Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley will dive into a busy 10 days beginning Sunday: She is heading to Michigan and then onto at least eight Super Tuesday states as she keeps her campaign alive, despite a loss in her home state.
Haley’s campaign manager Betsy Ankney told CNN that Haley will travel to Minnesota, Colorado, Utah, North Carolina, Virginia, Massachusetts, Maine and Vermont over the course of the next 10 days.
Haley’s schedule shows where the campaign sees fertile ground, mostly states in the northeast and in the western part of the country.
Massachusetts and Vermont have a winner-take-all rule if one candidate clinches more than 50% of the vote, and the campaign thinks that hitting that goal could be possible for Haley, one campaign official said.
Campaign reaching out to donors: Haley has 10 fundraisers planned — with one in every state that she is visiting — according to a campaign email sent to donors and reviewed by CNN, which promises the sprint to be “a wild ride.”
Some Haley donors told CNN that they still plan to throw their support behind her, despite her South Carolina loss. But one donor said that if she does not perform well on Super Tuesday, it “will put a significant dent in her armor.”
