americans worst off and not making as much money. it s important to understand i am not a lawyer, i am an accountant and i think it s time we had an accountant in the white house. so aobviously your most recently prominent job, and on the topic i want to bring in a farmist, the mayor of now sraeuda, iowa, and he s the chair of the story counting republican party. welcome back to the great state of iowa, ambassador. great to see you. what are national interests here and why should it matter to americans? it has been controversial on what we do with the russia and ukrainian war, but i will tell you this. this is bigger than ukraine. this is a war about freedom and it s one we have to win. you look at those ukrainians and
away from getting more competition in the republican contest and several candidates are launching their bids, but tell the people of iowa and those at home why are you the best republican to take on the president joe biden. the reason we got in when we did is i didn t care who else was getting in or what other issues were at play, we have a country to save and that s all i was thinking about. i took a two-term governor and i was at the u.n. and i dependant deal with one country and i held with 193, and i took the kick me sign off our backs. it s the time to leave baggage in the past, and start thinking about families across america. if you look at all the challenges we have, look at inflation, look at the lack of transparency and education, and look at what is happening with crime and hook at our border, and the idea that we had a
[ applause ] good evening, everyone. welcome to iowa, home of the first republican presidential contest in the 2024 race for the white house. we are live here at grand view university in beautiful des moines for cnn s town hall with former south carolina governor and former u.s. ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley. i am jake tapper. ambassador haley has been a trailblazer and now she hopes to make history again, and now she challenges her boss, the gop frontrunner among others. if elected ambassador haley would become the very first woman and asian american to hold the nation s highest office. this evening s event is about
