Nikki Haley Plans Campaign Stop In MA Ahead Of Super Tuesday

NEEDHAM, MA — Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley will hold a rally Saturday in Needham.

Haley is also scheduled to make campaign stops in Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, Virginia, and North Carolina in the lead up to Super Tuesday next week.

Haley, the former South Carolina governor, served as former president Donald Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, and is the only other Republican still in the presidential primary race. About one-third of all available delegates will be up for grabs on Super Tuesday.

Trump won the GOP's South Carolina primary with nearly 60 percent of the vote, NBC News reported.

Haley has said that despite the loss in her home state as well as in Iowa and New Hampshire, she will stay in the race and plans to continue aggressively fundraising in the coming days, according to Politico.

Early voting for the presidential primary began this past weekend across Massachusetts. The Super Tuesday presidential primary is March 5, with 14 states and American Samoa slated to go to the polls that day.

Republican state Rep. Hannah Kane was announced as co-chair of Haley's campaign in Massachusetts last month. She joined MassGOP Chair Jennifer Nassour, state House minority leader Brad Jones, and former governor Charlie Baker's finance secretary Mike Heffernan in co-chairing the Massachusetts Women for Nikki group.

The rally will be at the Sheraton Needham Hotel at 100 Cabot St. at 8 p.m. Saturday.
