‘I Don’t Want My Kids to Live Like This’: Nikki Haley Savages Trump and Biden, Promises to ‘Make America Normal Again’

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley promised to “make America normal again” during an appearance on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show Tuesday morning during which she blamed both Donald Trump and Joe Biden for chaos at home and abroad over the past eight years.

After Hewitt asked Haley to explain her argument that she could beat Biden in a general election while Trump could not, Haley asserted that “the first thing we have to understand is Trump cannot beat Biden in an election. That’s a fact. We know that.”

She continued:

Look at Iowa. Look at New Hampshire. He doesn’t win independents. No one can win a general election if you don’t have independents. He doesn’t win suburban women. He has lost some Republicans who don’t like his style. Not only that, 75% of Americans say they don’t want a rematch between Biden and Trump. The majority of Americans disapprove of Trump and disapprove of Biden. Both of these men put us trillions of dollars in debt that our kids are never going to forgive us for. And are we really going to say that our only choice is to have two guys in their 80s? We can do better than that. You look at all those general election polls. He does not beat Biden. You look at those same general election polls I’m in: I defeat Biden by up to 17 points.

Hewitt followed up by inquiring if Haley expected her argument to be persuasive to GOP primary voters.

“Yes, and it worked with undecideds in New Hampshire and Iowa as well. They want to make America normal again. That’s the number one thing that everybody wants to do. And they know that we can’t afford to lose this general election,” replied Haley. “I have faith in America. But Donald Trump lost in 2018. He lost in 2020. He lost in 2022. What makes you think a fourth try is going to make any difference? We have to start saying, okay, do like I- I voted for Donald Trump twice. This is not personal for me. I was proud to serve America in his administration, but I don’t want my kids to live like this. And we need somebody who can put in a solid eight years and get us back on track. And that’s what I’m determined to do.”
