“Nikki Haley isn’t wrong when she says it’s early in the GOP primary — less than 3 percent of delegates have been awarded so far,” Politico reports.
“But the rest of the states are coming fast, and the relative lull over the next four weeks before the South Carolina primary is followed by a sprint: Within four weeks after Haley faces former President Donald Trump in her home state, more than 70 percent of the delegates to the Republican convention in July will have been awarded.”
“That sudden acceleration could be whiplash-inducing for Haley, who already faces an unfriendly electorate in the upcoming states. The former South Carolina governor has been able to mount a challenge to Trump by investing significant time and money into individual states. And now she faces a primary calendar that requires a totally different approach.”
