MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE - Former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that former ambassador Nikki Haley should drop out of the presidential race and suggested she has "sinister" motives if she doesn’t."I think that if she stays in this race, it will continue to reveal that there are some sinister forces at work here," Ramaswamy told Fox News Digital on Tuesday afternoon as New Hampshire residents were casting their votes in the first in the nation GOP primary."There's no path for her to defeat Donald Trump through the front door, which means what they're actually rooting for is eliminating him from competition and then it becomes no mystery that the very people propping up Nikki Haley are the very people who are also paying for the lawsuits to keep Donald J.

"And I think this could really take an ugly turn in the way that this reveals the corruption of the Republican Party itself if Nikki Haley continues to stay in this race."Ramaswamy continued, "I think the positive thing to do for the country would be for this primary to end tonight, as I believe it should. For all intents and purposes, it is already done as of tonight.

"Donald Trump will be the nominee and will be the next president. But more importantly, it's about how we revive those ideals in this country. And so, yes, I do believe it's time for us to not only reunite this party, but dare I say, reunite this country.

This race is far from over."Campaign manager Betsy Ankney told reporters on Saturday that Haley will hold a large event in her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina, on Wednesday, the same day that the campaign will launch a $4 million statewide ad blitz."We're going to South Carolina, we have put in the ad buy. We're there," Haley emphasized on Tuesday. "This has always been a marathon. It's never been a sprint. We wanted to be strong in Iowa. We want to be stronger than that in New Hampshire.
