For some Republican voters, Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis aren’t at the top of their list for the GOP nomination in 2024. There are conservative Americans who are looking to support a different candidate in the presidential race, including Sen. Mitt Romney, who isn’t a fan of the former president. That’s where Nikki Haley enters the chat.
The former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador is starting to see her star shine for what The Atlanticdescribes as “her chance to consolidate the anti-Trump support in the GOP.” She’s currently trailing behind Donald Trump (naturally) and DeSantis, but she is showing signs of pulling ahead of the Florida governor, which is not good news for his campaign. Haley’s no-nonsense approach in the debate has been one of her strong suits and while she is fine with criticizing Donald Trump, she isn’t swallowed up by the one-note message like Chris Christie is.
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley waves to supporters while arriving ather first campaign event on February 15, 2023 in Charleston, South Carolina.
The other crucial detail she has benefited from is DeSantis’ “dramatic flameout.” Instead of Donald Trump’s heir apparent being “a charismatic, crusading figure,” DeSantis has turned into a major disappointment. His robotic speeches and Florida politics do not translate well to the national stage even though they’ve tried to use his wife, Casey DeSantis, as his “secret weapon.” The voters and the donors are starting to move away at a brisk pace.
Haley’s massive hurdle is trying to overcome Donald Trump’s astonishing lead. It would take a miracle right now to beat him unless his legal challenges finally sideline him. For some Republicans, the effort to support Haley is worth it because they don’t see much of a future with Donald Trump or DeSantis in the White House.
