Nikki Haley Criticizes Former President Trump Ahead of New Hampshire Primary
A few days away from next week's critical New Hampshire primary, Nikki Haley is intensifying her criticism of former President Donald Trump and drawing a contrast between their approaches to governing.
The former ambassador to the United Nations is characterizing the nomination contest as a two-person race, and she and her campaign are focused on targeting Trump.
These direct attacks on Trump deviate from Haley's usual dismissiveness of the former president and have emerged as Haley attempts to close the gap with Trump in New Hampshire.
During campaign stops throughout the Granite State, she's been urging voters to move past "the political chaos" that follows Trump and consider her as the alternative to his "drama."
"My style is different (from Trump's). No vendettas, no trauma, no vengeance. It's about results," Haley said in Hollis.
Trump Mocks Haley's Birth Name on Social Media
Former President Donald Trump continues to target former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, on social media. Trump, using his new platform Truth Social, referred to Haley by her birth name "Nimbra" and claimed she lacks the necessary qualities for leadership.
Despite the attacks, Haley remains unfazed. During a campaign stop in Amherst, she dismissed Trump's insults as a sign of his fear and insecurity.
"I'll leave it up to the public to interpret his intentions," Haley stated. "What we do know is that he is clearly insecure. His temper tantrums and excessive spending on television ads only highlight his awareness that something is amiss. Personally, I don't dwell on whether it's personal or not. At the end of the day, it's irrelevant."
