Speaking in South Carolina's Charleston, Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley said, "I'm a woman of my word," referring to her earlier remarks about staying in the presidential race until Super Tuesday.
Former US President Donald Trump criticised the New York criminal trial, calling it election interference by US President Joe Biden "because it's the only way he can think to get elected because he's accomplished nothing."
US President Joe Biden won the South Carolina primary on Saturday, giving him the kind of emphatic result he no doubt envisioned when he made the state the first contest on the Democrat's presidential nominating calendar, The New York Times reported.
In a result largely expected, Biden is tipped to defeat his two nearest challengers, Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips and author Marianne Williamson, claiming his first delegates in his quest to win his party's nomination again.
The 2024 presidential election began this week in Iowa, with the state holding its first-in-the-nation caucuses, where former US President Donald Trump registered a huge victory with an unprecedented margin.
Haley made the remarks in response to MSNBC Joy Reid's statement on whether Haley could win the Republican Party nomination. Reid had accused Republicans of being an "anti-immigrant" party and that's why she "can't picture" Haley becoming the GOP nominee in 2024.
The former president of the United States, Donald Trump on Friday vowed that he would travel to Iowa, the state hosting the first-ever caucus, "one way or the other," even in the face of weather worries that would have an impact on the contest's attendance, according to The Hill.
Trump has requested the US Supreme Court to overturn the Colorado state Supreme Court ruling that removed him from the state's 2024 ballot under the 14th Amendment's "insurrectionist clause."
Some of the issues that have contributed to the tensions include the visit of former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan last year and labour practices in Xinjiang.
