Republican nominee and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley spoke in Greenville, South Carolina, about her commitment to her campaign and not dropping out of the race.
She insists on continuing despite not winning a single delegate and trailing massively behind President Trump.
Another critical moment during her speech was when she began getting choked about talking about her children.
ABC News shares more on that:
During a South Carolina speech Tuesday where former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley vowed to stay in the 2024 Republican primary race, she grew emotional speaking about her husband — recently the subject of jabs from former President Donald Trump — who is deployed to Africa with the South Carolina Army National Guard.
At times holding back tears, Haley reflected on her husband, Maj. Michael Haley, and his second deployment. Haley said he left to keep not only his family safe, but also the country.
“The kids and I know Michael … stepped up to defend our nation’s freedom and our way of life,” Haley said at the event in Greenville, South Carolina.
“They have made their stand because America is worth fighting and even dying for,” Haley said. “Now, I will continue to make my stand because America is worth living for.”
While her speech spurred up a lot of emotions.
Not everyone was buying it.
Sunny Hostin, one of the hosts of ‘The View,’ said she did not believe the tears were real.

Haley’s speech came as recent surveys of the Palmetto State show her down by more than 20 points against Trump. A USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Tuesday showed Haley trailing Trump by 28 points, while a Winthrop University survey showed her trailing by 36 points. Adding to concerns are upcoming primary states looking as if they could produce similar results, with Trump set up to win a massive delegate haul on Super Tuesday next month.
In a memo written by top Trump campaign aides Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles on Tuesday ahead of Haley’s speech, the Trump team argued that under the most conservative estimate they believe Trump will secure enough delegates to clinch the Republican nomination by March 19. But they said a more likely date was March 12 — just three weeks away.
Regardless of her speech, Nikki Haley will not get a single delegate.
I can’t wait to see President Trump sweep through the nation and unite the party.
What do you guys think?
Was Nikki Haley crying crocodile tears, or were they genuine emotions?
