothing in from greenville so we've got a ways to go. whether or not we can say nikki haley hold onto that 42%. >> let's explain to folks why we can make that production at 7:00 o'clock. polls close, we had all of our data, just starting to come in. it was so massive the spread. >> without our folks in the field for five days in south carolina and taking the polls of 2000 tello carolinians and we go back and contact them repeatedly find out whether or not they are firm in

haley. can be sent haley? yeah, she's going.end into michigan to pull voters away from the republican side of the ballot and the runner. >> steve kornacki, i'm only going to you because i just want to, again, my fastidiousness, just calling me here, because she said 40%, which we are all quoting that number. and again, rounding, that's where we're at. i just want to make sure that we haven't gone down to 29, and she's run a donald trump on us, and we're out of the actual number. quickly, where are we right now? we're at 38.7. >> yeah, that's what you're seeing. 22 point lead for donald trump. little bit less than two thirds is in statewide. just look here and say what the biggest outstanding, where we have the biggest outstanding vote. okay, so three counties to point to right now. the biggest single source of outstanding vote is in greenville county. this is in the upstate. this is probably the biggest -- you know, you think of the upstate, maybe as not as big, but actually, population wise, it is. this is a place we've got a l

trump. 25% supporting governor haley. white evangelicals, 75% giving their support to the former president versus 24% for nikki haley. just those who identify as republicans, 73% of those saying they voted for mr. trump, 26% for nikki haley in those exit polls. breaks it down a little more as far as certain categories when it comes to yesterday's events. when it's those who identified what they described as a candidate who fights for them, 91% of those casting votes yesterday in the primary saying they voted for former president trump, only 8% for nikki haley. for those who say they didn't think president biden won in 2020, 88% of votes casting their vote for former president trump, 1 is 1% for nikki haley. immigration, saying it's the most important issue, 82% saying their vote went to the former president, versus nikki haley at 17%. and then for those looking and favoring national abortion ban, 81% of those giving their vote to mr. trump, 19% for nikki haley. it's his fourth state victory, us winning the u.s. virgin isl

haley. can we sent haley? yeah, she's going.n to pull voters away from the republican side of the ballot and the runner. >> steve kornacki, i'm only going to you because i just want to, again, my fastidiousness, just calling me here, because she said 40%, which we are all quoting that number. and again, rounding, that's where we're at. i just want to make sure that we haven't gone down to 29, and she's run a donald trump on us, and we're out of the actual number. quickly, where are we right now? we're at 38. 7. >> yeah, that's what you're seeing. 22 point lead for donald trump. little bit less than two thirds is in statewide. just look here and see what the biggest outstanding, where we have the biggest outstanding vote. okay, so three counties to point to right now. the biggest single source of outstanding vote is in greenville county. this is in the upstate. this is probably the biggest -- you know, you think of the upstate, maybe as not as big, but actually, population wise, it is. this is a place we've got a lot of outstandi

nikki haley won about 54%., and the democrats. >> do you mean the sneaker -- >> or donald, trump the democrats are not coming out to the woodwork. my, what was happening? >> i mean, i am shocked, i am shocked that the sneakers didn't work. no, i mean look listen, i think that the idea that there was going to be some new swath of black voters, that we're going to donald trump, but in general defecting, i think that has been overblown. i think there is obviously a lot of very cynical people who have been trying to say that the republicans some how have a strategy around black voters, that the democrats don't have, that democrats have been taken for granted. but i think look, we are looking at people who have records, right. the black community has seen what donald trump did, and they are voting accordingly. we have record low unemployment for black people in the country under joe biden. people see what is happening, or these policies actually mean. and the votes that we are seeing reflect that. >> olivia, i am ju

nikki haley is less popular than him even being the former governor. people rarely switch between parties for practical reasons. he has a 50 point lead in south carolina. she is only winning with people consider themselves democrats or independents and 130 up -- 130,000 of them just came out for the democratic primary. there isn't effort and less money involved to turn away people who are not traditional republicans are nikki haley. if you are a democrat in south carolina and you remember nikki haley 10 years ago, whether she was a tea party governor or a conservative icon the party before trump, convincing you to turn around and vote strategically for her to slow down trump has been tough. she's been campaigning harder than trump in the state when making little progress in the polls. host: one of the papers say is one thing that may be working against her she is more competitive against the former president. guest: that's right, there is no good way to attack donald trump and get republicans to keep liking you. whoever has attacked him has seen a coll

