Watch top moments in Nikki Haley's Iowa town hall, from torching Trump to defending recent comments
Fox News
Nikki Haley's top moments from her latest Iowa town hall included discussion on a potential pardon of former President Donald Trump and her past controversial comments.
When asked how she planned to overtake Trump, who continues to hold a commanding lead in the polls despite Haley's recent surge in New Hampshire and Iowa, the former South Carolina governor pointed to how many of the same polls indicate she would triumph in a one-on-one matchup with President Biden.

"I defeat Biden by 17 points," Haley said, referencing one recent poll and noting it showed she would perform better than Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, another Republican candidate, in a hypothetical November contest against Biden. "If you win by double digits, you go into Washington with a mandate… It is time to move past President Trump."
