When asked if she would drop out of the race if she didn’t win the New Hampshire primary, Haley firmly responded, “No, I don’t get out if I lose today.” She emphasized that the country shouldn’t be judged solely based on the 56,000 people who voted for Trump, and that the people of New Hampshire deserved to have their voices heard.
Despite being questioned about her low polling numbers compared to Trump in her home state of South Carolina, Haley remained resolute in her decision to stay in the race. Co-host Brian Kilmeade asked if there was any scenario where she would drop out, to which Haley replied, “I’m going to fight no matter what.”

Haley reiterated her stance, stating, “I’m going to fight no matter what. I don’t care how much y’all want to coronate Donald Trump. At the end of the day, that’s not what Americans want. Americans want a choice. And we’re going to give them that same.”
Co-host Brian Kilmeade expressed his frustration, questioning why Haley viewed the media as the enemy. Haley responded by pointing out the media’s bias and their attempts to prematurely declare Trump as the winner. She emphasized that such actions went against the principles of democracy and questioned when it became acceptable to dismiss the choices of the American people.
How has Haley been vocal about the need for fair and unbiased reporting throughout her political career?
The media tries to spin it, the truth is that the American people are tired of the same old politics and they want someone who will fight for them. And that’s exactly what I intend to do.”
Haley’s strong stance against media bias is not new. Throughout her political career, she has been vocal about the need for fair and unbiased reporting. In a recent op-ed for The Wall Street Journal, Haley wrote, “Journalists have a responsibility to report the facts, not push their own agenda. We need reporters who will ask tough questions and hold politicians accountable, regardless of their party affiliation.”
Indeed, the media landscape in America has become increasingly polarized in recent years. News outlets on both the left and the right have been accused of reporting with a biased perspective, leading to a lack of trust in the media among the general public. This perception of bias has only been exacerbated by the rise of social media, where misinformation and partisan rhetoric can spread like wildfire.
In the interview on “Fox & Friends,” Haley called out the media’s attempts to dictate the Republican presidential nominee. She argued that it is not the media’s role to decide who the American people should support, but rather to provide objective reporting and analysis.
Haley’s fight against media bias is not just a battle for her own political aspirations; it is a fight for the integrity of the democratic process. If the media is able to sway public opinion and manipulate the outcome of elections, then the principles of a fair and representative democracy are at stake.
This is not to say that all media outlets are inherently biased. There are journalists and news organizations who strive for objectivity and fairness in their reporting. However, the prevalence of biased reporting has created a culture of skepticism and distrust.
In her op-ed, Haley called for greater transparency in media ownership and funding. She argued that the public has a right to know who is funding the news organizations they rely on for information. This transparency, she believes, would help to hold media outlets accountable and ensure greater fairness in reporting.
As she continues her campaign in the New Hampshire primary, Haley’s fight against media bias will likely remain a central theme. By standing up to the media, she is sending a clear message that she will not be silenced or swayed by their attempts to shape public opinion.
Ultimately, Haley’s fight is not just about her own political ambitions, but about defending the integrity of the democratic process and ensuring that the voices of the American people are heard. As she said in the interview, “The American people deserve a choice. And I am here to give them that choice.”
As the 2024 presidential race continues to take shape, it is clear that the issue of media bias will remain a significant factor. The American people will look to candidates like Nikki Haley who are willing to take a stand against biased reporting and fight for a fair and representative democracy.
Only time will tell how successful Haley’s fight against media bias will be, but one thing is certain – she is not backing down anytime soon.
