Nikki Haley calls Trump ‘disgruntled’ and ‘vengeful’ as she spars with Fox hosts over electability

Nikki Haley called Donald Trump “disgruntled” and “vengeful” as she sparred with Fox News over her electability versusthat of the former president.

Fox News host Bill Hemmer told the former UN ambassador and South Carolina governor, “You went on to say there a moment ago that he was ‘totally unhinged’… Coming out of New Hampshire, he won 74 per cent of Republicans. To date, 109 counties have voted and you've won two, and one of those by a single vote. When do you start winning Republicans?”

Ms Haley said that she “will win Republicans”.

“But guess who else I win? I win moderates. And I win independents, which he does not. That is why he lost in 2018. That’s why he lost in 2020. That's why he lost in 2022. And that's why in every poll, you see, he loses to Joe Biden, and I win,” she argued. “This is the issue – you can't win a presidential election without moderates and independents. I can get the support of Republicans, moderates and independents. I will do that.”

“I didn't get zero delegates. I've got 17 delegates, we moved 25 points in New Hampshire in the last three weeks of that race – we're going to continue to move in South Carolina. We moved from two per cent to 20 per cent. Now we're gonna do even better than that in South Carolina,” she said.

Mr Hemmer pressed on, saying: “With the schedule coming up, you're not really competing in Nevada, and they got Michigan, Idaho and North Dakota – there [are] 16 states that vote on March 5, that’s Super Tuesday – which of those 16 will you win?”

“We're going to try and push for all of them,” Ms Haley said. “We're going to do everything and anything we can. But right now our focus is on South Carolina. We've always taken it one state at a time, we're gonna keep doing
