WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Tuesday voters in Michigan will head to the polls to cast their ballots in the state’s presidential primary race.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley took her campaign to Michigan Monday where she is hoping Republicans in that state will reject former President Donald Trump on Tuesday.

“Don’t complain about what happens in a general election if you don’t do something in this primary,” Haley said.

Haley says she’s not ready to give up yet– despite Saturday’s 20-point loss to former president Trump in her home state of South Carolina.

But the latest Emerson College/TheHill.com poll shows Trump is leading Haley by well over 40 points in Michigan.

After Michigan, win or lose Haley promises to continue campaigning in multiple states leading up to next week’s Super Tuesday primaries.

“I have never seen the Republican party so unified as it is right now, ” Trump said.

Trump is largely ignoring Haley and looking ahead to a rematch with President Biden.

“We’re going to look at Joe Biden and we’re going to look him right in the eye, he’s destroying our country. And we’re going to say, Joe, you’re fired. Get out, get out, Joe.”

“70% of Americans don’t want a Trump-Biden rematch,” Haley said.

While Trump and Haley are fighting for votes in Michigan, President Biden was in New York Monday raising money for his reelection campaign.
