Nikki Haley decides to challenge Trump in the Republican race.

Nikki Haley rules out abandoning the battle against Trump for the Republican nomination Nikki Haley, the latest rival of Donald Trump in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, has made it clear that she has no intentions of dropping out of the contest despite being behind the former U.S. president. In a speech delivered in Greenville, South Carolina, Haley hardened her stance towards Trump by describing him as increasingly "unstable and troubled". Amid speculation about a possible withdrawal, Haley emphatically stated: "Some of you, maybe a few in the media, have come here to find out if I am dropping out of the race. Well, I am not." The former Governor of South Carolina finds herself in a challenging situation, as it is predicted that she will suffer another defeat against Trump in the upcoming Republican primaries in her home state this Saturday. Despite adverse results in the initial electoral contests and unfavorable polls, Haley reaffirmed her commitment to continue in the presidential race. Despite the criticism she has received for allegedly harming the chances of defeating Joe Biden in the general elections, the politician claimed not to fear Trump's reprisals. In a surprising turn, Haley launched harsh criticisms against her former boss, accusing him of being "petty and offensive", as well as being "completely distracted" and obsessed with his personal problems. The Republican candidate also questioned Trump's behavior in spending large sums of money on legal battles and making controversial comments about Russia and NATO. Haley's statements point to a growing division within the Republican Party, with a portion of the leadership backing Trump and another sector seeking renewal and distancing from the former president. Despite being significantly behind in the race for the nomination, Haley insists that she has a better chance of defeating Biden in the national elections. Haley's decision to stay in the contest challenges expectations and raises questions about the future of the Republican campaign. While Trump continues to comfortably lead in the polls, Haley's persistence in confronting him opens a new chapter in the tumultuous American politics, marked by internal tensions and debates about the party's direction in the upcoming elections.
