Former president Donald Trump's 2024 campaign criticized former United Nations ambassador and South Carolina governor Nikki Haley (R) after she announced her candidacy for president.
Moments after Haley launched her presidential bid in Charleston, South Carolina, the Trump campaign released an email headlined "The Real Nikki Haley."
The email listed seven critiques of prior comments that Haley has made, including her statement in April 2021 that she would not run for president if Trump did.
"I would not run if President Trump ran, and I would talk to him about it. That's something that we will have a conversation about at some point if that decision is something that has to be made," she said.
Despite her comments, Haley changed her mind, entering the 2024 GOP presidential race, arguing that it is "time for a new generation to lead."
Get excited! Time for a new generation.

While serving as U.N. ambassador under the Trump administration, Haley said she "had a great working relationship" with the former president.

The Trump campaign also blasted Haley's 2012 interview with the New York Times, during which she said, "The real reason I actually ran for office is because of Hillary Clinton."
"I went to Birmingham University and Hillary Clinton was the keynote speaker on a leadership institute and she said that when it comes to women running for office, there will be everybody that tells you why you shouldn't but that's all the reasons why we need you to do it and I walked out of there thinking, that's it. I'm running for office," she said at the time.

> Trump better start spending his time in NOISE attacking Biden and the enemies of this country instead of fellow Republicans. <
Totally agree. The only time to attack fellow Republicans is during the primary season.
Focus on Democrats at all other times.
But to be fair, Trump is not the only one breaking this rule.
As long as Pres. Trump attacks Republicans instead of the Democrats, he is not my candidate.
Most of the benefits come from Fedzilla who requires the state to administer them.
Primaries are still over a year away. People actually like to have a break from the constant campaign mode.
Or I would say, do it actually during Primary Season, and not a year before. Focus on this disastrous Administration.
He’s the only one of any importance doing it.
Has he criticized Lady Lindsey lately?
I don’t remember any criticisms. He should be constantly telling that idiot to shut up.
Well, yeah and the big fight is after that...
Gotta wonder why Texans are giving them all these benefits...Texas isn't giving them all these benefits...YOU ARE.
Who's the clueless one in this picture?
this won’t be an issue until October 2024 when Democrats raise it.
Are you following Trump’s example?
trump claims the experimental shots are “safe and effective”...
Every illegal alien that comes into our country IS NOT ABIDING BY OUR LAWS! Sadly, Biden, the democrats and some republicans are aiding and abetting the criminals who enter our nation illegally with impunity.
We are living in la la land American - and it must end!
trump claims the experimental shots are “safe and effective”...
Nothing wrong with that....IMO...
“Hillary Clinton was the keynote speaker on a leadership institute...”
If Hillary! is your inspiration, PLEASE switch teams!
Ugh! These people!
After the ‘flag debacle’ when she was Governor, I’d NEVER vote for Nikki. Same way I’d NEVER vote for Jeb! who killed Terri Schaivo.
What a future of self-indulgent grifter LOSERS we’re facing!
Save us President in Exile Trump! You’re our only hope! ;)
I agree..
However, Haley was what I call, a democrat before she went half way riding the fence..
I don’t trust her.. She is thinking president but no way capable of fixing this mess.
trump was a democrat in his prior life before he ran for president as a republican...
Holy crap, dude. Where do you get your news? You sound like CNN.
Trump batted around 98% in the primaries, and 92% in the general. How is that dismal?
Is she the Howard Dean of the RINO party?
What a lightweight!!
