Former President Donald Trump recently took to his Truth Social and posted the following:
“Chris Sununu could have run for the Senate in New Hampshire and WON, but no, he wanted to run for President and, without announcing, did. Sadly for him, he got ZERO traction, and went back to being Governor. Very selfish! Now he is unelectable in his own State, and can back Nikki, who has no chance of winning. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

Meanwhile, Nikki Haley has shareed her personal playlist with the small but growing crowds at her campaign stops in Iowa. It has been noted that as supporters wait for her to appear they are treated to music from Queen, Abba and Pat Benatar.
Middle of the road, easy listening, the music sets the mood. Haley is running a decidedly middle-of-the-road campaign, pitching herself as the moderate, traditional, mainstream conservative candidate.
Notably, there are just five weeks before the Iowa caucuses will provide the first real test of the electoral appeal of the various Republican candidates.
The Iowa caucuses are part of the primaries, in which each state decides on who they want as party nominee. The overall winner is officially crowned at the Republican National Convention (RNC) – a big political event in July 2024.
Iowa results can make or break campaigns. Thereby, Haley, like all her Republican rivals – is crisscrossing the state speaking to as many as voters as possible.
Her policy platform includes tax cuts for small businesses and the middle class. She is promising to shrink the size of the federal government and reduce the deficit. And she is warning that it would endanger America’s national security to reduce support for either Israel or Ukraine.
