Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is tamping down rumors she could run as an independent candidate or under a third-party No Labels ticket.
Haley was asked on Fox News if she would consider running under No Labels if she didn't win the GOP presidential nomination and if she would support the eventual Republican nominee.
“I am a conservative Republican. I have been all my life, and you know the problem is right now everybody's saying if you don't support Donald Trump, you're a Democrat. That's terrible, and that's not unifying, and that's not going to get anyone to win a general election,” Haley said.
“What I will tell you is I'm a conservative Republican. I have said many, many times, I would not run as an independent. I would not run as No Labels because I am a Republican, and that's who I've always been,” she continued. “That's what I'm going to do. And so that's my focus. What we wanted was to give people a voice. We're going to have that today.”
“Sixteen states and territories are going to vote. God bless America that we get to do that. And then we're going to take it from there,” she finished.
No Labels national director Joe Cunningham said on Fox News last month that “Nikki Haley is somebody we'd definitely be interested in.”
Last year, No Labels founder and CEO Nancy Jacobson said that the group would end its third-party push if the results aided former President Donald Trump. However, she stopped short of identifying any specific metrics the group would use.