nikki haley at 42%. to do better than what i did in new hampshire so he will come down real-time tonight in south carolina and for the record, she is doing slightly better, 43% as of this moment with a lot of not vote still out there included this one right here, you see the gray on the map, purple haze to show you, this is the remaining vote. the deeper the purple you see on the map behind me, the more vote is still out there. cisa state, this is greenville month the number one paralytic county and the entire state and right now there's nothing in from greenville so we've got a ways to go. whether or not we can say nikki haley hold onto that 42%. >> let's explain to folks why we can make that production at 7:00 o'clock. polls close, we had all of our data, just starting to come in. it was so massive the spread. >> without our folks in the field for five days in south carolina and taking the polls of 2000 tello carolinians and we go back and contact them repeatedly find out whether or not they are firm i

to haley's 39%.coverage from across south carolina in the white house begins with alex half in columbia with the term campaign. >> good to be with you, we are with them but the party has shut down, this was an early night and there is little suspense in the room and jumped election headquarters here, a lot of enthusiasm and competence and we have seen the confidence for several weeks now. a former president has been in the date on and off not dedicating nearly as much time as his opponent, the former president took the stage minutes after polls close to a lot of enthusiasm and call it an early night but fantastic one thing the republican party has never been more unified. auto hillary supporters are saying that but that's what he said and he maintained one 100% focused right now is campaign on the general election and the president said this about the states he seeks to conquer next. >> michigan is coming up, we are doing great, autoworkers will be with us one 100%. they got sold out by this country

and nikki haley stands alone. and i think it's worth pointing out that of those three and you wouldn't have known any of the stuff at the time, nikki haley is of those three, she's john more principle and more strength in, at least in the past few months than i've seen for the other shoe. >> if only one correction to that, there's a fourth person on the stage and that famous picture, trey gowdy, and he left congress a lot of people, mike gallagher, i think could have been one of the great leaders of the republican party is leaving congress lots of people left. ben sasse left before his term was out. it is not a remotely pleasant place to be a sane republican. and that's the thing is that donald trump has always made it clear he would rather be the undisputed unified head of a rump gop then the head of a majority party. now i personally think both parties have this weird death wish kind of impulse to try to cling to the idea of being minority parties rather than being majority parties. but republican party has it m

you go to haley events they were all quite similar special because dickie haley is very scripted shever again. you get a few hundred people and they support her. they like her. they are enthusiastic but it's all kind of polite you go to a trump rally it's kind of over-the-top because that connection he makes with voters is a little mysterious. >> is like going to a soccer match at manchester, manchester, england not new hampshire. what do you see how do you thins going to go? >> i would agree a lot with what byron said these are different kinds of environments. as to the more polite haley events with a couple hundred. i think it is important to remember to that a lot of these voters, we look at nikki haley like she has a hometown and she is she lives here in south carolina she represented the state twice but she also has had to reintroduce herself to a lot of folks that moved into the states and she served as governor she left office at about eight years ago. and so a lot of these folks who are here, they know her, they are familiar with her but they are not in touch with the same ki

to haley's 39%.verage from across south carolina in the white house begins with alex half in columbia with the term campaign. >> good to be with you, we are with them but the party has shut down, this was an early night and there is little suspense in the room and jumped election headquarters here, a lot of enthusiasm and competence and we have seen the confidence for several weeks now. a former president has been in the date on and off not dedicating nearly as much time as his opponent, the former president took the stage minutes after polls close to a lot of enthusiasm and call it an early night but fantastic one thing the republican party has never been more unified. auto hillary supporters are saying that but that's what he said and he maintained one 100% focused right now is campaign on the general election and the president said this about the states he seeks to conquer next. >> michigan is coming up, we are doing great, autoworkers will be with us one 100%. they got sold out by this country bu

well, or poorly for nikki haley.ther place to be looking, and maybe some of them will light up in just a few minutes, in terms of a barometer for haley's strength, and trump's weakness, if there is any here tonight, will be in this area right around grand rapids. that's -- where grand rapids is. that is also ottawa county, immediately to its west. and there are a couple of other counties, the five county region here, it is going to make up about 17% of the republican vote. and what's interesting is this region of the state, a lot of it is traditionally republican and conservative. but starting in 2016, this very strongly adverse to donald trump himself, even as he was winning big time in the statewide vote in 2016, he was doing terribly in this part of the state. take a look at ottawa county, this is a big one. -- michigan this year, trump only got 19 and a half percent. here basically, half of the statewide -- total for grand rapids as. third place for donald trump. donald trump won 72 of michigan's eight counties i

