TROY, Michigan — Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley was adamant before Michigan Republicans that she is the GOP presidential candidate who can win the 2024 general election against President Joe Biden despite former President Donald Trump‘s 20-percentage-point win this weekend in South Carolina.

“You can’t have a candidate who’s going to win a primary who can’t win a general,” Haley told a crowd on Sunday in Troy, Michigan, one day after she was soundly defeated in her home state.
