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.

    She needed to be attacking his ass for the past 16 months. It’s too little too late now.

    That said, when you look at what’s happening in Nevada, where they’re just making up new primary and caucus rules to make her votes not count at all, this is what a rigged election actually looks like.

      This is bizarre really. Polling shows it’s not even competitive. There’s an outside chance Haley might win maybe two states at most, and that’s unlikely.

      Trump would win the primary legit, but they’re rigging things anyway. That’s some top tier crookery.

        They want to declare Trump the winner so he can formally start to tap into the RNC war chest.

      Really the cutoff should be Jan. 7 2021. If they weren’t calling him out by then (or stopped at any point since then), they’re only doing it when it’s self-serving and convenient.
