She has been campaigning since her loss to Donald Trump in New Hampshire's Republican primary earlier this month.
Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and UN ambassador to the United Nations, is running for president in 2024. She has been campaigning since her loss to Donald Trump in New Hampshire's Republican primary earlier this month. Despite facing a significant deficit in polling averages compared to Trump, Haley remains committed to staying in the race and believes she can take on the former president.
Trump won 20 of Iowa's nominating delegates in the 2016 presidential election.
He received less than five percentage points more than a majority in New Hampshire after winning less than 8 percent of registered Republicans there.
The game is his to lose as he has lost the national popular vote twice, presidency, Senate and House, and his party underperformed in the 2022 elections.
Trump promises to raise the cost of living for his lower-income idolaters by imposing 10 percent tariffs on all imports from everywhere, which are taxes paid by American consumers and producers.

George F. Will is attempting to deceive his readers by presenting a false narrative about Nikki Haley's decision not to run for president in 2024. He falsely claims that she has been invited into the race and will be running against Donald Trump, when in reality, she has stated publicly that she does not plan on running for president.
When George F. Will writes 'Readers who did not see her combative, soaring Tuesday night speech can do so on YouTube.' he is lying about the fact that Nikki Haley's speech was anything but combative and soaring.

George F. Will's article contains several examples of bias that could be considered harmful to the Republican Party and its voters. Firstly, he uses inflammatory language such as 'vermin' when referring to those who did not support Trump in Iowa and New Hampshire. This is an example of religious bias as it implies a moral superiority over others based on their political beliefs. Secondly, Will dismisses the importance of debating Nikki Haley by calling her combative speech a coward's caution, which could be seen as ideological bias against those who hold different opinions from him. Thirdly, he uses language that dehumanizes Trump and his supporters such as 'closers,' which is an example of monetary bias. Lastly, Will makes assumptions about the motivations behind Haley's decision to run for president without providing any evidence or context, which could be seen as a disproportionate number of quotations that reflect a specific position.
