Nikki Haley defends President Trump on the economy and foreign policy and slashes at Joe Biden with claims that he is beholden to liberals in his party.
A look at where President Trump and Joe Biden stand on key issues in the 2020 election, including immigration, racial justice, climate and healthcare.
Like many prominent Republicans, Haley tangled with Trump before he became the party’s nominee. In the lead-up to the 2016 South Carolina primary, she called on Trump to release his tax returns. In response, Trump tweeted, “The people of South Carolina are embarrassed by Nikki Haley!” and Haley responded with the Southern dagger, “Bless your heart.”
Once Trump became the nominee, however, Haley joined the parade of Republican figures who fell into line behind him. In return, Trump nominated Haley to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. As a member of Trump’s Cabinet, Haley largely agreed with Trump on policy, but at times distanced herself.Most notably after Trump said there were “very fine people on both sides” at the white supremacist march in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017, Haley publicly said she had “had a personal conversation” with Trump about it. In her 2019 memoir she was more explicit, saying she had been “deeply disturbed” by Trump’s remarks.
In the memoir, “With All Due Respect,” Haley also wrote that former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and former White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly tried to recruit her to undermine the president, but that she had refused to do so because he was elected by the American people.After she left office, Haley joined the board of Boeing. She resigned this year because she said she opposed the company’s request for a $60-billion government bailout.
