UPDATE 11:58 p.m. ET:
Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has joined those calling for Haley to end her failed campaign for the GOP nomination for president and drop out so Republicans can unify behind Trump for president:
McDaniel’s call may be the biggest yet, as now the formal chair of the GOP nationally is saying Haley has no pathway to the GOP nomination and must end her quixotic bid so Republicans can focus on defeating Biden in the general election. This is a massive, massive loss for Haley on Tuesday night, and proof that it is very likely she does not make it to South Carolina from here.
UPDATE 11:36 p.m. ET:
Cracks are beginning to emerge in Haley’s support system. The Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity, while announcing it is in fact staying with her, issues a very carefully-worded statement acknowledging she faces an “uphill battle” for the GOP nomination and that the next state in which she is competing–she is skipping Nevada so has already conceded that to Trump–in South Carolina she faces even “steeper” odds than in New Hampshire where she is on pace for a double digit defeat:
UPDATE 11:33 p.m. ET:
With 81 percent reporting now according to the New York Times, Trump is maintaining his double digit lead over Haley. Trump is at 54.8 percent and Haley is down at 43.6 percent.

But that, plus the possible decrease in donations from rich donors, likely means haley isn't going much past south carolina, if she doesn't drop out earlier...
The McDaniels announcement is very unexpected—and is probably a stunning shock to the Nikita team.
Without at least RNC neutrality her major donors are going to seriously review whether flushing funds down the toilet is really a wise move.
No more money and she is done—in days if not hours.
Nikki won’t back down before her home state S.C. does their primary.....she’s following the usual path of loosers...
1/23/2023
Biden: “It is now clear that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee.”
I am not sure she can make it to SC—in primary season politics things move fast—and she has just been hit with a 9.0 earthquake under her feet.
The money can stop on a dime.
She’s making Ron look like a Genius.
President Trumps lead is now at 12.
She spent more than $30 million in a losing campaign in New Hampshire. That was OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY. Who wants to keep throwing that kind of money away on her?
True - but she did say there are more states than N.H.
Nikita’s statement was early tonight.
The RNC McDaniel statement telling her to “get out” was later in the evening.
What a night.
There is no way Nikita expected the RNC to turn on her—and so fast omg.
She said: “there are dozens and DOZENS more states to go!” and is delusional if she believes that she will now win most of them!
We all know who piled in to vote for her also, and that didn’t even make her
competitive.
President Trump won 75% of the registered Republicans who voted.
That is probably a baseline minimum of what he would do in a closed Republican primary anywhere else.
....I figure she’ll always say she was the only candidate left standing against Trump as a badge of honor.
Fifty-five more, to be precise, according to the wookie’s “husband.”
WSJournal saying......“If she can remain competitive, there’s an argument for Ms. Haley to stay in the race through the July convention. Mr. Trump faces a treacherous legal road…Ms. Haley could stay in the race, rack up delegates, and see what happens if he is found guilty.
Yeah... Even more dems turned out to vote for haley, than I thought would have come out....
Geting rid of independents from both Trump and haley, based the earlier ratio of 70% independents to 27% republicans haley got.
11:30 results
Trump 54.8% * .7 percent republican = 38.36
haley 43.6 * .27 = 11.772
Total 38.36 + 11.772 = 50.132
So, if we get rid of the independent vote,
Then Trump gets 38.36/50.132 * 100 = 76.5%
haley gets 11.772/50.132 * 100 = 23.48%
Which is stupid and meaningless!
So she can’t even do easy math!
I get it—but that is a dumb strategy—because she will only “rack up” a small number of delegates.
Registered Republicans hate her guts.
75% of them voted against her in New Hampshire—that is a baseline of the anti-Haley vote in any closed Republican primary state.
She has zero path—no matter what happens to President Trump.
The vast majority of delegates hate her and would never vote for her for dog catcher.
