Nikki Haley Finally Gets The Two-Person Race She Claimed She Won In Iowa

EXETER, N.H. – Just two days before the crucial New Hampshire primary, Nikki Haley finally got the one-on-one showdown with coup-attempting former president Donald Trump she has been wanting following the exit of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Haley delivered her standard stump speech, warning about the $34 trillion debt, hitting Democratic President Joe Biden for his handling of the southern border, stressing the importance of early education and veterans’ health care and the need to stand up to China and Russia.
