Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley (51), who is running as a Republican candidate for the 2024 US presidential election, indirectly criticized former and incumbent presidents by emphasizing ‘conservative leadership in a new era’ in her first TV advertisement.
On the 1st (local time), former Ambassador Haley’s campaign released its first 30-second TV commercial titled ‘Moral Clarity.’
In this ad, former Ambassador Haley asserts, “Now is the time for a new era of conservative leadership,” and “the nation must leave behind the chaos and drama of the past.”
The short video includes scenes from Haley’s time as UN ambassador, including former Ambassador Haley’s visit to Israel. He mentions ‘chaos’ twice in the ad, pointing out that “Americans are feeling chaos not only in the streets and on college campuses, but also abroad, in countries such as Russia, China, and Iran.”
“Americans are tired of the chaos and drama of the past,” Olivia Perez-Cuvas, a spokeswoman for former Ambassador Haley’s campaign, said in a statement about the ad. “He is the only candidate,” he emphasized.
In fact, former Ambassador Haley had the upper hand in the bilateral confrontation with President Biden. According to a Marquette University Law School poll, in a virtual match between the two, former Ambassador Haley received an approval rating of 55% and President Biden received an approval rating of 45%.
This is a significant margin ahead of the leading Republican presidential candidates, former President Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Former President Trump led Biden by 4 percentage points, and DeSantis led by 2 percentage points.
As such, former Ambassador Haley has recently emerged as an opponent of former President Trump, surpassing Governor DeSantis within the Republican Party. According to the Washington Post (WP) on the 21st of last month, former Ambassador Haley tied for second place with Governor DeSantis in Iowa, and took second place alone in New Hampshire and South Carolina, closely following former President Trump. did.
Former Ambassador Haley’s strength is that she is different from former President Trump in terms of race and women’s issues, as she is the only woman among the Republican candidates and is a Sikh from Punjab, India. However, she advocates active foreign intervention based on America’s military power, which places her in the neoconservative camp of the Republican Party.
U.S. Wall Street banks also want a third candidate besides President Biden or former President Trump. At an event held by the New York Times on the 29th of last month, Jamie Dimon, Chairman of JP Morgan Chase, urged people to support former Ambassador Haley, saying, “Even if you are a very progressive Democrat, I urge you to help Haley as well.” did.
