In the wake of former President Trump’s wins in Iowa and New Hampshire, where he defeated his GOP opponent, Nikki Haley, by double digits, the calls grew louder for the former South Carolina governor to exit the race.
Among those appearing most frustrated by her insistence that the “race is far from over” was RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel.
Appearing on Fox News Tuesday evening, McDaniel emphasized the general election is only 10 months away “and we can’t wait any longer to put our foot on the gas to beat the worst president…”
“I'm looking at the math and the path going forward, and I don’t see it for Nikki Haley,” McDaniel said. “I think she's run a great campaign, but I do think there's a message that's coming out from the voters which is very clear. We need to unite around our eventual nominee, which is going to be Donald Trump, and we need to make sure we beat Joe Biden.”
