Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley's impressive performance in South Carolina on Saturday, according to Alyssa Farah Griffin, the former director of communications for President Trump's White House, should be a "five-alarm inferno" for the GOP.
Trump defeated Haley by over 20 points in Saturday's South Carolina primary, with 59.8 percent of the vote against 39.5 percent, according to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ election results tracker.
Farah Griffin said that the Republican party should be worried because Haley was able to get 40% of the GOP primary vote despite her opponent having all the advantages of an incumbent during a panel discussion on CNN after the results of the contest.
"Someone receiving sixty percent of the vote for Donald Trump, who is running as if he were the incumbent, and forty percent against him? It is not required, she said. "Especially with the majority of elected Republicans supporting him, and the whole Republican party machinery behind him."
Farah Griffin went on, "It is unknown what a route may look like for Nikki Haley right now. We are all quite open-minded about that, I believe. However, she is highlighting Donald Trump's core flaws, which ought to be a five-alarm inferno for the party but, for some reason, isn't.
Though there are demands for Haley to withdraw, she has vowed to continue running since the GOP primary is still very much in her favor.
But on Saturday, she reaffirmed her intention to continue running and said that she believed it was crucial for voters to still have a choice between candidates, "not an election with just one candidate, as in the Soviet Union." And it is my responsibility to provide them that option.
After the primary ended on Saturday, Haley stated what was proper, according to Farah Griffin: "She is powering through." Last night, she spoke what she had to say.
