George H.W Bush, Nikki Haley, and Elizabeth Warren
Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley isn't the first presidential hopeful to lose her home state. Future President George H.W. Bush lost Texas in 1980 and Sen. Elizabeth Warren finished third in Massachusetts in 2020.
  • Nikki Haley isn't the first presidential hopeful to lose her home state.
  • Recent candidates, including Sens. Marco Rubio and Elizabeth Warren, suffered similar fates.
  • Not everyone who has such a loss was able to restart their career after.

You can't always go home.

Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley learned this the hard way after a drubbing in the South Carolina GOP presidential primary.
