Former President Trump\u2019s victory in the South Carolina Republican primary Saturday night quickly sparked a response from conservatives on social media, many of whom said they believe GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley should step aside and drop out of the race.<\/p>\n

The primary was called for the former president and 2024 GOP frontrunner just moments after polls closed Saturday night, with Trump saying he looks forward to delivering his signature line to President Biden: \u2018Joe, you\u2019re fired.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Congratulations to President Trump on another DOMINANT primary election victory in SC,\u2019 Florida GOP Rep. Byron Donalds wrote in a post on X. \u2018Nikki Haley has lost BIG in every primary & she\u2019s now lost her home state. It\u2019s clear Republicans want President Trump to be our nominee & Nikki Haley has no pathway to victory.\u2019<\/p>\n

Kansas GOP Sen. Roger Marshall also weighed in on Trump\u2019s victory, writing on X, \u2018Congratulations to President Trump for his landslide victory in South Carolina. It\u2019s past time for the GOP to end this political primary charade and unite behind the clear nominee, Donald J. Trump.\u2019<\/p>\n

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah said the \u2018(proverbial) lady is now (metaphorically) singing. Trump won. It\u2019s over. Haley should drop out now.\u2019<\/p>\n

Radio host and former presidential candidate Larry Elder said that Haley \u2018loses and declares victory.\u2019<\/p>\n

Haley, however, has said she is staying in the race.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m a woman of my word. I\u2019m not giving up this fight when a majority of Americans disapprove of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden,\u2019 she told supporters.<\/p>\n

\u2018Today, in South Carolina, we\u2019re getting around 40% of the vote. That\u2019s about what we got in New Hampshire too. I\u2019m an accountant. I know 40% is not 50%.\u00a0But I also know 40% is not some tiny group,\u2019 she said. \u2018There are huge numbers of voters in our Republican primaries who are saying they want an alternative.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re headed to Michigan tomorrow. And we\u2019re headed to the Super Tuesday states throughout all of next week,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

Commentator Jesse Kelly called on Trump to take a forward-looking approach as he took another step closer to becoming the nominee.<\/p>\n

\u2018Time for Team Trump to tighten up messaging and stop talking about Nikki Haley. And Ron DeSantis. Take the W and focus on Biden. Absolutely zero benefit comes from blasting the ones you\u2019ve beaten,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

When asked by Fox News Digital whether he wanted Nikki Haley to drop out of the race, Trump told Fox News Digital that he\u2019s \u2018really not thinking about that\u2026 I\u2019m not thinking about it.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m really thinking about we have to beat Joe Biden,\u2019 he told Fox News Digital. \u2018I don\u2019t know if she\u2019s in the race at all, because, you know, I have set records in every single state. I\u2019m not sure that she\u2019s really in the race.\u2019<\/p>\n
