People say 52- year-old Nikey Haley tries to set up a future presidential run. If Haley is pushing forward because of long-term political ambitions, she’s kept it close to her chest. Whatever it may be, she finds herself in the presidential race. She has claimed herself as a next-generation leader, drawing a sharp contrast with Trump, 77, and Biden, 81. Highlighting concerns about both of their ages Haley called Trump and Biden two old men who are getting older. She had demanded competency tests for both men.
Undeniably, age concerns have haunted the 2024 elections, exceptionally on the Democratic side, with many Americans articulating concerns about reportedly octogenarian Biden’s mental acuity.
Some political strategists have thoughtfully pondered whether Haley has an ulterior motive for sticking it out against Trump. If the party ever turns away from Trump, she can say that she was the voice against him.
It is also being stressed that the money has kept Haley’s campaign afloat. Federal paperwork the campaign filed this week showed how had Haley outraised Trump in January this year. As long as she has the resources to run a robust campaign that allows her to communicate with voters in every state that she has made a priority, she’s going to continue to do that, Rob Godfrey, a senior aide to Haley, maintained.
In order to secure the GOP nomination, a candidate must win 1,215 delegates. Trump currently has 63, and Haley has 17. There are 50 delegates up for grabs in Palmetto State. Three delegates will go to the popular vote winner in each of the state’s seven congressional districts for a total of 21 additional delegates.
If Trump wins by a large margin in the state, he could leave South Carolina with all 50 in his column. He could lock up nomination in mid-March, after more than half of the party’s delegates has been allotted. His campaign projects he will emerge as the presumptive nominee no later than March 19 this ongoing year.
