Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley announced on Wednesday that she will not run for president in 2028. Haley, who sought the Republican nomination in 2024, stated that she intends to remain involved in American political life and continue to advocate for policies she believes will benefit the United States. She also plans to support political candidates who share her priorities.
In an interview with CNBC, Haley criticized the Trump administration's performance in the November midterm elections, which resulted in significant Democratic gains. She attributed the Republican losses to economic factors, specifically mentioning inflation and rising interest rates that made it difficult for consumers to afford basic necessities like groceries and gas. Haley stated that "the American people were trying to tell the Republicans, to tell them they’re misguided and they’re not representing them, and they showed it at the ballot box."
Haley suggested that former President Donald Trump's "advisers" were responsible for providing him with poor counsel regarding the election. She noted that a president with a low approval rating should not have acted as if he were on the ballot, which she believes did not help the party's performance.
Disagreement on election cause
While Nikki Haley attributed Republican losses in the November midterms to inflation and rising interest rates, Hindustan Times reported that she also criticized the Trump administration for the results. In contrast, Arutz Sheva reported Haley's comments on the election results without mentioning specific economic factors or criticism of the Trump administration.
What the coverage left out
