President Donald Trump revealed Thursday that his campaign is planning some massive rallies in South Carolina as he looks to trounce former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) in her home state’s primary. In a post on Truth Social, the 45th president revealed the forthcoming rallies, noting they will be bigger than ones he held in New Hampshire and Iowa, where “a large scale TRUMP RALLY was not in the cards” due to “cold weather and smaller venues.” “But in South Carolina, we are planning some really BIG ones.

The donor class began to cut off all future funding of former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s campaign after she lost the critical Republican primary in New Hampshire, multiple advisers to political megadonors told the Washington Post Wednesday.

Nikki Haley’s last stand is over. The 2024 Republican primaries are over. Donald Trump has won the New Hampshire primary, ending all chances that the former president can be stopped. Ron DeSantis, struggling in the Granite State, withdrew from the 2024 race last weekend. While Haley’s showing in the state was solid, it wasn’t enough for her to win. After this primary, there’s no stopping Trump's bid to re-clinch the 2024 Republican nomination.
