Nikki Haley: No trust in others to save US.
Presidential candidate Nikki Haley dismisses speculation of running for vice president
Presidential candidate Nikki Haley has firmly dismissed speculation that she is in the GOP race to become vice president. In an interview with Politico, Haley clarified her intentions for the 2024 GOP primary, stating that she doesn’t run for second place.
“I think everybody that says, ‘She’s doing this to be vice president,’ needs to understand I don’t run for second,” Haley said. “That’s something that I hear all the time, and I’ll tell you that, look, we have a country to save, and I don’t trust anybody else to do it.”
Haley’s position in the 2024 GOP primary race
Haley is currently the only female candidate in the 2024 GOP primary race. She holds a RealClearPolitics average of 3.4%, ranking fifth nationwide and occasionally rising to second place in state polls, particularly in her home state of South Carolina.
Gender and polling standings
Despite being a female candidate, Haley does not believe her gender will play a significant role in her polling standings. She emphasized that her qualifications and suitability for the job are what matter most.
“Do I happen to be a woman? Yes. Do I happen to be Indian? Yes. Do I happen to be a military spouse? Yes. Do I happen to be a mom? Yes. All those things are great,” she said. “I think that when I become the first female president, it won’t be because I’m a woman. It’ll be because … I’m the right person for the job,” Haley continued.
Haley’s no-nonsense approach
Haley has positioned herself as a no-nonsense candidate, distancing herself from the mudslinging often associated with former President Donald Trump and some other Republican hopefuls.
She has made it clear that she has no interest in engaging in personal fights with Trump or getting involved in his legal cases.
“I’m an accountant. I’m a military spouse. I’m a mom,” she said to Politico. “I understand that we’ve got debt issues, we’ve got crime issues, we’ve got border issues, we’ve got education issues, and we’ve got China literally beating us every day. I don’t have time for the theatrics.”
