2024 Election: Nikki Haley holds rally in Fort Worth Monday
FORT WORTH, Texas - Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley held a campaign rally in Fort Worth on Monday ahead of her Super Tuesday contests against GOP-favorite Donald Trump.
Haley was introduced by Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker at Tannahill's Tavern and Music Hall at The Stockyards. Her speech was interrupted a number of times by protestors.
The former South Carolina governor is trailing Trump by double digits, but she hasn't indicated whether she'll drop out of the race after Tuesday.
Haley is coming off of her first victory over Trump this campaign season in Washington, DC. However, Trump holds a large lead over Haley in the polls in Texas.
It was a room full of energy and also protestors Monday, but the message from the former ambassador is not sticking — at least not with states that have already voted.
About one thousand supporters were on hand at The Stockyards in Fort Worth.
Haley continued to criticize Trump for the nation’s debt and killing the bipartisan border bill.
A poor showing during Super Tuesday's contests could be the nail in the coffin for the Haley campaign.
Haley would only say she wants to be competitive on Tuesday but didn’t say what states she thinks she has the best shot in.
About 10 pro-Palestinian protesters were removed during the rally.
This is the former governor's second visit to North Texas this campaign season. She held an event at Gilley's in Dallas on February 15.
Election Day is Tuesday, March 5. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
