Stacey Van Gronigen, right, and Kim Brand, center, speak with CNN's Jeff Zeleny. CNNNorth Carolina, one of 15 states holding Republican contests Tuesday, is emerging as an early general election battleground. In the waning days of the primary, conversations with Nikki Haley voters offer important lessons – perhaps less so for her own candidacy than for Donald Trump, Joe Biden or even a third-party candidate. When asked what Brand will do in November if Haley doesn't win the primary, she replied: "Cry." Meanwhile, Gronigen — a two-time Trump voter — said she would vote for Trump again, if Haley was not successful.
