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

eight percent said against the opponent nikki haley. rs said was your vote mainly for your candidate, 59% said yes, their vote was for nikki haley. 40% said it was against former president donald trump. mark, south carolina, democratic caller. which primary did you participate in? caller: i voted in the republican primary. host: why? caller: because i wanted to vote against donald trump more so than nikki haley, although if a republican won the general election in the fall i would happily support nikki haley, because she is not donald trump. host: ok. linda, rockville, maryland. it do you say so far? caller: nikki haley are suffering the same thing joe biden has suffered since that man left the white house in 2021 as a sore loser and an insurrectionist, and if any excerpt from the cpac committee, you see why -- you see what is wrong with the former republican party. they are not republicans. they are trump trash, every single one of them. the senate, the house, they should lose every single person who claims to be republican throw the he

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

the reason that he coming back is because of nikki haley. he is as a leader, that these incredible accomplished women want to support. or >> it's the idea to that you are willing to brave negative 40-degree temperatures. because i sure as heck would not have been door knocking that kind of. weather >> but the reality is here to, it does not seem that she can win here. so, how do you keep saying it's okay for the party to have a candidate staying in, and kind of digging the guy who is likely to be the nominee? >> well you know, i don't think 40% is anything to talk about, that is a lot of people. not to mention, a lot of republicans have become independents, that's because it's donald trump. how do we welcome back those folks in the party? he is not going to be able to do that. he is doing terribly with women, he is doing terrible with independents to. she attracts those kind of people to the party, and we're not we -- want to be a big umbrella republican party, if you want to win in november, that he has got to stay. and >> yeah, and that's t

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

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

but you voted for nikki haley? haley talk to me about maybe the issues that drove you to vote for the former governor. i sure will, you know, we are such a critical juncture right here in our nation and we look at the open-borders. we don't know who's coming in. it's been a mass influx of people coming in. we get the right person in. i believe we need to get joe biden out of the white house. he's caused a lot of trouble. and we also see what student loan debt we have people and i hear this all the time. people who decided to be responsible pay off their student debt people who decided to work, they didn't want to take on student debt. nobody forces you go to college, but they have that student debt and i believe that nikki haley has the best chance of beating joe biden come this fall, you said you were impressed with her record as governor. i wanted to ask you this historical question. since 1980. >> yeah. only one time have the south carolina republican voters not pick the winner? who eventually won the republican

i mean, what happens if that if it wasn't nikki haley, if it was just somebody else. i mean, it seems to be nikki is just a placeholder for the faction that doesn't like donald trump is not nikki haley that they like. >> i wouldn't assume that she has it's a third of the party though, because what's gonna happen at the end of the day is democrats are going to gravitate to biden because they fear trump. and republicans are going to gravitate to trump because they want to defeat one really quickly. >> anecdotally, and i get the central, i've never known so many lifelong republicans worked in republican politics that will not support donald trump this election, there is a tight ship that is unprecedented here and they're homeless republicans looking for somewhere to protecting the vote totals is more ballots are counted across south carolina. nikki haley hoping to walk away with the least some delegates tonight is don't want to take another step towards securing the gop nomination. lot more ahead. stay with us >> this is the big game time cain who that do >> thank jump pu

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

i believe nikki haley should stay in the. i'm afraid it is a bit of a thankless service that she would be doing, but more than the usual contingencies. that trump could actually get convicted. facing the criminal cases that he is facing, and of course, he is old and he could have a reversal of health or a reversal of mental stability. i'm afraid that nikki haley would be doing a great service even leading to the primary season whether some of these contingencies are going to affect voting. did they continue to think it is a good idea to nominate trump or not? if she's running, that can be measured. if she drops out, then she can't. if the measurement is strong enough, something that could happen, something that is muted at the time in 2016 but didn't happen, could happen. the convention could vote to release delegates from being bound to anyone in particular and they could take a second look. host: that's our last caller in this first segment. stick around, plenty of more to talk about this morning including a look at those c

i think it's interesting, take a look right now in berkeley, donald trump's margin over nikki haley isght now is haley's margin over donald trump is about 6000 votes. you see, there's a fair amount to come in charleston. what else is in this district? the other biggie is beaufort county, where we have almost no votes. this is where hilton head is. this is an area with a big concentration of college degrees, a lot of wealth. probably more conservative than charleston county's. those are the biggies. there's a piece of carlton county, piece of dorchester county in here as well. it's interesting that between charleston in berkeley county, we're just about all the vote is in, hail eastbound even with trump. the problem for haley's while there's a lot of outcome in charleston, she certainly doing well with this, we think we're looking at right here is the early vote. the ballots that were cast early, about a third of the total in charleston. what we are seeing in other counties around the state now where the same-day vote is being counted up and reported out, we're seeing trump run better w

