Nikki Haley refused to withdraw from the Republican presidential primary contest against former President Trump on Tuesday, announcing to a crowd in her home state of South Carolina that she would not be quitting the race.
“I’m not going anywhere. I’m not afraid to say the hard truths out loud. I feel no need to kiss the ring. I have no fear of Trump’s retribution. I’m not looking for anything from him. My own political future is of zero concern.” Haley remarked.
Haley continued by drawing a parallel between her campaign against Trump and the biblical story of David and Goliath, and refuted the notion that she is preparing to run for vice president or a future presidential cycle.
Her remarks are made mere days prior to her scheduled Saturday match against Trump in South Carolina.
“South Carolina will vote on Saturday, but on Sunday I will still be running for president,” Haley said.
Haley declared her intention to continue running after the primary.
