Former S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley, despite her loss in her home state of South Carolina in February, said she is staying in the GOP presidential primary race.

Haley had pledged to stay in the race even if she lost the Palmetto State, and she said she's sticking with that.

"I’m a woman of my word. I’m not giving up this fight when a majority of Americans disapprove of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden," she told supporters after her loss on Feb. 24.

Former President Donald Trump won the state's GOP primary.

"We’re headed to Michigan tomorrow. And we’re headed to the Super Tuesday states throughout all of next week," she said.

Last week, Trump beat Haley in Michigan where the remaining 39 of the state's 55 presidential delegates went to Trump.

Michigan Republicans were forced to split their primary into two parts after Democrats who control the state government moved Michigan into the early primary states, violating the national Republican Party’s rules.
