let's take -- >> nikki! nikki! nikki! nikki! nikki! nikki!ikki: the best way we take care of our veterans is we make sure we do telehealth so they get the mental health care they need right when they need it. let's let them go to the doctor or hospital of their choice, they've earned that right. and i think the best way we deal with veteran health care, i think every member of congress should have to get their health care from the v.a. and you watch how fast that gets fixed. [applause] it will be the best health care you've ever seen, guaranteed. and then we need to focus on national security. and you know the part that no one understands, everybody says, why doesn't america understand national security? don't blame americans. because right now the president and congress don't tell people why ukraine matters. they don't tell people why israel matters. they don't tell people about north korea or china. when i'm president, i will overcommunicate and tell you absolutely everything. [cheers and applause] but you look right now, the world is on fi

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. 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

i'm a woman of my word. >> nikki! nikki! nikki! >> i'm not giving up this fight when a majority of americans disapprove of both donald trump and joe biden. south carolina has spoken. we're the fourth state to do so. in the next 10 days, another 21 states and territories will speak. they have the right to a real choice. host: her comments can be seen on our website at cspan.org. if you have the app, c-span now, you can also see the comments there as well. here are comments from people on social media and texting. this is on x, lynn saying trum has not done that well as an int president. he should be in the 90's, but he's not. he's 30% to 40% on the table. he cannot get that. this is another view off of x. what's the big deal? nikki haley doesn't want tgi up and she doesn't wantav this is kent from virginia saying hey will see it through until super tuesday. if she does not do better, she will drop out, focus on 2028. we should still have elections th. and then another viewer, kendra from ricon virginia, i'm an independent and i want

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

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

looking at nikki haley.rategist. >> i mean look, i will say, while this is a situation in the primary, i think we need to fight, until the very end. and so at this point, i would say -- nikki haley, you are right, stay in, stay in, wear him down, make him continue to spend money. you know, keep pounding the message about what he stands for. talk about how he supports putin, talk about how he doesn't stand by ukraine. talk about what it is that you are getting with his brand. because actually at the end of the day, and actually does help the biden campaign. because you are actually delivering the message to people in your party, saying this is what this brand is. do you really want that to be the continuation of the republican party? we will continue to lose, the way we have, cycle after cycle, with donald trump at the helm. is that what you want? now granted, you are correct. she is not going to garner support along the way. i would be surprised if she gets anything along the way. but you know what, i think

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

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

haley 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

[laughter] >> nikki haley's i was pulling out of the race.vowing to stay on through to super tuesday why do you think that is considering the polls? works there a lot of people around her making a ton of money if you been watching tv here every 30 seconds is a nikki haley ad. i think she believes she has a mission here. the people of her home state will speak tonight it will be a pretty loud resounding statement that they want trump i have got nothing gets nikki i like her a lot she is a wonderful family. i am not looking at who can beat biden i think trump can for sure i'm looking at who can turn the world around and i think that's trump better than anybody. biden is an absolute disaster's commander-in-chief this poor girl that got killed in georgia because of illegal immigrants the world is on fire in so many places we stopped exporting natural gas we own which helps russia. i cannot wait until the biden nightmare is over and one thing i can tell you the day trump gets to be president the world is going to fall in place pretty quickly. >> i

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

i just seek nikki, nikki, nikki. in my whole heart i want to believe or not being biased and i'm not going to assume that you are, but boy, it sure is tough to believe that. i'm having a hard time. host: yesterday, the home state primaries this weekend. if there is a time to talk about it, it seems like today if the data do it. are you with us? caller: yeah, yeah. yeah. what are you telling me here? host: do you think this debate isn't happening in the republican party? do you think is being overplayed, i guess? caller: i'm sorry, i can't follow, i'm not following you. i don't understand what were asking me. i'm sorry, i don't want to take up all your time here or anybody else's time. host: all right. we will go to greg in riverside, california, good morning. caller: good morning, how are you doing? host: good. caller: i am in my garage. i voted for trump twice and i will not be voting for him a third time mainly based on a lot of people from supporters talk about with policy. what policy? a gentleman called earlier

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

[cheers] we are at $34 trillion in debt and counting. not even a third of our eighth graders are proficient in reading. families can't afford groceries. 9 million illegals have come to our border with enough fentanyl to kill every single american. and beyond our borders, the world is on fire. war is spreading further every day. if we are not strong, those wars will draw america further in. and it is not just about policy. we won't get out of our downward spiral if we keep obsessing over the past. does anyone seriously think joe biden or don

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

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

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

>> 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

but nikki haley, has vowed to stay in the race.t operation by the allies. the pentagon the said the iranian—backed group would "bear the consequences" if they did not stop their attacks on shipping in the red sea. and, oppenheimer was the big winner at the screen actors guild awards. it netted the top prize of best cast, as well as best actor for cillian murphy. and barbra streisand was presented with a lifetime achievement award in the last major ceremony before the oscars next month. now on bbc news, talking business. hello everybody. a very warm welcome to talking business weekly

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

nikki haley with 100,630 votes. and again, as i said before, about the uncommitted vote, that is 100,000 people republican voters in michigan who do not want donald trump to be the nominee, where are they going to go in november? that is the conundrum, and that is why we are watching this race with fascination and bated breath. john king, where the votes coming in from, you make a key point, people watching at home, we're going to say on the one hit, well, this is a blowout. sure. why are they saying there's something to learn here? well, there's a, there's always something learned, but b, you have to essentially incumbents joe biden for the democrats, donald trump, the former president for the republicans, who have giant strengths and yet significant, important weaknesses worth studying as you go forward for the incumbent president, noted states male andrew was just trying to make the point to 50% okay. you know, it'd be a rocket scientist, you could do the math at home. sure. however, that's an unhappy protest vot

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

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

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.

the best is nikki haley. go nikki! >> one of the best times he's ever said that. jake sellers asked about trump's political action committee paying $50 million. picking up the tab for his legal bills. listen to that exchange. >> it is unconscionable to me that a candidate would spend $50 million in legal fees. it explains why he's not doing many rallies. he doesn't have the money to do it. it explains why he doesn't want to get on a debate stage. he doesn't want to talk about why he's doing it. it explains why he had a temper tantrum the election night in new hampshire. he wants me out of the race and he wants to be the presumptive nominee so all that cash starts going to him and he doesn't have to spend anymore. >> unconscionable temper tantrum. they weren't around a month ago. >> i love this nikki haley and taking a different approach, i think it is better for the country. i think hearing a credible conservative. he's using his donors to pay his legal bills. that is literally it. >> do voters care? >> i'm not sure they do. the florida legislature, some republica

those campaigns signs of donald trump and nikki haley. i'd go down the road one day and i'd see a slew of nikki haley signs and by the time i was driving home, there were an equal number of donald trump signs put in front of her signs. >> the >> sign warfare is going on. that kind of usual cadence of things is happening, but there is an excitement here that i'm hearing on the ground when i went to nikki, haley's rally last night, i spoke with a woman who told me she was excited to have a choice that she didn't feel like she's had one in past elections, including in 20 may and including in 2016 so she says she wants nikki to keep going and she's going to be casting her ballot for her today. >> okay. so you were at that rally last night of nikki haley and then we also saw some pictures will see them again a little later of her chatting with people at kiawah island before she cast her ballot? also, last night, donald trump was in your state and he was speaking in an attempt to boast that black people identify with him because of his mug shot

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
