CNN —Former South Carolina Gov.
Nikki Haley on Sunday said that while she doesn’t need to beat former President Donald Trump in her home state’s Republican presidential primary next month, the results need to be better for her than they were in New Hampshire.
Polls show Haley has a major gap to close in South Carolina, which holds its GOP primary February 24, if she intends to shave off some of Trump’s momentum following his 11-point victory in the far less conservative New Hampshire race last week.
Haley said Trump can’t “bully his way to the nomination” as he ramps up pressure on supporters to abandon Haley.
When asked Sunday whether she would be willing to be Trump’s running mate, Haley said she was running to win.
