 dropping out of the US presidential race

that she had no intention of withdrawing from the presidential race and

would continue her electoral fight until the closure of the last polling station.


Commenting on her rival's speech

 in the election race, Donald Trump


who suggested that Haley would refuse to participate in the primary 


as a successor to other contenders, Healy said, "I'm not doing


 what I'm asked to do."

She promised to "struggle until the last section closes," adding, "I'm not going to

 talk about the obituary (of my campaign) just because you all (journalists) 

think we should talk about it."

The Republican primary in New Hampshire takes place on Tuesday

 and Healy is Trump's leading challenger to identify

 the GOP presidential nominee following 



the withdrawal of 


businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, former New Jersey and

 Arkansas governors Chris Christie and Asa Hutchinson

and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Trump