like, why is nikki haley still doing this.nt, there is no real rational political long term -- you just have to take her at her word. should these people deserve a choice when they vote? i think it's that simple. i don't think it's any long term game. she's also hurting herself in this process. the idea that she's going to catapult into some future of the republican party through this process, i think, is silly. this is her, i think, going out with a blaze of glory we. we'll see whatever happens when she does drop out, coming back endorsing him. i think that would be really -- in relation to the rnc i don't think it is all that surprising that he is taking over the rnc. but what people should appreciate, though, is at least last time around, there was some tension within the party. they were -- and trying to restrain him and within the -- trying to restrain him. that dynamic will not exist this time around. everyone within the entire republican ecosystem, it's all going to be on the same. page and everybody who had an issue wi

here is what nikki haley did.way, i have pretty good sources that tell me, and i think this probably will make sense. mcmaster was so close to trump. mcmaster was lieutenant governor in south carolina. and trump called of master. he was one of the very first elected officials to go for trump. he called him and said, what can i do for you? i think what happened, he said, get nikki haley out of south carolina so i can be governor. that's why he appointed her, because he frankly probably doesn't even know what the ambassador to the u.n. does. i don't think he even understands what the u.n. is. what she? go she went because she's outside the swamp. she is not going to be in washington. she is going to be doing a foreign policy job. which added to her risumi, that was alrighty fulsome when it comes to being an executive, so if you want to be president some day, especially if you are a woman, two term governor plus the foreign policy chops, who are going toe-to-toe with international leaders and that context, if she has

and you have a nikki haley pin., you voted for nikki haley. >> yes, sir. i'm a democrat, i've been a democrat since donald trump won this upcoming president rnl primary back in 2016. but i felt like my vote was better spent in the republican primary, and i voted for nikki haley for president and i do agree with her on some things. i agree with her on foreign policy. i think you know we do agree largely on the pro-life issue. but there are some issues that we do disagree on like the border policy. but you know, i still think my vote was best spent in the republican primary last night. will: if it came down to nikki haley versus joe biden which way would you vote? >> i think i would vote for her over joe biden. >> trump voter voted for trumple last night in the primary. >> yeah. >> what appeals to you about donald trump? >> it is more than just policy walls. the question of this upcoming -- primary wasn't just you know should the tax cut be x or y percent but where they're held accountable to american people or i beli

their argument is similar to nicky haley's.ur military. mentality, because these are american corporations and america is only becoming more powerful, when these corporations make a profit, they extol the war without thinking about the consequences, and i understand that even though these are not american soldiers, people are dying there, according to many estimates, they died there already more than 100,000 man, to justify this by the fact that our military industry is becoming more powerful, the fact that niki halley herself worked in the military industry, i find this argument disgusting. it's inhumane and untenable when people say that the corporate profits of arms dealers are a justification for war, and i just cringe at that, i think that kind of argumentation is disgraceful, and i told anthony blinken about it, i said it to others, because that's all , after all, it’s one thing to say, i once said, when i was on the commission last time, this there was neya blinkina, one of his subordinates, i said, let’s at least start

trump. 25% supporting governor haley. white evangelicals, 75% giving their support to the former president versus 24% for nikki haley. just those who identify as republicans, 73% of those saying they voted for mr. trump, 26% for nikki haley in those exit polls. breaks it down a little more as far as certain categories when it comes to yesterday's events. when it's those who identified what they described as a candidate who fights for them, 91% of those casting votes yesterday in the primary saying they voted for former president trump, only 8% for nikki haley. for those who say they didn't think president biden won in 2020, 88% of votes casting their vote for former president trump, 1 is 1% for nikki haley. immigration, saying it's the most important issue, 82% saying their vote went to the former president, versus nikki haley at 17%. and then for those looking and favoring national abortion ban, 81% of those giving their vote to mr. trump, 19% for nikki haley. it's his fourth state victory, us winning the u.s. virgin isl

