Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley's campaign lashed out at the Republican National Committee and its chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel, Thursday over a draft resolution being considered by the party to declare Donald Trump the presumptive GOP nominee.
The resolution was proposed Thursday morning by RNC committeeman David Bossie, a former 2016 Trump campaign official, despite Haley's vow to continue her campaign into her home state of South Carolina for its primary next month.
"Who cares what the RNC says? We'll let millions of Republican voters across the country decide who should be our party's nominee, not a bunch of Washington insiders," Haley campaign spokeswoman Olivia Perez-Cubas told Fox News Digital.

"If Ronna McDaniel wants to be helpful she can organize a debate in South Carolina, unless she's also worried that Trump can't handle being on the stage for 90 minutes with Nikki Haley," she added.
The RNC did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Haley is the sole remaining challenger to Trump in the race, and is facing daunting odds after the latter won two convincing victories in the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary. Polls also show her losing by a wide margin to Trump in South Carolina ahead of its primary scheduled for Feb. 24.

Following her loss in New Hampshire, McDaniel called on Haley to drop out of the race so the party to coalesce around Trump as the nominee.
"Looking at the math and the path going forward, I don't see it for Nikki Haley," McDaniel told Fox News. "I think she's run a great campaign, but I do think there is a message that's coming out from the voters which is very clear: We need to unite around our eventual nominee, which is going to be Donald Trump, and we need to make sure we beat Joe Biden."
"It is 10 months away until the November election, and we can't wait any longer to put out foot on the gas to beat the worst president, to beat a president that's kept our borders open, allowed fentanyl to pour through, allowed inflation to go rampant. He is hurting the American people, and we need to do everything we can to unite so that we can defeat him," she added.
Fox News Digital has also reached out to Trump's campaign for comment concerning the resolution.
