I just stepped off stage in South Carolina where I gave a speech on the state of the race. This is the message I shared.
Some people—perhaps the media and political elites—thought I was dropping out of the race today.
Well, I’m not. Far from it.
And I’m here to tell you why.
Since the start of my campaign, I’ve been focused on the real issues our country faces. The ones that determine whether America will thrive... or spiral out.
These are the challenges I’m here to tackle.
But instead of focusing on how to make America stronger tomorrow, some people want to know if I’m going to cave today.
Look, I get it. In politics, the herd mentality is enormously strong. A lot of Republican politicians have surrendered to it. The pressure on them was too much. They didn’t want to be left out of the club.
Of course, many of the same politicians who now publicly embrace Trump privately dread him. They know what a disaster he’s been and will continue to be for our party. They’re just too afraid to say it out loud.
Well, I’m not afraid to say the hard truths out loud.
I feel no need to kiss the ring. And I have no fear of Trump’s retribution. I’m not looking for anything from him. My own political future is of zero concern.
That’s why I refuse to quit. South Carolina will vote on Saturday. But on Sunday, I’ll still be running for president. I’m not going anywhere.
I’m campaigning every day, until the last person votes, because I believe in a better America and a brighter future for our kids. Nothing good in life comes easy.
I’m willing to take the cuts, the bruises, and the name calling. Because the only way you get to the blessing is by going through the pain.
People have a right to have their voices heard. And they deserve a real choice, not a Soviet-style election where there’s only one candidate and he gets 99% of the vote.
We don’t anoint kings in this country. We have elections.
Joe Biden has turned our country upside down.
It’s not normal for millions of migrants to illegally cross our border without being stopped.
It’s not normal for our schools to be more focused on gender pronouns than reading and math.
It’s not normal to have skyrocketing prices and soaring crime.
And it’s not normal to have wars raging in Europe and the Middle East.
All of that is on Joe Biden. But he’s not the only one who’s replaced normalcy with chaos. Donald Trump has done that, too.
It’s not normal to insult our military heroes and veterans.
It’s not normal to spend fifty million dollars in campaign donations on personal court cases.
It’s not normal to threaten the people who back your opponent.
And it’s not normal to call on Russia to invade NATO countries.
Donald Trump has done all that and more in just the last month.
The truth is, Americans already know what Joe Biden and Donald Trump will do. But we’re just as concerned with who they are. They’re dividers at a time when America desperately, urgently, needs a uniter.
In the America I know and love, we disagree strongly, but we do it without hating each other, and we still have a shared national purpose.
In the America I know and love, we respect freedom and the rule of law, we refuse to use the awesome power of big government to punish those we dislike, and we recognize that America has done more good for more people than any country in the world.
That’s why I’m still in this. I’m fighting because we have a country to save.
My name is Nikki Haley. I want to tell you a bit about myself and why I’m running for President of the United States.
I’m running for President because my parents came to America more than 50 years ago – an America that was strong and proud, and full of opportunities. I want them to know that America again.
I’m running for President as a military spouse. My husband is deployed and I want him and his military brothers and sisters to know their sacrifice means something – that we do love this country.
I’m running for President for the future of our kids. I have a daughter who just got married and I saw how hard it was for her and her husband to buy a home. I’m doing this for my son who’s a senior in college and shouldn’t have to worry about saying things on a paper that he doesn’t believe in just to get an A.
I’m running for my daughter, my son, and our future generations. I want them to experience the freedom and opportunity that the American Dream has to offer.
I’m running for President because we have a country to save!
I’ve seen that even on our worst days, we are blessed to live in America. But I also know that under Biden’s leadership, times are tough, our future is slipping, and America can be doing so much better.
As governor, I was dubbed a “jobs governor” because I slashed our unemployment rate, brought jobs back to our state, and shepherded in a successful economic recovery.
At the UN I fought for America, made sure our allies knew we had their backs, and stood up to murderers and dictators to let them know that America was taking names.
I know how to make America strong and proud because I’ve done it before. And I’ll do it as your next President.
As President, I’ll revitalize our economy, support small businesses, stop Washington’s spending sprees, protect our border, champion school choice, and save America’s future.
