00:00 In a high-stakes showdown, former President Donald Trump is vying for a decisive victory
00:06 in the South Carolina primary, aiming to secure his fourth consecutive win and deal a significant
00:11 blow to his last major rival Nikki Haley for the Republican nomination.
00:16 Trump, the dominant frontrunner, has enjoyed a substantial lead in the polls and support
00:21 of key Republican figures in the state.
00:24 However, Haley, the former UN ambassador and two-time South Carolina governor, has relentlessly
00:30 crisscrossed the state, asserting that the 77-year-old Trump is too old and distracted
00:35 to reclaim the presidency.
00:37 In a state where the winner of the Republican primary has historically gone on to become
00:41 the party's nominee, all eyes are on this crucial contest.
00:45 Even as Trump positions himself for a potential general election rematch against President
00:49 Joe Biden, Haley remains steadfast in her commitment to continue the race, regardless
00:54 of the outcome.
00:55 Trump's backers, many of whom had supported Haley during her gubernatorial tenure, expressed
01:01 confidence in a solid victory on Saturday, aligning with the former president's ongoing
01:05 large rallies and fundraising events across the country.
01:09 In response, Haley has seized on moments from Trump's rallies to bolster her argument against
01:14 him.
01:15 Trump's comments about her husband's absence on the campaign trail while on a National
01:19 Guard deployment became an ammunition for Haley, who framed it as evidence that the
01:24 frontrunner lacks respect for service members and their families.
01:28 Trump's statements on encouraging countries like Russia to act as they please against
01:32 NATO members failing to meet defense-bending targets have given Haley another line of attack.
01:38 She characterizes these moments as evidence of Trump's volatility and perceived weakness
01:43 in dealing with Russia.
01:45 In a strategic move, Haley has extended an indirect appeal to Democrats urging those
01:49 who skipped their own primary to participate in the Republican contest.
01:53 She emphasized that anyone who abstained from the Democratic primary on February 3 is welcome
01:58 to vote in this critical Republican primary.
02:01 As the South Carolina primary unfolds, the political landscape is on edge, with the nation
02:06 watching closely to see whether Trump can secure his fourth consecutive victory or if
02:10 Haley will defy expectations and continue her campaign, setting the stage for a prolonged
02:16 and contentious battle for the Republican nomination.
