“Five-Alarm Fire”: A Trump aide said Republicans should be concerned about Nikki Haley’s vote share
Republicans should be worried, according to Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former White House communications director under former US President Donald Trump, since Nikki Haley garnered over 40% of the vote in the South Carolina primary while facing the “virtual incumbent,” Trump.
Furthermore, she said that Nikki Haley’s impressive performance on Saturday ought to act as a “five-alarm fire” for the Republican Party. With a lead over Haley of 59.8% to 39.5%, Trump won the South Carolina primary by around 20 percentage points, according to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ election results tracker.
After the race was called, she spoke at a panel discussion on CNN. Griffin remarked that even though Donald Trump was running with all the advantages of an incumbent, the outcome of the Republican primary vote should worry the Grand Old Party. The former governor of South Carolina was able to get 40% of the GOP primary vote.
“Someone who is receiving 60% of the vote for Donald Trump, who is running as if he were the incumbent, and 40% against him? That is not required. Griffin was cited as stating, “Especially with the entire Republican party apparatus behind him, with most elected Republicans behind him.”
It’s unclear right now what Nikki Haley’s future could hold. We’re all quite open-minded about that, I believe. However, Griffin said, “she is highlighting Donald Trump’s fundamental flaw, and it ought to be a five-alarm fire for the party, but for some reason, it isn’t.”
Nikki Haley has promised to continue competing. She has being urged to withdraw by the Republican party as she has no chance of winning the GOP primary.
She said on Saturday that she was determined to continue running and that she believed it was crucial for voters to still have a choice between the two candidates. “This election is not a one-candidate, Soviet-style contest.” And I owe it to them to provide that option,” Haley said.
After the primary on Saturday, the former Trump adviser said that Haley had made the appropriate remarks, adding, “She’s powering through.” Last night, she spoke what she had to say.
