“70% of Americans do not want Biden or Trump… “We need a new generation of leaders.”
Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, who lost a series of victories in the Republican primary for the 2024 U.S. presidential election, declined to say whether she would support former President Donald Trump in the future.
Former Ambassador Haley was asked on NBC’s weekend talk ‘Meet the Press’ on the 3rd (local time) whether she ruled out the possibility of supporting former President Trump, and said, “That’s not an issue I’m thinking about.”
While former President Trump continues his run based on hard-core conservative party members with a pro-MAGA (Make America Great Again) stance, former Ambassador Haley is under pressure to resign due to a series of primary defeats.
However, he emphasized that day, “To talk about support means to talk about defeat,” and “I don’t think that way.” He continued, “You don’t think about defeat during a primary.”
Former Ambassador Haley said, “I think about continuing to move forward (if there is a primary),” and added, “What I can say is that I don’t think Donald Trump or Joe Biden should be president.”
“We don’t need two candidates in their 80s,” he said. “I don’t think we need Joe Biden calling his opponent a fascist, or Donald Trump calling his opponent a vermin.”
He said on this day, “If 70% of Americans say, ‘I don’t want Trump or Biden,’ that is not a small number.” “No,” he said.
Former Ambassador Haley previously received 43.2% of the vote in the New Hampshire Republican primary held in January, and later received 39.5% of the vote in the South Carolina primary, her political home state.
In the interview, it was also asked whether he would be competitive if he does not win the upcoming Super Tuesday primary. Former Ambassador Haley said, “I don’t look too far ahead. “I see what the American people want.”
Former Ambassador Haley said, “Our people want a new generation of leaders who want to get back to what the American dream is and what we want for our children and to get to a point where we can be proud.”