haley has 17.an open primary meaning democrats who did not vote in their primary earlier this month are eligible to vote today. also today marks two years since russia began its brutal invasion of ukraine. according to the united nations, more than 10000 ukrainian civilians have been killed including almost 600 children ukrainians are still pleading with the west for more aid and promising to fight until the very end. rallies across the u.s. showing support for that war torn country. senior foreign affairs correspondent greg is live in kyiv right now. >> you are right, two years russia invaded ukraine shock waves are still being felt. tanks rolling shortly after the missile struck across the country. russian been around the capital but have hung on and then some making inroads along along front line. those in the thick of it, former boxer, here is how he feels about potential wartime failure. >> failure is not an option because it's a question of future of our country and our children, who want to

nikki haley.he served as south carolina's governor for six years and was hoping for an upset in her home state after resounding defeats in previous contests. but once again it was donald trump giving a victory speech tonight, while a defiant nikki haley promised her supporters that she will continue to fight for the nomination. now we're a laughing stock all over the world. our country is going to be respected again, respected like never before. cheering and applause so, this is a fantastic evening. it's an early evening and a fantastic, so you can all go down and you can celebrate for about 15 minutes and we have to get back to work. i said earlier this week that no matter what happens in south carolina, i would continue to run for president. cheering and applause i'm a woman of my word. cheering and applause now to helena humphrey, who's been following the days events from charleston, south carolina. nikki haley taking the stage earlier. what did you make of her speech and her message to her sup

was she voted for haley, hope and should get a huge up swing? >> she was voted for haley. the idea here being voting and the democratic primary here for chuck, biden and uncontested rice, she felt was a waste of her vote. she wanted to wait until this republican primary, come and and vote for nikki haley with a goal of stopping donald trump anywhere she could. >> gotcha. thank you very much, garrett, for that. we'll go to dasha burns. now she's at cpac, national harbor, maryland, were the former president is speaking before heading to south carolina. he was supposed to be taking the stage. what's going on? where does that stand right now? >> he is speaking right now, right behind me, a little bit fashionably light. which is practically typical for from president trump. let's be clear. autonomic colleagues in south carolina our covering the primary. for the folks here, at the primer is over. in fact, it was over a long time ago. and this is an event that really paints a picture of just how much former president trump has remade the republican party, the conservative movemen

for haley. i mean, the koch money is obviously important, but that organization is particularly critical ahead of something like super tuesday that said, she's got a 0.40% of the party's not voting for donald trump. yeah. >> where do they go? >> i mean, the coc money wasn't all the money she raised $13 in january, as long as small donut are still funding or money, it's not running a massive campaign. you know, she could apply saying, indefinitely just with angry democrats sending her money. so i think it's a real open question is how long she'll stay and she has not made any hints of saying when she will drop out, she has been very committed as far as like, look, we're gonna go this to the very and what is interesting to me is look at the rhetoric that surrounds both of the campaigns of get closer to a possible endgame, as donald trump begins to dial down those attacks after each of his wins, that may try and live in opening for nikki to leave and maybe good graces if nikki haley began to talk a

caller: nikki haley should stay in there for one reason. when she gets to the north states, new jersey, new york, she just might win all of them. i think she's got more common sense. i don't want two old people in there. host: robert, you are a republican voter and you have been a nikki haley supporter from the beginning of the republican primary? caller: i've listened to all the stuff that is going on. donald trump has got a lot of legal fees and stuff like that. i will vote for it if he is the only one in, but right now i am sticking with nikki haley. host: the nikki haley campaign looking ahead to beyond the south carolina primary. again, the polling says she is likely to lose by a large margin yes, looking ahead to super tuesday, the story from yesterday noting that she is already spending more than half $1 million on television advertising, campaign set to begin running on wednesday in the state of michigan. her post-south carolina travel plans include several days across michigan and minnesota, colorado, utah, virginia, washington, d.

haley's case to keep running. there is a bigger reality that donald trump's campaign hasn't acknowledged year, and miss haley put it in plain terms yesterday. the only candidate stopping joe find his donald trump because donald trump is the only candidate joe biden could beat. his erratic behavior and personal views. those traits as haley pointed out have intensified in solid trump left office. she has shown grit and tenacity and ace of insults and his allies they would be better off worrying more about why democrats are so eager to have trump as the republican nominee. this is allison colorado. caller: i already voted in the primary in colorado, we voted by mail and i voted for nick haley because when she was secretary of state -- host: are you saying u.n. ambassador rice caller: pardon, ambassador. she should have been secretary of state but she disagree with trump and she stood up to him. she was kind of quiet about it but i feel like she is a middle-of-the-road politician. she is a republican. i did vote for t