there's a lot of data that backing up what nikki haley was saying, the most recent national poll thatooked at a hypothetical matchup, biden and trump within the margin of ere ro r but haley beating biden by 16 points. she had a lot of data to back that up. what avery was talking about, republican voters in south carolina made up their mind, a while ago, that tracks with what we heard so much on the ground in south carolina. you know, i talked to republican leadership there, a few weeks ago, even in just the last few days, that told me over and over, it wasn't that people didn't like nikki haley, they remembered fondly of when she was governor but they love trump. they felt excited about trump. they felt like he had the momentum, especially this these last few weeks when the establishment, the party establishment in south carolina, it was so hard for nikki haley to make up any ground, even in this state, where she was supposed to have such a home state advantage. >> this will now raise even more questions about her potential path forward in this race, mary alice parks, avery harper, th

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

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

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

she said that she came out and voted for nikki haley after haley, i had sent a series of fundraising text messages to her and also encouraged democrats to get out and vote for her today. and i think that's really interesting for the dynamics of this race, because here in south carolina, it is an open primary. and that means democrats and republicans to end independence. all of them can come and vote today. and so it'll be interesting to see whether or not that will help her get more support. now, for donald trump's part, they are very confident that he is going to win today. the latest polls show that he is up by 30 points over nikki haley. but i can tell you from my conversations with trump but advisors that behind the scenes, the former president is very frustrated that nikki haley has refused to drop out thus far. he's really eager to begin a general election pivot to november and began attacking joe biden and they see nikki haley is standing in the way of that. >> fred. >> all right. alayna and that's a pretty good turnout there. i used to work work just down the street. they're

only 28% of republicans who voted in this primary tonight supported nikki haley, according to our colleague brigitte bowman, who is looking at the nbc news exit polls for us. . but also, for context, haley did win among independents. she won 59% to 40%. but the problem is, that coalition is only 21% of the electorate. so, in south carolina, that was always want to be a long shot of how you can build a coalition that would win. but in a place like michigan, in a place like virginia, in a place like massachusetts, they are hoping that they can do something similar and try to drive those numbers up. it is not going to be a coalition of capital r republican primary base voters, but it could be a coalition that gives them at least enough to continue going on and trying to make this point that they have been making over the course of the last few weeks that is, hey, people do want in alternative, even as the bulk of the establishment of the republican party says, all right, let's pack up, go home, it's trump. >> jake traylor, we ali vitali, i hope that we are your last stop on the way to bed. . t

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

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

and a lot of nikki haley supporters feel that too.otivated now they believe it is time for the republican party to move on from trump for a variety of reasons. but as far as the prosecutions go, i mean, there's almost unanimous republican opposition to them. rachel: donald trump start to the talk about himself as a dissident i think these cases have a lot to do with it. i'm wondering how this -- plays out politically in a general? >> well you go to a trump rally with a number of people who wear mugshot t-shirts they sell a lot of those at the rallies but the hope of democrats you've seen it a lot of times they say it openly. is that -- if trump is convicted of something, or if just these cases go on and one of them goes to trial before the election, that there will be enough independence to say you know, donald trump is just not acceptable we can't have a president who is going to get convicted of a crime and they will vote for joe biden. so i mean that's really the democratic theory of the case. >> good theory? >> we'll know more lat

the former president won nikki haley's home state on saturday by more than 40 points. ite her defeat, haley is promising to stay in the race. >> today in south carolina we're getting around 40% of the vote. that's about what we got in new hampshire too. i'm going to count it. i know 40% is not 50%, but i also know 40% is not some tiny group. there are huge numbers of voters in our republican primaries who are saying they want an alternative. i said earlier this week that no matter what happens in south carolina, i would continue to run for president. i'm a woman of my word. >> haley has pledged staying in the race until super tuesday. at least that's a week from tomorrow. now, despite trump's win on saturday, it was a decisive win, but there were some worrisome signs of campaign, exit polls showing concern over a rematch with joe biden. many said their vote was a vote against trump than it was a vote for haley. haley also beat trump with college educated voters, 54% to 55%. college educators making more and more a piece of the electorate every year. 60% also said they w

nikki haley's home state. the trump campaign, they're expecting a very large victory here today in the double digits. last night, trump delivered remarks at the black conservative federation gala in columbia and spoke for about an hour and a half, seldom even mentioning nikki haley. >> we sort of don't even talk about her anymore. it's amazing when you do badly in the polls how you don't mention people, it's an amazing phenomena, but we have a big deal tomorrow and so important for everybody to get out and vote we want to win by big margin because the big day is november 5th. >> today is the day that the trump campaign says they're lifting to the national election and most of the day in the d.c. area, speaking at cpac this afternoon. expected to return back to the state tonight, and yesterday held a get out the vote rally in rock hill. a short time ago, the state's governor, henry mcmaster, he cast his vote for trump and spoke to his popularity here in the state. >> there's something going on between donald tr
