What Nikki Haley has said about politicians' mental competency, abortion, foreign policy and more
Nikki Haley is having a moment. Here's a closer look at what she's saying on the trail. Nikki Haley, a former U.N. ambassador and governor of South Carolina now running for president, believes she's gaining momentum. Haley has said her campaign received a boost after her performance in the first Republican primary debate, last month, and a FiveThirtyEight/Washington Post/Ipsos survey also showed likely GOP voters gave her high marks based on what they saw. Adding to the momentum was a poll released by CNN last week that found -- even though the general election is still 14 months away -- Haley was the only major GOP candidate to beat President Joe Biden in a hypothetical matchup: 49% to his 43%. Nonetheless, she is still polling in the primary in the single digits nationally, according to FiveThirtyEight, far behind front-runner Donald Trump. She is faring little better in most polls of key early voting states like Iowa. MORE: Pence-Haley-Ramaswamy fight intensifies race ...
