Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is fighting against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for the second spot.
Rubio scored a huge endorsement today. The governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley came out in favor of him. She also bucked front runners Donald Trump and Cruz for being too divisive.

The South Carolina primary is on Saturday. It looks like Trump may pull a strong victory in the state.
