South Carolina Primary: Trump defeats Nikki Haley in her home state | US Elections 2024

<p>US presidential hopefuls Nikki Haley and Donald Trump are all set to face off in the South Carolina Republican primary. Trump so far looks like a formidable force, having swept Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada. But can we see an upset in South Carolina, where Haley enjoys wider support as the state’s twice-elected governor?</p>

<h2><strong>Haley jumps into the fray with high hopes</strong></h2>

<p>February 24 is certainly the big day for Haley’s nomination campaign. During interactions with her supporters in Iowa and New Hampshire, she boasted that she would be winning “my sweet state of South Carolina.”</p>

<p>Despite glaring challenges, Haley seems to be riding on high hopes. “There were 14 candidates in this race,” she says, adding, “I’ve defeated 12 of the fellas, and I have just one more to catch up to.”</p>

<p>For Haley in particular, stakes are high in South Carolina. She can’t afford to lose a state where she has served as governor. A loss to Trump would technically deal a massive blow to her campaign.</p>

<p>Currently, Trump leads Haley in opinion polls by a whopping 36 points, giving the ex-president confidence that he would win “bigly.” “Everybody knows you can’t lose your home state,” he said.</p>

<h2><strong>Women could spoil Haley’s party</strong></h2>

<p>Women, who have made up 53 per cent of voters in presidential elections since 2000, generally hold negative views of Nikki Haley.</p>

<p>US President Joe Biden may have trumped his opponent in 2020 US Presidential Election, but as he gears up to contest got a second term in the Oval Office, he faces a tough task. In addition to the usual anti-incumbency factor, US voters are increasingly worried whether Biden is fit to serve a second term. And a recent Gallup poll has reflected the concern. The poll has revealed that Biden has less approval than all&nbsp;recent presidential incumbents.</p>

<p>The poll, as reported in media, has revealed that only 38 per cent of respondents felt that Biden deserved a second term as US president. His predecessor, former US president Donald Trump had an approval rating of 50 per cent in January 2020, the beginning of the election year last time.</p>

<h2><strong>What are the concerns?</strong></h2>

<p>There are several, says the poll. Biden's age remains one of them. If elected again, Biden will be 86 years old by the time he finishes the second term.</p>

<p>The gaffe-prone president has sparked repeated worries about his physical fitness and cognitive abilities as&nbsp;over the last four years, he has taken tumbles and has been observed on official stage forgetting names of the prominent world leaders he had discussions with.</p>

Despite facing accusations in election interference cases and being indicted in a hush-money and classified documents case, the former president maintains his innocence and has dismissed the prosecutions as politically motivated. What does it mean? Contrasting opinions from previous polls suggest varying outcomes. While other January polls favoured Biden in swing states, the Bloomberg News-Morning Consult survey aligns with a November New York Times/Siena College poll, indicating Trump leading Biden by three to 10 points in five of six battleground states.

US elections: Nikki Haley won't quit Republican race, insists can defeat Trump after New Hampshire loss

<p>One of the defining images of Donald Trump's presidency was his faceoff with the then-US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. As the former president strengthened his frontrunner status by winning the Republican primary in New Hampshire, Pelosi launched yet another attack on Trump.&nbsp;</p>

"It was Donald Trump," she added a moment later about the sequence of events on Jan 6, when supporters of Donald Trump attacked the US Capitol after Joe Biden's presidential victory. Pelosi was referring to the alleged denial of the service of the National Guard at the scene to control the riotous situation in the power corridor&nbsp;of the world's oldest democracy on Jan 6, 2021.&nbsp;</p>

Slugfest of oldies? Pelosi mocks Trump with cognitive disorder barb, then mixes up his name with Biden

<p>While most polls show incumbent US President Joe Biden as an underdog in his anticipated contest against Republican ex-US President Donald Trump, another Democrat, Dean Phillips, from Minnesota is vowing to change the equation of the 2024 elections with his own presidential bid. In a recent interview, the Minnesota Congressman said “Joe Biden is one of the least well-positioned Democrats to take on this mission.”</p>

<h2><strong>How popular is Dean Phillips?</strong></h2>

<p>According to a poll released on January 9, Dean Phillips enjoys a meagre 7 per cent support among Democrats. Phillips has spent millions of dollars in his three-month-old presidential campaign, and now he hopes he might get up to “mid-twenties” support in Tuesday’s New Hampshire elections.</p>

<p>The 55-year-old Democrat is hopeful of wider support on Tuesday as Biden is not appearing on the primary ballot. The odd situation came as a result of the Democratic National Committee’s reshuffling of the party’s nominating schedule at Biden’s behest.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Response from fellow Democrats</strong></h2>

<p>Fellow Democrats have gone to great lengths to ridicule Dean Phillips and his presidential campaign. Some have accused him of disrespect and disloyalty and fretted that he is dividing the party. For instance, Rep. Robert Garcia (D., Calif.) told Axios that Phillips’s campaign was a “total joke” and said he had “torched his reputation.”</p>

<p>Not just that, in several states, including Florida, North Carolina and Tennessee, the state Democratic Party has refused to put Phillips on the primary ballot.&nbsp;</p>
