Haley is the only GOP rival who remains standing against Trump, who maintains his status as the primary frontunner following his victories in Iowa and New Hampshire.
The former South Carolina governor is expected to face an uphill battle in her home state. The RealClearPolitics average has Trump leading her by over 30 points. However, Haley vows to remain in the race as the sole alternative to Trump as she argues that the country needs a leader of a different generation in the White House.
