Ms. Haley held a rally in the nation’s capital on Friday before heading back to North Carolina and a series of states holding Super Tuesday primaries. As she gave her standard campaign speech, criticising Mr. Trump for running up federal deficit, one rallygoer bellowed, “He cannot win a general election. It’s madness.” That prompted agreement from Ms. Haley, who argues that she can deny Mr. Biden a second term but Mr. Trump won’t be able to. On the other hand, 8 in 10 Trump supporters identified as conservatives, compared to about half of Ms. Haley’s backers.
