Nikki Haley: We are going to go as long as we are ‘competitive’
Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin reports from Portland, Maine where Nikki Haley is set to hold a rally ahead of the state’s Republican primary election.
Donald Trump is taking another step towards formally locking up the Republican presidential nomination.
The Associated Press on Saturday projected that the former president would win the GOP nominating caucuses in American Samoa, a U.S. territory in the Pacific Ocean. With the win, Donald Trump's delegate count reached 1,075. Joe Biden is at1,866.
Wyoming counties Republican presidential caucuses are being held this weekend. There are 23 delegates at stake in Wyoming.

ONE BIG DECISION: On Monday morning, SCOTUS released a unanimous decision to return Donal Trump to the ballot in Colorado. "We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency," the Court wrote.
The 9-0 decision will likely impact efforts to remove Trump from the ballot in several other states.
ONE NEW FIRST: Haley's first primary win in Washington, D.C. on Sunday means she will walk away with 19 delegates. D.C. represented Haley's possible best shot at notching a victory and ending Trump's undefeated primary streak. While Trump won the district in an uncontested 2020 primary, he finished a distant third behind Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and former Ohio Gov. John Kasich during the 2016 primary. The district also leans heavily Democrat, with President Biden garnering 92% of the Washington, D.C., vote in the 2020 election.
ONE NEW BACKTRACK: With Trump's status as the clear front-runner in seemingly little danger, Haley was asked Sunday on "Meet the Press" whether she planned to support the former president if he secures the GOP nomination, something the former South Carolina governor refused to commit to despite an earlier pledge.
"If you talk about an endorsement, you're talking about a loss. I don't think like that," Haley said when asked if she felt bound by an RNC pledge to support the eventual nominee. "What I can tell you is I don't think Donald Trump or Joe Biden should be president."
"When you're in a race, you don't think about losing."
