Donald Trump and Nikki Haley are gearing up for a crucial contest in the South Carolina Republican primary. Current polling data shows Trump leading in Haley's home state, with Trump at around 60% of the vote compared to Haley's 30%. Despite the polling numbers, Haley remains determined to stay in the race, having outspent Trump significantly in South Carolina, with $16 million to Trump's $1 million.
Haley spent her last day on the campaign trail criticizing Trump, accusing him of aligning with Putin, whom she labeled a dictator and tyrant. The Biden campaign also launched scathing remarks against Trump, branding him as a symbol of modern racism.
The Trump campaign has not directly responded to these attacks but believes they can attract African-American voters and are targeting this demographic aggressively. Historically, no major party nominee has lost their home state since the modern primary era began in 1972.
As the race intensifies, Haley faces the risk of losing South Carolina after already falling short in the early primary states. The outcome of the South Carolina primary could shape the future of her campaign.
On a separate note, the issue of in vitro fertilization (IVF) has gained attention, with the Alabama Supreme Court ruling against IVF, considering embryos as babies. Trump voiced support for IVF, emphasizing the importance of making fertility treatments accessible nationwide.
Trump's stance on IVF aligns with public opinion, as it is widely popular among Americans. His endorsement of IVF comes amidst debates surrounding reproductive rights and the recent Supreme Court appointments during his presidency.
Meanwhile, Haley has released a new ad in a last-minute effort to sway undecided voters as the primary race heats up.