>> this is a key question for nikki haley. this is what's happened in the past.ou typically have republicans about three quarters of the electorate, that back in 2000, a smaller share, a lot more independents that year, what we're seeing so far in the preliminary exit polls is that actually this looks a lot like 2016, the number of independents in our exit polls, around 21% to 22%, landing similar, that's not what nikki haley needed. she needed to drive up independent and even democratic voters. we know that republican voters are picking trump overwhelmingly. the argument she was making to these independents, to look the general election, it doesn't look to have changed the makeup of the electorate, whit. >> rick, thank you so much, let's bring in avery harper joining us at the desk. mary alice parks, and avery, you're looking at exit poll data. >> i find it interesting when we look at the preliminary data we're getting in, when asked about when voters made their vote about when they were going to figure out who they were going to vote for we found the vast major

the pole shows biden losing to haley by tofive points. haley is seizing that.ause of it, donald trump loses big and we end up with president kamala harris. >> joining us now, natasha alford, former republican strategist, lee carter, and shelby talcott. lee, you're going to need to explain all of this to us. we say this when there are bad numbers, good numbers, regardless of the candidate, it's a snapshot in time. i when you looked into, like, deeper into this quinnipiac poll, what stood out to you in the numbers. >> there's a couple of things. first of all, this is an outlier poll compared to the other poll. is this the outlier or the beginning of a trend. it could be a trend. we saw the courtroom antics last week, and it could be playing into how people are react ing. independent voters broke 52-40. that's a 12-point lead. also with women. women support biden by 58%. he has a 22% advantage with women up from 12 point margin just a month ago. those are both really significant numbers and deciding factors and both independents and women are the ones that break f

i want you to react to nikki haley framing why she's sticking it out. this is nikki haley. momentum, that if you do poorly in your own state where you were a very popular two-term governor, then it's lights out. >> we're going to close that gap in south carolina, and the day after south carolina i'm headed to michigan. and three days after that michigan votes. and within ten days of south carolina, twenty states vote. what is everybody so afraid of? why don't we let those states vote? neil: what do you make of that? how is she hurting the party ticking it out? if -- sticking it out many. >> well, nikki haley has said that she plans to keep fighting until super tuesday and then this week setting an expectation maybe even beyond that, potentially even to the convention. the trump supporters that i talked to yesterday had mixed opinions about this. obviously, or they'd like to see donald trump be the nominee of the party, but some of them said that, you know, she's welcome to stay in the race as long as she wants and that's her choice. but there is a sense among some republica

donald trump, once again trounced nikki haley. but once again, haley says she's not going anywhere. now, the former two charles south carolina governor just lost by more than 20 points in her home state and this is the fourth state where trump has won by double digits. and this time doing so despite being outspent by $15 million on air. yet in speaking to cheering supporters last night, haley continued to offer this warning to our party we need to be joe biden in november i don't believe donald trump can beat joe biden nearly every day. trump drives people away could she be right now despite trump running the table with very conservative voters in this conservative state, there are warning signs for his >> likely general election candidacy. that's the race trump is now focused on as he tries to paint a dark vision of president biden's america now cnn's kristen holmes has been traveling with the former president and she's in columbia, south carolina. kristin, how is trump world dealing with nikki haley's staying in this race? >> well, my know, it depends if you mean privately or publ

south carolina, is haley's home state hey. haley couldn't make it happen either of those primaries. she's not going to make it happen elsewhere, which is to say, i think we've already seen peak haley and peak haley is her losing to trump 20 to 30 percentage points. and i think that only gets more lopsided headed to super tuesday i mean, over the last month or recently, haley really sharpened her criticism against trump, but did she wait too long to >> really take the gloves off? >> i think she did. i mean, she was treating donald trump with velvet clubs just for months and months and months and even just recently, she said that she would pardon donald trump if she were elected. so it's not like she's gone full-on. chris christie in the last several weeks, either she has been more critical but at the same time, i think she's sort of reading the tea leaves. she does understand that. you can't go against trump too hard because it does alienate the republican electorate. at the same time, if you don't go against him at all, then there's no way that you can differentiate yourself. i thin

