The Republican presidential hopeful will make a stop at the South Side Music Hall at Gilley’s Dallas on Thursday at 7 p.m.

The visit comes on the heels of Haley's embarrassing primary loss in Nevada, where she was the only Republican candidate on the ballot.

The former UN ambassador was at a campaign event in California on Wednesday where she vowed to continue her campaign and didn’t mention Nevada explicitly, Reuters reports.

“Just know, I’m not going anywhere,” Haley said. “I’m in this for the long haul. And this is going to be messy. And this is going to hurt, and it’s going to leave some bruises.

The Texas primary is on March 5, and Haley is the sole major candidate going up against former President Donald Trump for the GOP nomination.

A study by the University of Houston shows the majority of Texans favor Trump over Haley in the 2024 Texas Republican Presidential primary. Just 19% of those surveyed said they’d vote for Haley, while 80% said they would vote for Trump. One percent said they didn’t know or were unsure.

Several Texas lawmakers have endorsed Trump, including Gov. Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller.

Haley also faces an fast-approaching Feb. 24 primary in her home state of South Carolina, where she was in office from 2011 to 2017. Despite this, Trump is leading Haley there by 26 percentage points.

Haley will make two other Texas campaign stops, in Houston and San Antonio, next week to try to garner support from Texans.
