Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley ruled out the idea of running either as an independent or under a No Labels ticket during an interview on Tuesday.
Haley was asked on Fox News if she would forgo running under No Labels if she didn’t get the GOP presidential nomination and if she would support the eventual Republican nominee, which appears increasingly likely to be former President Trump.
“I am a conservative Republican. I have been all my life, and you know the problem is right now everybody’s saying if you don’t support Donald Trump, you’re a Democrat. That’s terrible, and that’s not unifying, and that’s not going to get anyone to win a general election,” Haley said.
“What I will tell you is I’m a conservative Republican. I have said many, many times, I would not run as an independent. I would not run as No Labels because I am a Republican, and that’s who I’ve always been,” she continued. “That’s what I’m going to do. And so that’s my focus. What we wanted was to give people a voice. We’re going to have that today.”
“Sixteen states and territories are going to vote. God bless America that we get to do that. And then we’re going to take it from there,” she finished.
Super Tuesday represents Haley’s last chance to dig into Trump’s momentum in the GOP primary. The former U.N. ambassador has only won the Washington, D.C., early nominating contest, which featured both Republicans’ names.
