Donald Trump won’t be the Republican nominee for U.S. presidential polls: Nikki Haley
The Hindu
Nikki Haley, Indian American presidential candidate, says Trump won't be GOP nominee in 2024. Polls show her in 3rd spot after Trump and DeSantis. She supports term limits and mental competency tests for those over 75. Believes younger generation should take over to make America safe and secure.
With her campaign gaining momentum after last month's Republican primary debate, Indian American presidential candidate Nikki Haley has said former U.S. president Donald Trump would not be the party’s nominee for the 2024 presidential elections.
The latest opinion poll released by The Wall Street Journal revealed that Ms. Haley, 51, was in the third spot in terms of popularity rating after Mr. Trump and Ron DeSantis. Her fellow Indian American candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was in the fourth spot.
“I don't think Mr. Trump's going to be the nominee. I think it's going to be me. But I will tell you that any Republican is better than what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are doing,” Ms. Haley told CBS News in an interview on Sunday.
According to RealClearPolitics which monitors all the major national polls, Mr. Trump tops the list of average of all such polls with 53.6% followed by Mr. DeSantis (13%), Mr. Ramaswamy (7.1%) and Ms. Haley (6%).
Ms. Haley, the former U.S. ambassador to the U.N., said that a vote for President Biden is a vote for Vice President Harris.
“He is innocent until proven guilty. But you are implying that the American people are not smart. The American people are not going to vote for a convicted criminal. The American people are going to vote for someone who can win a general election. I have faith in the American people,” she said in response to a question.
“They know what they need to do. So I think that, yes, I will support the Republican nominee always. I will make sure that that we're going to pick someone that's going to beat a President Kamala Harris, because we can't have a President Kamala Harris, or we'll never get our country back,” she said.
