will put into effect the sound policies that donald trump did. and so-so no, i don t think she ll differentiate herself. i think she ll lay out a division of priorities that the country will like, and it will be just what america needs now. it s going to take a lot to turn this ship around, and i think she is the person to do it. i saw her do it in south carolina, and i think she ll do it for south carolina. there is another south carolinian in the race, the junior senator representing south carolina in the u.s. senate, tim scott. what made you decide to go with nikki haley when you have another person who you serve with in the congress running for president? well, i mean, i served with tim scott a short time when he came in the house. symptom a great friend of mine, a great guy. i just think nikki haley has what it takes. her personal skills, her retail politics. but i think what she is underestimated on is her strength. she will be an iron fist with a velvet glove, like margaret
administration and what the biden administration has done to this country, it s going to take eight years. it s going to take somebody with energy. and i will tell you what, you will see tonight, nikki haley is definitely not past her prime. she will answer questions, any question asked of her, you will see the real nikki haley. and i m excited about her candidacy. when you endorsed the ambassador, you said that the republican party has entered a, quote, season of change and is looking for new leadership. but as you know, the former president donald trump is the very clear front-runner at this time. do you think that she has to make a very sharp contrast between her and what she would do as president and her former boss? absolutely not. nikki haley will be nikki haley. she ll be real. she ll be authentic. look, the policies of president trump were phenomenal. look at what we re facing now. and haley and all the others
differentiate herself and stand up on ukraine. the fact that her husband just got deployed and is in the military not to ukraine but to africa, gives her another element in a state where there are a lot of veterans. that s a place where i would work. one of the things about nikki haley, anybody that knows her or worked with her, and we know she s extremely tal kwreptd. i always said nikki haley is one of the most talented politicians in the country, and the problem is people don t know what she stands for. tonight i think people have the opportunity to she gets one shot. i know it s early, but nikki haley gets one shot, while the nuggets and everybody else are playing, and she gets one opportunity to show the world what she stapdz for and i think
this is. this is iowa. we just haven t been properly introduced. say hello to the place where rolling hills meets low bills. where our fields, inside and out, are always growing. and where the fun is just getting started. this is iowa. so, when are you coming to see us? tonight, nikki haley could
race. and they have to make a case that they re strong enough on the issues, that there is enough of a difference between them and trump s position, that it matters that they re even in the race. but not so much of a difference that they alienate those voters. and that s really difficult for nikki haley to do. but she has some advantages. and i think principle among them is just who she is. she is a woman, a person of color, a former governor. and i think all of those things really give her a little bit of a different spin on some of these issues. it might allow her to have a little bit more nuance than perhaps some of the other candidates do. but we ll see how she how much of that she is willing to showcase tonight, given how early we are in the process. it s going to be a lot of pressure, right? if you re not going to outflank trump on the right, those people who are going after not the never trimpers, but maybe not today trumpers, the trump fatigue type people, that lane is go
