Former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley officially kicked off her GOP bid for the White House on Wednesday, telling a packed South Carolina rally that it’s time to move past the “faded names of the past” — a clear reference to Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

Haley, a former South Carolina governor, addressed supporters in Charleston just one days after revealing she was throwing her hat in the ring to challenge 76-year-old former President Trump in the 2024 Republican primary in a bid to take on President Biden, 80, who has yet to formally announce a reelection bid.

“We won’t win the fight for the 21st century if we keep trusting politicians from the 20th century,” she told the crowd.

Trump is a master of the “counter-punch”. Coming towards Haley in 3 - 2 - 1....

I think he already defined her, as a liar. Read my lips, I won't run if Trump runs.

I think Nikki will surprise many of you. She now has a lot of time to reintroduce herself and to present her vision of America in 2024. In the long run, Ms Haley is likely to make a big splash in the Nomination Sweepstakes.
May the Best Candidate win!

In 2016, we had 17; do you think we’ll get to that point again?
DJT sure whittled the losers down, didn’t he? LOL.

You’re not exactly a shiny penny yourself, Nikki.

[Quentin Quarantino]

The banality of the Deep State GOPe, she reeks of it.

[R0CK3T]

Nikki Is a complete joke. 🤡

If you liked Jeb, Ryan, and Lindsey you’ll LOVE Nikki. Hell, she may even add Liz to her team as the VP!!!

Yippie /s. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Please clap……2

I caught some of her presser, they sure needed more applause starters in the audience. She stopped after line after line and there was awkward silence before they got the hint to clap.

amen to that. Trigg needs her at home.

100% correct. The poster you are responding to obviously still doesn’t get what happened. Wish more were wide awake rather than sleep walking through life.

There are plenty of Freepers whose day, I suspect, consists of getting up in the morning, making a pot of coffee, sitting down to the computer, sending off a few posts, and then it's off to the park or the bingo parlor, ended by a a nice cup of cocoa in front of Fox News. Not a bad day, really, but not a day in which any real understanding of the changes that have occurred in the last 30-40 years, especially the last 4 years, is able to happen.

Here’s a faded name from the past: Nimrata Randhawa

[safisoft]

She was woke before woke was a thing

[jospehm20]

Because Biden got 81 million votes?

[Verginius Rufus]

Correct. I don't see how Trump can win in 2024 since nothing has been done to make it harder for the Democrats to steal the critical states that Trump won in 2016 but lost in 2020 like Pennsylvania and Georgia.

Nikki may be really running for Vice President. It would be a big mistake for Trump (or whoever the nominee is) to put her on the ticket. A lot of Southerners might decide to stay home.

Keep it up Nikki, you are turning into a dot head version of Chris Christie and a whole lot of people will hate you.

[bankwalker]

blue Nikki ...

[catnipman]

it’d be nice if trump simply ignored carly fiorina, uh, i mean nikki haley ... if trump refuses to insult or engage her, the media will dump her like week old mash potatoes ...

[libh8er]

why does she think she has to kick PDJT, for Heaven's sake?

Makes me wonder - did she want to be Sec State and "only" got UN Ambassadorship ? Regardless, RINO ingrate Namrata will never be anything again in the future.

[Osage Orange]

I need pics

[353FMG]

I can’t help it that she reminds me of Kamala but definitely smarter.
