Former President Donald Trump resurrected an old conspiracy by promoting a “birther” conspiracy against Nikki Haley, a rising Republican rival, on his Truth Social platform. He shared an article from a right-wing outlet questioning Haley’s eligibility for the presidency based on her parents’ citizenship status at the time of her birth. However, Haley, born in South Carolina, is a natural-born U.S. citizen under the 14th Amendment and is eligible to become president. Haley’s increasing popularity is evident as she closely trails Trump in a recent University of New Hampshire/CNN poll.
This isn’t Trump’s first instance of promoting birther claims; he previously questioned former President Barack Obama’s birthplace, a stance many perceived as racially motivated. The Haley campaign has yet to respond to these allegations. Interestingly, Trump himself has a non-U.S. born parent, with his mother hailing from Scotland.
