Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) said Tuesday on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” that former President Donald Trump was “unhinged.” When asked about Trump questioning where her deployed husband was, Haley said, “This is about every military family who sacrifices and knows what it’s like to have their loved one deployed. And this is about a pattern of Donald Trump. I mean, he has said this before where he calls military members suckers or losers. We know that when he was at Arlington Cemetery, he said, ‘What was in it for them?’ He has never even been close...

President Biden swooped to Nikki Haley’s defense against attacks from former President Donald Trump over her deployed husband’s absence from the campaign trail. At a rally in Conway, South Carolina Saturday, Trump sounded off on Maj. Michael Haley, “What happened to her husband? Where is he? He’s gone! He knew.” “The answer is that Major Haley is abroad, serving his country right now. We know he thinks our troops are ‘suckers,’ but this guy wouldn’t know service to his country if it slapped him in the face,” Biden posted on X Sunday.

EXCLUSIVE — A group of 12 prominent conservatives, including a former governor, media executives, and a former U.S. attorney general, have issued a letter calling for Nikki Haley to drop out of the race for president. The former U.N. ambassador is the last remaining GOP opponent in former President Donald Trump‘s quest to win a nonconsecutive second term in the White House. She has vowed to remain in the race and is continuing to raise money, but the group argues she is only damaging her party. “While you have waged a spirited campaign for the 2024 Republican Party nomination, it...

Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley is demanding President Biden “immediately” take a mental competency test following the damning Special Counsel report about his age and failing memory— as at least one congresswoman is moving to try to force him from office. “Joe Biden can’t remember major events in his life, like when he was vice president or when his son died,” Haley posted on X Thursday night, following the report in which Special Counsel Robert Hur described the president as an “elderly man with a poor memory.” “That is sad, but it will be even sadder if we have a...

LAS VEGAS - Former President Donald Trump wasn't on the ballot in Tuesday's Republican presidential primary in the early voting state of Nevada. But his absence wasn't enough to help secure a victory for his last remaining major rival for the 2024 GOP nomination – Nikki Haley. Voters casting ballots in the state-run Republican nominating contest couldn't write in Trump's name, but they could vote for a "none of these candidates" option. And the Associated Press projected that the "none of these candidates" option would defeat Haley in a primary where no delegates to this summer's Republican convention were at...

Nikki Haley faced no major challenger Tuesday in Nevada’s presidential primary. She still lost, according to NBC News projections. Nevada voters in the state-run primary had a choice to reject all the candidates on the ballot, and they did just that — with more people choosing to vote for “none of these candidates” than for Haley. It was a stinging rebuke of the former ambassador to the United Nations and South Carolina governor — and one that some party leaders had encouraged. The outcome in Nevada was Haley's third consecutive loss in an early state primary contest.

Nikki Haley has lost big to Donald Trump in both Iowa and New Hampshire, and the coming states aren’t looking any better for her. But at a local BBQ joint here Thursday, Haley railed against the “political elite pushing us to name a nominee when only two states have voted.” “Why would we stop now?” asked Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and ambassador to the United Nations. The crowd was with her. “Don’t stop!” her supporters shouted. “Don’t stop! Don’t stop!” The message belied the realities on the ground — realities that haven’t escaped her own backers. Haley...

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said his hot-mic remark last month predicting GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley would get “smoked” in the race against former President Trump was a “complete mistake,” but he did not apologize for making the comment. In a preview of a “Good Morning America” interview set to air on Tuesday, Christie recounted the hot-mic moment that took place just minutes before he suspended his presidential campaign, when Christie was heard saying about Haley, “She’s gonna get smoked. And you and I both know it, she’s not up to this.”

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Monday confirmed reporting that she has applied for Secret Service protection, amid an uptick of threats. “We’ve had multiple issues,” Haley told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) Monday, after a campaign event in South Carolina. “It’s not going to stop me from doing what I need to do.” Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, had been the target of two “swatting” attempts at her home in the Palmetto State, according to reporting from ABC News.

It's presidential primary day in Nevada, which for a couple of decades has been a key early voting state in the race for the White House. Three days after a massive victory in South Carolina's Democratic primary, President Biden is expected to score a second straight landslide in Nevada. But things are far from simple in the Republican primary, where only one of the two major contenders left in the battle for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination will appear on the ballot. But Trump, who is the commanding front-runner for the GOP nomination as he makes his third straight White...

We’re going to have Senator Lankford with us shortly, who’s amazed at the response it’s getting and wondering if maybe that could be because Republicans, might feel that they’re in a better position not to have something like this, that it could help Joe Biden. It wouldn’t...
