In her first visit to Iowa since announcing she would run for president, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley made a direct pitch for her candidacy over former President Donald Trump, saying “we’ve got to look forward.”
URBANDALE —
Trump is 76 years old and would turn 80 before he completed a second term as president if he was reelected. President Biden is 80.She formally launched her candidacy last week in South Carolina and has framed her campaign around embracing. She is at once seeking to capitalize on her time in Trump’s administration as his ambassador to the United Nations and create distance with her now-competitor.
Haley’s event drew a couple hundred Iowans to Royal Flooring, an Urbandale business that sells cabinetry and flooring. She was introduced by Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, who praised Haley’s “tenacity” and tenure as the governor of South Carolina.
