Resolute Haley battles 'nominee-in-waiting' Trump, envisioning 'long career in Republican politics'
Is it political strategy, donor pressure or perhaps hubris? Nikki Haley is vowing "the fight goes on" against Donald Trump, positioning herself as a viable option in case the scandal-plagued Republican frontrunner's campaign implodes. Haley has gone zero for four in early contests for the Republican presidential nomination, including an embarrassing 20-point drubbing Saturday in her home state of South Carolina where she served as governor. With her path to victory shrinking to the width of a needle's eye, her decision not to bow out is raising questions about her endgame in a party ruled by Trump, and whether prolonging the nomination battle sets Haley up for a 2028 presidential bid. As Haley soldiers on, despite growing inevitability of Trump, FRANCE 24's Monte Francis is joined by Dr. Andrew Smith, Director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center.
