Haley says Trump and Biden are equally bad choices for the next president

GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley dismissed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ criticism of her being pro-corporate, claiming she is not “thin-skinned like Donald Trump.”

On Jan. 21, Mr. DeSantis exited from the Republican nomination race and endorsed former President Donald Trump while also taking a dig at Ms. Haley, calling her a “repackaged form of warmed-over corporatism.”

When asked about his comments in an interview with CNN, Ms. Haley replied, “Look, this is what the fellows do. The difference is, I don’t take politics personally. I never have … I’m not thin-skinned like Donald Trump. I think that people don’t want that. They want a leader who’s going to bring out the best in people and get our country going forward.”

Ms. Haley is now the only major Republican challenger to President Trump as all others have pulled out of the race. In her interview, Ms. Haley expressed confidence that she was going to win in the primaries.

“We’ve got New Hampshire. We’ve got South Carolina. We’ve got Super Tuesday. We’re going to keep on going. And we’re going to fight and we’re going to win,” Ms. Haley said.

“I’m used to people underestimating me. It’s always fun. But there were 14 people in this race and now there are two. I’m going to finish this so Joe Biden and Donald Trump are not an issue at all. That we actually put them in the past and we go forward. Because our country deserves it, and Americans want it. They’re tired.”

Responding to Ms. Haley’s comments, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement to The Hill that the former United Nations ambassador “sounds like she’s sensitive about being thin-skinned.”

In addition to Mr. DeSantis, two major Republicans who pulled out of the presidential race have also endorsed President Trump as the GOP candidate.

On Jan. 15, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy announced his exit and later called on Mr. DeSantis and Ms. Haley to follow suit.
