Only two states have voted so why do people keep saying the race between Trump and Haley is over?
In her speech after losing Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary to former President Donald Trump — her second straight loss, after Iowa — former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley vowed to keep running.
And the reason she gave sounded simple enough.
New Hampshire “is not the last [primary] in the nation,” said Haley, Trump’s only remaining challenger for the Republican presidential nomination. “This race is far from over. There are dozens of states left to go, and the next one is my sweet state of South Carolina."
Yet pundits, political strategists and even some party leaders have spent the last few days insisting that Haley is wrong.
“I'm looking at the map and the path going forward, and I don't see it for Nikki Haley," said Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel. “This isn’t the RNC speaking. This isn’t the establishment speaking. This is the voters speaking.”
"It's now past time for the Republican Party to unite around President Trump," House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana added in a statement.
“At this point Haley can either drop out or help the Democrats,” Sen. J. D. Vance of Ohio wrote on X.
Why are so many people saying the GOP primary is over before most states have even voted? And do they have a point? Here’s the state of play.
