Nikki Haley’s campaign manager Betsy Ankney said Saturday that the campaign plans to pour a hefty amount of resources into Super Tuesday states.
Asked by CNN’s Kylie Atwood which of the states she believes Haley can win over former President Donald Trump, Ankney did not specify.
Super Tuesday, which falls on March 5 this year, refers to the date where the greatest number of US states holds primary elections and caucuses.
“Haley has been the underdog in this race the entire time,” she said. “We know that Trump is a juggernaut. We know that he is strong. We know that he has been the de facto leader of the party for the past eight years. So, breaking that hold is going to take a lot.”
Ankney highlighted the significant number of resources the campaign plans to spend ahead of the March 5 elections, adding there’s “a lot at stake.” It includes a seven-figure ad buy in the Super Tuesday states, with national cable and digital spots.
“We are going to be in Michigan tomorrow. We announced a half-million dollar buy there. Then we’re heading to Minneapolis. We’re going to be in Colorado, Utah, North Carolina, Virginia, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont,” she said.
Remember: Super Tuesday, which falls on March 5 this year, refers to the date where the greatest number of US states hold their primary elections and caucuses. Haley has vowed to stay in the race at least through this key date in the presidential election calendar.
Ankney’s comments came shortly before CNN projected Trump’s win over Haley in the GOP primary in her home state of South Carolina.
