CHARLESTON, S.C. ― Donald Trump may have won the South Carolina Republican primary, but Nikki Haley’s better-than-expected performance here exposed glaring weaknesses in the 2024 GOP front-runner’s campaign that could hobble his chances against Democrat Joe Biden.
Haley and her allies argue her vote share says something about how Republicans view Trump and how the party will fare in November. The big question, however, is whether the voters who spurned Trump in the GOP primary will stay home in November, or hold their nose and vote for him because they can’t bring themselves to vote for Biden. Haley has argued that both men are too old to carry out the duties of the presidency, and she has been harshly critical of Biden’s administration and policies.vote. Not voting doesn’t make sense. So I’m going to look very carefully into who the vice president nominee is going to be.
The former president’s appeal is strongest with white, working-class, and evangelical voters without a college degree, a trend picked up by exit polls of GOP voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Haley, meanwhile, attracts educated voters from wealthier suburban areas of the country. The two camps are also divided on the results of the 2020 presidential election: A majority of Trump supporters say Biden wasn’t legitimately elected, while most Haley supporters correctly say he was.
