"I want to congratulate Donald Trump on his victory. I said in recent days that I would continue the race for the presidency and I am a woman who keeps my word. I will not give up this battle when the majority of America disapproves of Trump and Joe Biden."
Nikki Haley said this after the defeat in South Carolina.
"We have to beat Joe Biden in November and I don't think Trump can beat him. We have about 40% of the vote in South Carolina, the same in New Hampshire. I'm an accountant and I know that 40% is not 50%, but it's not a small group. A group that asks for an alternative", says Haley, underlining that she does not want to abandon the race when the majority of Americans want neither Trump nor Biden.
"Today is not the end of our story, we will be in Michigan tomorrow and we will be on Super Tuesday", she adds, specifying that Trump and Biden are not fighting for the future of the country.
