She acknowledged that she must do better in the South Carolina primary than in New Hampshire to continue her campaign.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley blasted the Republican National Committee on Sunday, saying it was not an honest broker in the party’s 2024 primary race.

In an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Haley, the last remaining major GOP opponent to former President Donald Trump, said the RNC was “clearly not” playing fairly.

“Do you think the RNC has been an honest broker in this case?” moderator Kristen Welker asked.

Haley replied, “I mean, clearly not.”

“If you’re gonna go in and basically tell the American people that you’re gonna go and decide who the nominee is after only two states have voted? I mean, 48 states out there?” she said. “This is a democracy. The American people want to have their say in who is going to be their nominee. We need to give them that.”

Haley noted that it takes 1,215 delegates to reach the nomination, the majority of which have yet to be allocated.

    In an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Haley, the last remaining major GOP opponent to former President Donald Trump, said the RNC was “clearly not” playing fairly.

    “Do you think the RNC has been an honest broker in this case?” moderator Kristen Welker asked.

    Haley also did not say that she does not need to win her home state of South Carolina on Feb. 24 to stay in the presidential race, but she contended that she must perform better than she did in the New Hampshire primary.

    Before Trump’s decisive win in the New Hampshire primary last week, RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel signaled that the party will rally behind Trump if he continues to build on his strong performance in the early caucuses and primaries.

    “If President Trump comes out strong tonight, that’s a clear message being sent by our primary voters,” McDaniel said in a statement to NBC News before the New Hampshire results came last week.
