We&#8217;re\u2062 results \u200coriented. We know how to bounce multiple balls at the same time, and we don&#8217;t play the nonsense\u2064 drama. \u2063I think it&#8217;s time,&#8221; she \u2064said recently to NBC\u200c News.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As an Indian \u200cAmerican, \u2062Haley is also expected \u200cto remind voters of her parents&#8217; story.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;They came \u200dto \u2062America and settled in a small \u200bSouthern\u200b town. My father\u200c wore a turban. My mother \u200bwore a sari. I was a\u2062 brown\u2063 girl\u200b in a black-and-white world. \u200cWe faced \u200ddiscrimination and hardship, but my\u2063 parents\u200c never \u2064gave in \u2063to grievance and \u2064hate,&#8221; she has \u2063described. \u200dAfter being\u2063 raised by immigrants, Haley became the first\u2062 woman governor \u2063of South Carolina and only the second governor in the \u2063country of Indian \u200cdescent.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Haley also has an opportunity to highlight\u2062 her foreign policy-focused\u2062 message onstage. China has been one of the most important points \u2062for her on the campaign trail, and she was the first in the field to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republican-debate-three-candidates-who-could-break-out-with-trumps-absence\/\" title=\"Republican debate: Three potential breakout candidates in Trump's absence.\">suggest suspending normal trade relations<\/a> with\u200c the country.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>A Haley adviser told \u2064the Washington Examiner, &#8220;Nikki Haley will tell the American people about her record of standing up for this country and\u200d sharing her vision for how she \u200bwill make America strong and proud again. She&#8217;ll always stand \u2063up for \u200dwhat she believes in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Vivek Ramaswamy<\/h3>\n<p>Ramaswamy, who has been \u200dreferred to as a novelty candidate by some \u2062strategists, is \u200clikely to benefit\u200d from the environment of an onstage debate.\u2062 The millennial Indian American entrepreneur is\u2064 a good performer, \u200daccording to GOP \u200bstrategist \u200dDavid Kochel. His comfort in\u200d the spotlight was demonstrated by an impromptu rendition of \u200dEminem&#8217;s &#8220;Lose Yourself&#8221; at the Iowa State Fair earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>Political\u2063 scientists have also pointed out that because Ramaswamy is\u2063 independently wealthy from his business\u2062 expenditures, partnered with the\u2064 fact\u200d that he doesn&#8217;t rely on a large high-dollar donor or \u2062super PAC operation,\u2062 he is much less restrained than \u200bother\u2063 candidates.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;He doesn&#8217;t\u2062 seem constrained by much,&#8221;\u2062 University of Denver Center on \u2063American Politics\u200d Director Seth Masket said. &#8220;He&#8217;s \u200bwilling to make fairly strong and\u200c provocative arguments, but \u2064also without \u2062seeming uninformed \u2014 \u2063he clearly has some knowledge \u2064of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/j-d-vance-and-the-american-dream\/\" title=\"J.D.

He has spent time courting the evangelical vote specifically, an important component of the Republican coalition.<\/p>\n<p>Scott has focused on the\u2064 group \u200dby doing media hits aimed at the group \u200bby joining various\u2063 Christian radio stations and \u200cpodcasts.