it looks- listen, it's going _ nikki haley? it looks- listen, it's going to _ nikki haley? listen, it's going to be an _ nikki haley? it looks- listen, it's going to be an uphill - it's going to be an uphill battle for her, make no mistake, just as it has been in all the previous primaries. but what the nikki haley team is planning on is the fact that south carolina, just like michigan, which is a couple of days later, is an open primary. and that means it's notjust republicans who can vote on the primary, its independence and democrats. so that was her strategy here, just like you need independence to come out in a general election, she is going to need independence to come out for her in these open primary is. and in the super tuesday states, two—thirds of those states, of the 15, they are open primary is as well. so she really needs to get independents who support her much more than they support donald trump to come out and vote for her if she has any chance of getting to even be close to the delegate count that donald trump has. and he right now has 67 delegates to her

the problem for ambassador nikki haley is math. this is real clear politics average in south carolina, trump 61.8% and haley 36.5. chris and suzie at trump campaign put out a memo saying in four weeks, trump will clench 1215 delegates needed to clench the campaign. >> emily: what we're seeing is a different definition of what the finish line is. to the haley campaign, the finish line is after super tuesday. we have 21 states and territories voting in. that is where we are going to see large turnout of independents, suburban women and pockets of people supporting nikki haley. primary pivot reached one million in small donations and campaigning hard in those 21 states. one of her supporters said she does not need to win south carolina, i am getting tired of seeing her come in second. final quick point, she said she would pardon trump. trump said she is legitimizing the cases against me and it is unacceptable. >> kayleigh: she said i will not kiss the ring and will not -- trump, i want you to listen to nikki haley in july when asked i

now it's down to just two donald trump and nikki haley. you'd think things would be looking up for haley, who managed to cut through that pack the next primary is in her home state of south carolina, a state she won twice as governor. but trump also has a winning record there, taking the state in both the 2016 and 2020 presidential races. so where does south carolina voters loyalties lie? gibbs knotts is a professor at the college of charleston. he's also the author of first in the south. gibbs knotts always nice to see you. so i guess the short version is nikki haley would be a shoo in if donald trump wasn'a shoo in already. tell me a little bit about the electorate out there and and how it's looking at this moment. you're exactly right. i mean, she got elected twice as governor. she went on to serve in the un. she was popular in south carolina. she still is popular in south carolina. but i think it's it's really interesting to think about the pre-trump electorate and the post-trump electorate. the last time haley was on the ballot was 20

their argument is similar to nicky haley's.ry industry, because these are american corporations. and america only becomes more powerful when these corporations profit. and they glorify war without thinking about the consequences. and i understand that even if these are not american soldiers, people are dying there. according to many estimates, more than 100,000 people have already died there. and justify this by saying that our military industry is becoming more powerful. and the fact that niki halley herself worked in the arms industry, i find this argument disgusting, inhumane and untenable, when people say that the corporate profits of arms dealers are a justification for war, and i just cringe at this, i find this argument disgraceful, and i said this to anthony blinken , i talked about this to others, because that’s all, because it’s one thing to talk, i once said, when i was in the commission for the last time, it wasn’t blinkin, one of his subordinates, i said let’s you... you’ll start talking again at least talk about l

, 67%, nikki haley's 28%. you can see the map here. it's all donald trump read. of course there are some areas where donald trump what is struggling a bit more. let's go all the way down. let's see if i can >> hit it. there we go. >> this is where ann arbor, the university of michigan is well educated area. you can see here a much closer race, 52% of the vote to 43% of the vote, about 86% of the vote in. but look how few votes there are, relatively speaking, only about 23,000. and if you were to zoom now, let's say we'll go, we'll go up to the northern peninsula, right? let's go up here. let's go up here to chippewa county. look at this. you see a much wider margin, 78%, 18%. we can go over here to mackinac county, again, 73% to 22%. so a very clear win for donald trump, but harry, i mean, i want to just underscore what you just said there. what you were just showing was sort of xor county. this is a part of michigan the suburbs of detroit, suburbs of lansing, suburbs of grand rapids. suburban voters. that's w

