Haley, who won the district primary over former President Donald Trump, has for weeks pledged to stay in the race through Super Tuesday, when 15 states and American Samoa will hold nominating contests.
“It could be anywhere between 2,000 and 6,000 voters,” district GOP chair Patrick Mara predicted in an interview with NBC News last week.
Mara said the campaigns for both Haley and Trump were sending text messages and doing phone calls to inspire turnout ahead of the primary, even having some volunteers go door-to-door.
The primary is run by the local Republican Party rather than the state, which is common in other nominating contests, with just one polling location at the Madison Hotel.
He said Trump’s dominance in early primary states and the perception that the Republican nominating process also impacted low turnout.
“The average Washington Republican is politically astute and more media-savvy, they have seen coverage telling people the race is over,” Mara said.
