But\u200b Haley believes she can take \u2062advantage\u2063 of and blunt that \u2064momentum by using Ramaswamy as a foil,\u2064 in particular when it comes to national\u200d security matters.<\/p>\n<p>In one\u200c of \u200dher latest broadsides against Ramaswamy, a \u2063first-time politician who has embraced\u200c the &#8220;America First&#8221; agenda of Haley&#8217;s\u2063 onetime boss, former President\u2063 Donald Trump, she slammed Ramaswamy for his views\u200d on Iran.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;@VivekGRamaswamy\u200b must have missed that\u2062 the fanatical\u2064 terrorist regime\u2062 in Iran regularly calls for \u2018Death \u2063to\u2064 America.&#8217; If he doesn\u2019t see a\u200b nuclear Iran\u200b as a threat to American security, then he should take \u2063his place beside AOC and the Squad\u2064 and get nowhere near\u200d the White\u200d House,&#8221; Haley posted on\u2062 X, the platform formerly \u2064known\u2064 as \u2063Twitter.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Haley was referring to a recent interview Ramaswamy did with Israel Hayom in which\u200b he suggested that while he believes\u200d in a &#8220;strong&#8221; Israel, \u2063he \u200cdidn&#8217;t support U.S. military intervention in \u200ba potential conflict with \u2063Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Ramaswamy pushed back against Haley&#8217;s comments that \u2063he \u200disn&#8217;t presidential material, \u2064claiming\u2062 on X that her\u200c statements were &#8220;another flagrant &#038; dishonest distortion by the neocons.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Watch the actual video. I explicitly state we \u200d <strong>*would*<\/strong> fully support Israel, including\u2063 militarily, \u200dbut\u2062 that \u2062we should <strong>*not*<\/strong> want U.S. men &#038; women dying\u200b in a \u2062war between Israel and Iran,&#8221; he \u200csaid.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If Pence, Haley, Christie, &#038; Rove feel differently, they should have the spine to say how many Americans they\u2019d be \u200bprepared to see die in that conflict,&#8221; he added, referring to his other GOP rivals.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This \u2062war of words between \u2064Haley \u2064and Ramaswamy intensified\u200b in the run-up to the first \u2063Republican \u200dNational Committee\u200d debate in \u2064Milwaukee \u2064and \u2062hasn&#8217;t let up\u2063 since.<\/p>\n<p>Two days \u2063before the Aug. 23 debate, Haley lambasted Ramaswamy for suggesting\u2064 he wouldn&#8217;t\u2064 continue financial aid to\u200b Israel after a $38\u200b billion package expires in \u20642028. \u201cVivek Ramaswamy is completely wrong to call\u200c for ending America\u2019s special bond with\u200d Israel,\u201d Haley said\u2063 in a statement. \u201cSupport for\u200c Israel\u200c is both\u200c the morally right and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nikki-haley-slams-vivek-ramaswamys-stance-on-israel-completely-wrong\/\" title=\"Nikki Haley criticizes Vivek Ramaswamy's Israel stance as 'totally mistaken'.\">strategically smart thing<\/a> to\u2064 do. Both \u2062countries are stronger and safer because of \u200cour iron-clad friendship.

You have no foreign policy experience, and it shows.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Haley has surged since that performance, according to \u200dTrump\u200d pollster Tony Fabrizio, who released \u200ba memo\u200b noting that Haley was tied with Ramaswamy and Gov. \u2064Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for second place in New Hampshire, home \u200dto the first primary of the GOP\u2063 nominating calendar.<\/p>\n<p>A DeSantis-aligned poll from \u2063Public Opinion\u200b Strategies also showed Haley&#8217;s support \u200cincrease from\u2063 3% \u200bto 11% in Iowa, the first caucus \u200dstate, after the \u2063debate.<\/p>\n<p>Ramaswamy \u200bhas\u200c responded \u2063to the onslaught \u2063of attacks, from Haley and other 2024 rivals, \u2063by launching a campaign website on \u200dMonday to clarify where he stands on the issues.<\/p>\n<p>He notably references \u2062Haley&#8217;s comments. &#8220;WRONG. \u2064Keep lying, \u200dNamrata Randhawa,&#8221; the campaign posted while simultaneously misspelling Haley&#8217;s first name, \u2064Nimarata, and referencing her maiden name, Randhawa. &#8220;The desperation\u200d is showing. By the end of Vivek&#8217;s first term, the U.S.-Israel relationship will \u2062be deeper and stronger than \u200cever because \u200dit \u2063won&#8217;t\u200b be a\u200c client relationship, \u2062it will\u200b be a\u200b true friendship.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The next day, Haley struck \u200bback. \u201cRamaswamy\u2019s attacks \u2063&#038; desperate attempts\u200d at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chris-christie-joins-2024-rivals-in-attacking-vivek-ramaswamy-on-foreign-policy\/\" title=\"Chris Christie joins 2024 rivals in criticizing Vivek Ramaswamy's foreign policy.\">damage control don\u2019<\/a>t \u2063change how he treats our friend Israel\u2063 &#038; how his dangerous policies\u200b make America less safe,\u201d Haley posted. &#8220;Israel faces genocidal threats from\u2064 Hamas,\u2064 Hezbollah, Iran, &#038; Syria. Our \u2063next president must \u2062understand that. Vivek said we should abandon Israel \u200cafter 2028.
