Ron DeSantis\u2063 (R-FL), in the upcoming GOP primary debate. And she&#8217;s not holding\u2062 back.<\/p>\n<p>In a bold move, Haley&#8217;s campaign released a \u2064captivating video titled\u2063 &#8220;DeSantis Debate Preview: These Boots Are Made for Lying.&#8221; This video\u200b not only pokes fun at DeSantis \u2062for \u200d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nikki-haley-slams-ron-desantis-for-lying-ahead-of-gop-debate\/\" title=\"Nikki Haley slams Ron DeSantis for 'lying' ahead of GOP debate\">allegedly \u2062wearing height-enhancing cowboy boots<\/a> but also takes a swipe at his energy\u200b policy \u2064record.<\/p>\n<h3>A November\u2063 to Remember: Six\u200b Things to Watch on Election \u200dDay<\/h3>\n<p>The video, \u2064which runs for about two \u2064minutes,\u2063 accuses DeSantis \u2064of being dishonest about his \u2063record and features\u2064 a clip of Haley fiercely criticizing him during the \u200bprevious debate in California.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;What you don&#8217;t \u200bneed\u2063 is \u2064a president who is against energy independence,&#8221; Haley \u200bpassionately \u200bdeclares. &#8220;Ron DeSantis is against fracking. He\u2019s against drilling.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Quick-witted as ever, DeSantis fires back, &#8220;No, it\u2019s not true.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The video \u200cthen presents \u200bmultiple clips of DeSantis adamantly opposing offshore drilling\u200c in Florida and preventing\u2064 the use of\u2063 Floridian land for oil production. In one scene, he even confirms his support for \u2062a fracking \u200cban.<\/p>\n<p>Back\u200b in January 2019, at \u2062the start of his first \u2063term\u200c as governor, DeSantis signed an executive order to oppose &#8220;all offshore oil and gas activities off every \u200dcoast in Florida and hydraulic fracturing in Florida.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, DeSantis&#8217;s campaign wasted no time in responding to Haley&#8217;s video. In a statement to the Washington\u2062 Examiner, \u2062DeSantis&#8217;s press secretary, Bryan\u2064 Griffin, highlighted his candidate&#8217;s strong endorsements, fundraising, and ground game, while also criticizing Haley&#8217;s record on China, accepting \u200drefugees\u2064 from \u200dGaza, and the UN.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;This is a two-man race.\u200b Team Trump knows it \u2014 that&#8217;s why they&#8217;re spending over $1 \u200dmillion this week alone to attack DeSantis in Iowa despite proclaiming the primary was &#8216;over&#8217; in August. And the\u200d other candidates know it, too. With all the attacks and attention\u2063 focused on DeSantis, we know we are over the target and primed to\u2063 win this nomination.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Haley&#8217;s campaign, on the other \u200bhand, took\u200b the opportunity to mock DeSantis&#8217;s decline in national and \u200cstate polls. \u200cHowever, \u2062despite the dip, DeSantis still\u2063 holds second place at\u2063 13.4%, trailing behind former President Donald\u200b Trump at 57.9%, according to a RealClearPolitics poll average. Haley currently sits in third\u200b place at \u200c8.9%. A recent Iowa\u200d poll showed DeSantis and Haley tied in second place at 16%, far behind Trump&#8217;s\u2062 commanding\u2063 lead of 43% among Republican caucusgoers.<\/p>\n<p>As Haley \u2062gains more support from Republican voters, the battle between her and DeSantis intensifies\u200c in \u200ctheir \u200dquest to become the top non-Trump candidate. They have clashed over their positions\u2062 on Israel&#8217;s war against Hamas and \u200dtheir dealings with China.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u200d and his super PAC, Never Back\u200c Down, have repeatedly criticized Haley for granting 197\u2063 acres to the Chinese company Jushi Group near South Carolina&#8217;s Fort\u200c Jackson Army base. The Haley campaign has\u200b accused DeSantis\u200d of spreading falsehoods about\u2064 his record.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the \u200dheated rivalry between DeSantis\u200c and Haley, both candidates face an uphill battle in dethroning Trump, the \u200dfrontrunner in the GOP \u2064presidential primary.\u2064 Trump, confident in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rep-steve-cohen-erupts-during-hearing-after-nc-lt-gov-mark-robinson-accuses-dems-of-using-black-people-as-pawns\/\" title=\"Rep.

Haley emphasizes \u200bthat the\u200b country does not need a president who is against energy independence \u200band \u2063calls out DeSantis for his opposition to fracking and drilling.<\/p>\n<p>In\u200d response to Haley&#8217;s accusations, DeSantis vehemently denies the claims, stating, \u200c&#8221;No, it&#8217;s not \u2062true.&#8221; However, the \u200cvideo presents multiple clips of DeSantis expressing his opposition to offshore \u200cdrilling in\u2062 Florida and his support for a fracking ban. It also highlights his executive order in January 2019, which\u200c opposed offshore oil and gas activities and hydraulic fracturing\u200b in the \u2063state.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis&#8217;s campaign wasted no time in responding to Haley&#8217;s video.
