Trump-Democrat offensive continues
Proposal of solidarity: “We welcome joining forces”
DeSantis says he will never accept it
Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley (pictured), the U.S. opposition Republican presidential candidate, announced on the 5th (local time) that she would not rule out nominating Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, her rival in the party’s primary, as the vice presidential candidate. Due to the recent surge in approval ratings, he proposed solidarity with Governor DeSantis as intensive attacks continued from not only former President Donald Trump but also the ruling Democratic Party.
Former Ambassador Haley said in an interview with NBC News that day, “My goal is to beat Trump alone,” but added, “If DeSantis wants to join forces with me, I would welcome it.” He also indirectly called on former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, an anti-Trump candidate within the Republican Party, to resign as a candidate, saying, “If he wants to defeat Trump, he will know exactly what to do.” The goal is to unite the anti-Trump faction within the Republican Party. However, Governor DeSantis told Fox News, “Under no circumstances will I accept the vice president’s offer.”
In various opinion polls conducted since December of last year, former Ambassador Haley’s average approval rating was 11.0%, ranking second in the party after former President Trump. However, former President Trump still has an overwhelming lead with an approval rating in the 60% range, and former Ambassador Haley’s approval rating is slowing down due to controversy over her recent remarks.
The attacks against former Ambassador Haley are also becoming more intense. Former President Trump said at a rally on the 5th, “Nikki hit back by criticizing the border wall (to prevent illegal immigration) during the 2016 presidential campaign,” and claimed, “Haley’s policies will be similar to the Joe Biden administration.” did. The Democratic Party also responded to former Ambassador Haley’s hiring of a person who supported former President Trump’s claim that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent as the head of New Hampshire’s election campaign headquarters, saying, “Haley is easily giving in to MAGA (Trump’s presidential slogan) supporters.” “He is a person,” he criticized.
