Episode notes
Haley's Persistence
- Nikki Haley lost South Carolina and her Koch funding but stays in the race.
- This persistence could give Biden's campaign valuable data on swing-state voters.
Haley's Voters
- Nikki Haley won moderates, independents, late deciders, and first-time voters in South Carolina.
- This suggests some voters want an alternative to Trump, even if they ultimately back him.
Trump Underperforms

- His attacks on Haley's husband, a veteran, may have contributed to this.
