Washington, Feb 9: Fresh out of her stinging loss in the Nevada primary, a confident Nikki Haley has reiterated that the US will have a female president in 2024 – either her or Vice President Kamala Harris – both Indian-Americans.
“This is about the fact that we are going to have a female President of the US. It will either be me or it will be Kamala Harris,” the Republican presidential aspirant told Fox News @ Night on Thursday.
Following her first Republican presidential debate last year, Haley had said that the thought of having Harris as president “should send a chill up every American spine”, adding that a vote for President Joe Biden is a vote for Harris.
Haley first spoke about the US having a female president during a meet and greet at a Columbia barbeque restaurant last week. “We will have a female president of the US,” Haley told a gathering of about 100 people at Doc’s BBQ, which booed when she said, “the hard truth is it’s going to be me or Kamala Harris”.
According to a Morning Consult survey, 33 per cent of voters said they hold a positive view of Haley, while 40 per cent said they have an unfavorable view of her, which equates to a net favorability rating of negative 7. As for Harris, 37 per cent of respondents held a favorable view, while 56 had a negative view of her, resulting in a net favourability rating of negative 19, a Newsweek report said. Speaking to Fox News, Haley said her rival and Republican frontrunner Donald Trump cannot win the general election, moments after the US Supreme Court finished hearing arguments in a landmark legal case to decide whether the former president can be on the ballot in November’s election.
“He can’t win a general election. That’s a fact. We lost in 2018. We lost in 2020. We lost in 2022… he;s got a year’s worth of court cases yet… Everything he touches is chaos, and we continue to lose,” Haley told the news channel. (IANS)
