Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) said during an interview over the weekend that former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley should drop out of the Republican Party presidential primary because former President Donald Trump dominates news coverage and because poll numbers show that Trump has a dominant lead over her.

Scott made the remarks during a Sunday ABC News interview with Martha Raddatz on “This Week” when asked by Raddatz why he believes that Haley should drop out.

“Well, there’s two things for sure,” he said. “Number one, Donald Trump gets more earned media, probably a billion dollars already, because of who he is and what’s going on around him, number one.”

“Number two, I think he was outspent in Iowa and New Hampshire by his opponents,” he continued. “One thing we know for sure, as this race turns to South Carolina, that the enthusiasm in South Carolina for the former president has never been higher. I’ve seen polls that suggest he’s up by 20 points. I would make a prediction that he wins by more than 20 percent in South Carolina.”
