Nikki Haley is gaining attention in the GOP race with her calls for “consensus” around abortion, an unusual tone in a campaign where Republican White House hopefuls often prefer to highlight their eagerness to fight President Joe Biden and other Democrats.
in the U.S., Haley is reviving the personal anecdote she would give in South Carolina — almost verbatim.
“Nikki’s doing what she’s always done,” said Nathan Ballentine, a South Carolina lawmaker who served with Haley in the Legislature and has endorsed her presidential bid. “She’s being honest with the people and will just let it go from there.” “What she ultimately might want, versus what she knows she can get done as an effective leader, are two different things,” said Ballentine, who co-sponsored anti-abortion legislation with Haley when she served in the state legislature. “And she’s not going to mislead the public and make them think that they’re going to get something ... when she knows the reality is, the votes aren’t there in the Senate, and that it’s a process you have to work through.
In 2010, Haley identified with the then-nascent tea party, a state legislator who advocated for spending cuts. Running against three men, Haley attacked what she called the “good ol' boys” dominating the state's politics.
