- Donald Trump is on course for a landslide win over Nikki Haley in South Carolina
- Aides say it will be the last time he focuses on Haley as he pivots to attack Biden
- He will use a major Saturday speech to set out choice facing voters in November
Donald Trump will use a major speech to conservatives Saturday to underline the choice facing them in November’s election, warning that four more years of President Joe Biden will unleash extremist forces on the country.
Polls suggest he is on course for a landslide primary win over Nikki Haley, his last remaining rival for the Republican nomination, on her home turf of South Carolina later in the day.
And aides say he will all but ignore her challenge for the rest of the race, instead turning his fire on Biden.
That starts at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) held just outside Washington D.C., where he will offer a nightmare vision of dangerous streets and campuses patrolled by protesters under another Biden term.
‘Just imagine it…With four more years of Biden…Hamas and Antifa will terrorize our streets, while their brutal ideology takes over our schools,’ he will say, according to exclusive extracts shared with DailyMail.com.

On Saturday, Trump is expected to easily beat Nikki Haley in the South Carolina primary. Aides say it will be the last time he focuses on her, instead pivoting to the contest with Biden
Biden offered full-throated support to Israel in the wake of the Hamas terror attack last year.
But with protests against Israel growing, his administration has warned the Israeli government against launching the next phase of its assault on Gaza.
And on Thursday, protesters even infiltrated the hotel where Biden was staying in San Francisco, chanting: ‘Biden, Biden, you can’t hide. We charge you with genocide.’
Campuses have been rocked by anti-Israel protests for months as progressives urge a ceasefire in Gaza.
Trump will warn his audience that it is just a taste of things to come if he does not win and he will set the stark choice facing voters in November.
‘Believe me when I offer you another warning: If Crooked Joe and his thugs win in 2024, the worst is yet to come,’ he will say.
Polls suggest South Carolina’s electorate will give a huge boost to Trump on Saturday. An average maintained by the FiveThirtyEight website suggests the former president could win by a margin of 30 points in the state where Haley served as governor.
She has promised to fight on in the race whatever happens and has kept up her attacks on the frontrunner.

Trump, 77, has already scored convincing wins in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada, is plotting a different course. He is not even planning to travel to Michigan on Tuesday when it holds its primary.
His aides joke that if Haley wants attention she will have to get a job on The View or with liberal broadcaster MSNBC.
They say Trump will now focus only on the match-up with Biden and ramp up attacks on the president ahead of next month’s State of the Union address.
On Saturday, he will tell conservatives that it is up to them to make their feelings clear and finish the job begun with his election in 2016
‘Eight years later, the Swamp has rejected your righteous pleas for reform—and at the ballot box this November, it is you the people who will deliver their reckoning,’ he is expected to say.
‘The more the corrupt establishment tries to stop us, the more you know the day is near at hand when we will break free from their grip forever.’

Specifically he will ask CPAC attendees to imagine inflation after another four years of Biden. And he will ask them to imagine Biden’s fitness for office when the 81-year-old is another four years older.
‘These are the stakes of this election,’ he will say. Our country is being destroyed, and the only think standing between you and its obliteration is me.’
With your vote, he will tell supporters, ‘We will throw out Bidenomics, and we will reinstate Maganomics.’

‘We’re not very worried about tomorrow,’ he said. ‘We want to aim for November 5.’
