KEN: Nikki Haley. She s regarded as the frontrunner of the 2024 GOP presidential contenders, okay? Now, I go back and forth. I was a huge Nikki Haley fan, but I do go back and forth a little bit because, you know, there s kind of an ebb and flow of her support and/or relationship with President Trump. But, anyway, earlier this week she answered a question: Would you put your name in the running if President Trump chose to run again? and she said, No, I would not run, reinforcing the notion that she believes it s still President Trump s party and her chances of running and winning are greatly diminished if Trump chooses to run. Here s what Rush had to say about Nikki.

if there s one thing uniting americans of every political spectrum, it is apparently anger. this is according to a new nbc news, the wall street journal poll that finds despite overall satisfaction with the state of the u.s. economy and their own personal finances, a majority say they re angry at the political and financial establishment, anxious about its economic future, pessimistic about the country they re leaving for the next generation, specifically 70% are angry because they believe the political system only works for the rich and powerful. 56% of anxious, uncertain about the economy. this as men at the helm of both those faces a run for re-election and has gained a new primary challenger. former republican congressman joe walsh says he will take on president trump for their party s nomination. this election is about trump, period. this election is a referendum on him, the man. he s unqualified. he s unfit. he s a child. he is reckless, he is erratic,
