Indian-American Republican presidential candidate has Nikki Haley bagged her first senatorial endorsement as her campaign announced to have raised a whopping USD 12 million in the month of February. Yet to win a single primary so far, Haley on Friday ruled out a third-party run asserting that she is a Republican to the core. Fighting a losing GOP primary battle against her former boss and former president Donald Trump, the Indian-American is trailing behind by a massive 64 points against her main rival in the Super Tuesday States.

Haley, 51, who has gone ballistic against Trump, 77, ahead of the Super Tuesday primary, however, ruled out a third-party run if she is defeated in the party's electoral battle. "All the talk about the independent No Labels, all that ' I haven't talked to anybody about that. I know that they have sent smoke signals, but I'm a Republican," she told reporters at a media round table here.
