On Saturday, South Carolina held its Republican presidential primary—with Donald Trump defeating Nikki Haley 60% to 40%. Despite the loss, Haley told supporters that she will remain in the race at least through Super Tuesday on March 5th. According to Politico’s calculations, Trump will likely accumulate 1,215+ delegates by March 19th—reaching a majority of the Republican party’s delegates and officially becoming the presumptive nominee.
While appearing on Fox & Friends, National Director Joe Cunningham said he would be interested in his political organization partnering with Nikki Haley for a third-party presidential run.
During an appearance on Meet the Press with Kristen Welker, Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) emphasized that Department of Justice special counsel Robert Hur’s report on Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents did not clear the president of criminal wrongdoing despite the media’s insistence that it did.
