00:21 Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who is trailing Trump for her party's nomination,

00:26 told NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday she'll continue in the race for as long as voters

00:32 want her to be.

00:33 "They'll show it in their votes, they'll show it in their donations.

00:36 My focus is we need to start respecting taxpayer dollars.

00:40 We need to reduce the size of government.

00:41 We need to secure our borders and be a country of law and order.

00:45 And we believe in peace through strength."

00:47 Immigration is also among the topics that former President Trump chose to focus on ahead

00:53 of what is known as Super Tuesday.

00:55 "Not one more innocent American life should be lost to migrant crime.

01:00 We've got to stop it.

01:01 You have to get out the vote because we have to send big numbers up for November 5th.

01:35 Donald Trump is dangerous to women and to our families.

01:40 We simply cannot let him win."
