Nikki Haley: Trump’s spending was excessive.

2024 Presidential Candidate Nikki ⁢Haley Criticizes Trump’s Spending Habits

“He‍ thinks Jan. 6 was a beautiful ​day. I think Jan. 6 was a ⁢terrible day,”

“He spent like a drunken sailor. I am an accountant and I think that ​we have ‌to get ⁢our‍ debt under control, and we’ve got to stop this​ ridiculous spending that’s caused the inflation we’ve got.”

Haley expressed her views on Trump’s⁢ policies while acknowledging that she has “no reason” to ‍engage in a personal fight with the front-runner in the GOP presidential race. Despite ranking fifth nationwide, Haley has shown strong performance in state polls, such as South Carolina, occasionally tying for second⁢ or third place.

“I had​ a great working relationship with him in the administration. Do we differ on policies? Yeah, we do. If that comes up, I’m happy to say it. But ​I’m not Trump-obsessed. I’m just not. I don’t think you have to‍ punch him all the ‌time,” Haley explained.

Trump’s recent indictment by special counsel Jack​ Smith for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol has⁣ once again made headlines. However, polling suggests that⁢ these indictments have had little to no effect on Republican voters, and in some⁤ cases, have even increased support for Trump.

Despite the​ attention surrounding Trump’s indictment, Haley remains ‌unfazed about its impact on the GOP voter base.⁢ She did ‌not rush to release a statement on the recent Jan. 6 indictment, stating that she ⁢is “tired of responding to all the Trump drama.”

“I’m not⁣ diving ⁣into every one of these indictments. I don’t obsess​ over ‌it. In all of‍ these town ⁢halls, no one is asking‍ me ⁣about ‍Trump. Nobody’s asking me about indictments,” Haley emphasized.
