Trump hits back at Haley's claim that she is a better candidate to beat Biden

Former President Donald Trump refuted opponent Nikki Haley's claim that she is a better general election candidate to compete against President Biden, as voters head to the polls in a variety of states on Super Tuesday. 

"It's a lie. She knows it's a lie," Trump told Lawrence Jones and Brian Kilmeade during a "Fox & Friends" phone interview Tuesday, downplaying polls that have shown Haley performing better versus Biden.

"We are winning against Biden in every single poll, and everybody knows it, whether it's the New York Times, whether it's any of the polls that have been taken over the last three months. So she is misrepresenting that fact and it's fine. It's not going to matter because I think we're going to win every state tonight."

His remarks come after Haley suggested she has a better chance to oust Biden than Trump does during a campaign event on Monday, despite only having one primary victory under her belt.
