Former South Carolina Republican Gov. Nikki Haley announced Tuesday in a video that she will run for president in 2024, becoming the first major rival to challenge former President Donald Trump for the GOP nomination.
Conservative pundit Ann Coulter is under fire for a racist tirade against new Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley.
In an appearance on the "The Mark Simone Show" podcast this week, Coulter made several xenophobic comments about Haley, the former governor of South Carolina who was born in the U.S. to Indian immigrant parents. "Why don't you go back to your own country?" Coulter said.
...
Coulter also called Haley a "bimbo" and a "preposterous creature," criticizing her for having advocated removing the Confederate flag from the grounds of the South Carolina Statehouse in the wake of the 2015 shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston.
During an episode of CNN This Morning that aired Thursday, Lemon said that Haley, who recently announced her candidacy for president in the 2024 election, "isn't in her prime." Haley is 51.
The CNN anchor continued with his argument by adding a women is "considered to be in her prime in her 20s and 30s and maybe 40s."
We are a society of assholes.
"I'm sorry that I said it," Lemon said at an editorial meeting with his colleagues on Friday, according to CNN. "And I certainly see why people found it completely misguided."
But the state of the non-apology has never been better!

Now Nikki Haley was always a favorite of Trump's, right? Has he said anything negative about her? I mean, THIS WILL NOT STAND, but I see this as being a modest gut-punch for ol' Donny-boy.

I think she is a spoiler.
In three way polling she takes enough votes from desantis for trump to easily win the nomination.
In two way voting desantis could win.
It's the opposite. More candidates helps Trump - same as 2015/2016. He has a solid block that may or may not be a majority of the Republican base. But it's safe to say 40%+. Any block of primary voters pulling 10%+ or more gives Trump a plurality.

I think you are misreading, you both are saying the exact same thing.