up for nikki haley-— and how things are shaping up for nikki hale . ~ �* , , , ., ~ ., nikki haley._ nikki haley. we've been speaking to voters in south carolina, we - nikki haley. we've been speaking to voters in south carolina, we are - voters in south carolina, we are just outside charleston, through the course of the morning. you can see that they are queueing around this elementary school where we are right now. we have been speaking to people who have been coming out for nikki haley, who has twice served as governor here. they have acknowledged that this is going to be a significant uphill battle for her, one that appears to be a foregone conclusion, but they have been giving her the vote, they say, because they want people to have a choice, so this isn�*t a foregone conclusion. that is an argument nikki haley has been making herself. other people are saying they are sick of donald trump, he creates chaos wherever he goes, again something nikki haley has been saying. on the other side, those who tell us they are will be casting their vote for donald trump, they say that they w

nikki haley, and who you support. and of course, the trajectory of her potential success in south carolina. but i have to get your reaction to this suggests that trump made just moments to go at a rally. by the way, around alley where black people and many were in the audience, that they liked him because he was indicted and that he is the poster child of discrimination as a result, what is your response to that? >> well, first, thank you for having me and i think what you just showed is exactly why 70% of americans do not want a trump-biden rematch. >> this >> is just more of the same chaos, more of the same drama, more of the same baggage. and it's exactly why 70% of americans want something different and want something new that's what nikki haley has to offer. so we are running through the tape here in south carolina nikki is taking her message to every corner of the state and i think what you just showed shows the fact that there's just more chaos and more of the same with both trump and biden as relates to presid

trump's at 107, nikki haley's at 17.th no states victorious at this point , and she didn't win again last night, but we were watching, i guys. she's staying in the race. rachel: welsh you know, he won that race last night with virtually, or you know, not even campaigning. i mean, really if you look at how people normally have to campaign to get record numbers that he just got, double the amount that anybody has ever gotten in a south carolina primary, and he was hard lu here. she had a bus tour, she was running ads, she was on the ground with can, she was doing, you know, meetings with constituents, with voters. he didn't hardly do anything, and he just took it away. will: and here's what donald trump and nikki haley had to say last night after the results came in in south carolina. >> this was a little sooner than we anticipated. [cheers and applause] an even bigger win than we anticipated. michigan's coming up. we're doing great. the autoworkers are going to be with us 100% because they got sold out by this country. [a

it's been quite effortless for him, even in new hampshire, where nikki haley nikki haley was thought to have a chance with more of the moderate and independent voters. i mean, what does this say about trump's? dominance over the republican party >> i think it's complete dominance. that's the perfect word to describe it. let's just rewind to the started this campaign when donald trump announced in fall 2023, he was facing all of those indictments. and in my opinion, that process of in facing these legal charges has only brought the party closer around him and that i think it's dumb found in many of his challengers, the would be people who had knock him off. they thought that was a sign of weakness. they thought look, donald trump is facing all of this legal calamity. motors don't want that. but republican voters have showed us time and time again those charges have rallied them around the former president. they see it all is a conspiracy against donald trump. and this is why we must support him. and if that's the mentality going up against if you're nikki haley, it's very, very diffic

ago, 18% preferred haley.ints with a 32% voter preference. so, lauren, what does this trend tell you? >> well, it tells me that, you know, as we've known for some time with presidential elections the closer we get to individual election days, the more accurate the polls are. and so if we're do believe this, that a means that haley is getting weaker as we approach the next primary, and trump is getting stronger, and so he's very likely to win. i do think though that all of these calls by trump and his operatives for haley to drop out don't make any sense to me because if he's as dominant as the polls say he is and it's apparently true based on the last few election results, then he should want to keep haley in the race and keep beating her time and again. if she drops out, there's no opponent for him to talk about, and so i do think it's actually quite personal when he attacks haley since according to the polls she's actually not that much of a threat to him. arthel: now meanwhile, nikki haley is saying the rnc

that has| been nikki haley's entire campaign.ok at the polls, she does beatjoe biden by about ten percentage points on a one—on—one match—up which is better than donald trump is polling but you cannot win a primary by appealing to moderates. she is not doing that. at the beginning she was in a catch 22, you cannot go after donald trump too hard but at the same time, you cannot keep the gloves on and not differentiate yourself. she is basically in an impossible situation and i think her campaign is basically running on empty. i do not see her going forward. she basically running on empty. i do not see her going forward.— basically running on empty. i do not see her going forward. she says she will carry on- _ see her going forward. she says she will carry on. you _ see her going forward. she says she will carry on. you say _ see her going forward. she says she will carry on. you say she _ see her going forward. she says she will carry on. you say she would - will carry on. you say she would need to take the gloves off. could she d
