Ambassador Nikki Haley opened up to a gathering of young Republicans running for office on Friday night, urging them to \u201cpush through the fear\u201d and to \u201ctrust your gut\u201d 10 days ahead of the Iowa caucuses. <\/p>\n<p> Haley appeared alongside Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) at their first event together in Iowa since he endorsed her last month. During the event, Sununu interviewed Haley in front of a dinner event hosted by Run Gen Z, a group dedicated to empowering young Republicans to run for office. The dinner event included young leaders from around the country. <\/p>\n<p> TRUMP SEEKS TO &#8216;WIN BIG&#8217; IN IOWA KILL SHOT <\/p>\n<p> \u201cIf I didn\u2019t push through the fear, I wouldn\u2019t be running for president. But, when you push through the fear, that\u2019s when the magic happens,\u201d Haley said, answering a prompt from Sununu. <\/p>\n<p> The former South Carolina governor reflected on her 2004 victory when she ran for the state legislature in a conservative district in Lexington County. She was able to unseat Larry Koon, the longest-serving member in the Statehouse who had deep roots in the state. <\/p>\n<p> \u201cHe was related to half the district; truly, he was related to half the district. And it\u2019s not always what you do; it\u2019s how you do it,\u201d Haley said. \u201cDo the things that are uncomfortable to do. None of that was comfortable.\u201d <\/p>\n<p> She also advised young Republicans in the crowd that the key to success is to maintain a work-life balance. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don&#8217;t live, eat, and breathe politics all the time. I don&#8217;t. I like to be normal. And so I like to have fun. I like to joke around,\u201d Haley said. \u201c You know, when I&#8217;m at home, I&#8217;m not watching the news. I&#8217;m under a blanket with a glass of bubbles, and I&#8217;m watching a movie with my husband. That\u2019s what we do.\u201d <\/p>\n<p> \u201cYou have to have a normal life and your work life, and that balance will make you better,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n<p> After facing criticism over a comment she made to a New Hampshire audience suggesting Iowa \u201cstarts\u201d the election process and New Hampshire will \u201ccorrect it,\u201d Haley attempted to do more damage control on Friday night. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI find Iowans to be very patriotic, very hardworking, and very careful. You&#8217;re very conscious about who they give their support to and what that means,\u201d she said. \u201cThey want to see you a lot; they want to ask you questions.\u201d <\/p>\n<p> CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER <\/p>\n<p> \u201cIt reminds me a lot of South Carolina because I grew up in rural South Carolina. So whenever I see farmland, that\u2019s peace to me. That feels like home. It&#8217;s a beautiful thing.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Sununu will join Haley at three town hall events over the weekend. The first voters will decide who they want as the GOP nominee during the Jan. 15 Iowa caucuses. Former President Donald Trump consistently leads his rivals in national and early nominating state polling. A RealClearPolitics average shows Trump at 62.7%, Haley at 11%, and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) at 10.9%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DES MOINES, Iowa \u2014 Former U.N.
