Nikki Haley has intensified her criticism of her rivals’ ages, targeting former President Donald Trump. Speaking to a New Hampshire audience, Haley questioned the wisdom of having presidential candidates in their 80s, a sentiment echoed by some attendees. When challenged about her focus on age, Haley emphasized the importance of mental competency for the role, suggesting mental competency tests for Congress.
Haley also highlighted Trump’s recent confusion, citing his mistaken claim that she was responsible for security lapses on January 6, instead of Nancy Pelosi. She used this to underscore concerns about Trump’s mental clarity, likening it to Joe Biden’s gaffes.
Recently, Haley has become more outspoken in her criticism of Trump, focusing on his age, spending during his tenure, and the public’s apparent fatigue with a Biden-Trump rematch. Citing a poll showing 70% of Americans opposing a Biden-Trump election rerun, she has used this data to bolster her campaign narrative.
This strategy appears to be resonating in New Hampshire, where she has significantly reduced Trump’s lead in the polls. Over the past two months, Haley has halved Trump’s lead, bringing it down from 22 points to an 11-point difference, as reported by The Hill and Decision Desk HQ.
