This latest win marks Trump's fourth consecutive victory in the Republican presidential primaries, having previously clinched wins in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada, thereby establishing a notable advantage over Haley. Notably, the victory holds particular significance for Trump given Haley's tenure as the two-term governor of South Carolina.

While Haley, a former two-term governor of South Carolina, has narrowed the gap with Trump in her home state, national media remains skeptical, favoring Trump as the eventual Republican nominee. However, Haley and her team remain steadfast, emphasizing the importance of voters' choices in both primary and general elections.

Addressing a significant gathering in South Carolina ahead of the February 24 Republican primary, Haley, 52, emphasized her willingness to speak candidly, asserting that she does not fear retribution from Trump and has no personal political ambitions tied to him.

Haley, the former US Ambassador to the UN, expressed concerns about the potential threats to the NATO alliance if former President Donald Trump were to be re-elected. She underscored NATO's significant role as a 75-year success story in maintaining stability and deterring aggression.

Haley, the former UN ambassador, emphasized that India desires to be a partner with the US but harbors reservations due to perceived weaknesses in US leadership. She stated that India's reluctance to fully align with the US is rooted in its perception of American weakness, leading it to seek partnerships with Russia.
