"Nikki Haley's Last Stand: The Final Push on Super Tuesday"

Supporters of Nikki Haley's Republican presidential nomination bid are focusing on early March nominating contests, including "Super Tuesday," as they face daunting odds in her home state of South Carolina where former President Donald Trump holds strong support. Despite trailing in polls and losing the first four nominating contests, backers are pouring money into states with college-educated suburbanites, hoping for a comeback. Some donors believe Trump's legal issues could force him out, leaving Haley as the heir apparent. However, analysts and supporters acknowledge the exceedingly remote chances of an upset, emphasizing the importance of a strong showing in early March to avoid being mathematically eliminated from the contest.

"Trump's Sneaker Launch Met with Boos Amid Legal Battles"

Former President Donald Trump was met with both boos and cheers as he promoted his new $399 "Never Surrender" sneakers at Sneaker Con, a day after being ordered to pay $355 million in penalties in his New York civil fraud trial. The launch came after Judge Arthur Engoron's decision to punish Trump, his company, and executives for inflating his wealth on financial statements. The sneakers, described as limited-edition and "a true collector's item," quickly sold out on a new website. Trump also made an appeal to younger voters as he closes in on the Republican presidential nomination.

"Nikki Haley Dominates GOP Debate, Emerges as Trump's Top Rival Ahead of Iowa Vote"

Nikki Haley emerges as Donald Trump's strongest challenger for the Republican presidential nomination after the withdrawal of Chris Christie, with hopes of seizing second place in Iowa and closing on Trump in New Hampshire. Despite Trump's hefty leads in the polls, his rivals slogged it out on the CNN stage while he took an easy ride at a Fox News town hall. Christie's withdrawal may benefit Haley, but she remains behind Trump, particularly in her home state of South Carolina, while Ron DeSantis is seen to be in deep trouble and would have reason to be concerned about Haley becoming the only viable competitor to Trump.
