Nikki Haley has consistently high favorables — 47% of Republicans view her favorably, with just 19% viewing her unfavorably — and the fact that she's a Gen X, Indian American woman running to compete with President Joe Biden, who would be 86 at the end of a second term in the Oval Office, and Kamala Harris, another Gen X, Indian American woman, explains why some Democrats are terrified of the chance Haley catches fire.
As a presidential contender, Haley has made the most headlines sparring with fellow Republicans over foreign policy, and as the only woman in the race, she's campaigned on the fact that she's always stood up to bullies on the international stage. But while the media and the top two candidates in the race, former President Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis , may ignore economic policy, Haley has not. The question is whether she can capitalize on the issue during the debate.
Of the serious contenders on the stage, only Haley and former Vice President Mike Pence have proudly and publicly committed to serious entitlement reform, including raising the retirement age for Social Security. Compare that to Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy, who have promised not to reform the programs. In practice, that means a 23% across-the-board benefit cut once the program becomes insolvent in 10 years.
On cable news, Haley sounds prepared. On campaign stops, she sounds impassioned, and incredibly, voters positively respond to a candidate giving them tough news instead of the sycophancy they've come to expect from Trump.
