Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said she is not dropping out of the presidential primary race despite the calls from the “political elite and party bosses” to back out.
She made her stance clear in an address during the state of the GOP presidential primary, at her alma mater, the Clemson University in South Carolina on February 20. The state will vote for their Republican presidential nominee on February 24.
Haley began her address with a reminder for South Carolinians to make their voices heard, before talking about her decision to keep moving ahead in the race. “Some of you, perhaps a few of you in the media came here today to see if I am dropping out of the race. Well I am not,” said Haley confirming yet again that she is “far from it.”
“I am running for president because we have a country to save. Since the start of my campaign I have been focused on the real issues our country faces. The ones that determine whether America will thrive or spiral out,” she said.

Haley then enumerated the reasons why she will continue in the race and the challenges that the country faces including – school children unable to read and do basic math, impoverished families, lawlessness on the Southern border, rising murders and other crimes, fentanyl, and the wars in Europe and the Middle East.
“These are the challenges I am here to tackle,” she said during the 26-minute address. Haley also spoke about her opponents and “two flawed candidates” Donald Trump and Joe Biden. She has pointed out their advanced ages and why it makes them unfit to run the Oval Office several times on the campaign trail and on social media in the past.
Trump and Biden are “two old men who are only getting older” and that is not someone who can be in charge when Russia and China attack America, Haley maintained.
“We are talking about the most demanding job in human history. You don’t give it to someone who’s at risk of dementia. You give it to someone who’s disciplined, someone who can work day and night for eight straight years. No vendettas, no drama, just results,” she asserted before signing off.
