With just 28 days until the New Hampshire primary, Nikki Haley is ready to bring ‘Live Free or Die’ to the White House.”

Transcript:

Haley Releases New Iowa Ad Highlighting Strength Against Biden

Haley Releases New Iowa Ad Highlighting Strength Against Biden

CHARLESTON, S.C. — The Nikki Haley for President campaign released a new ad in Iowa called “Strong and Proud.” The ad will air statewide on broadcast, cable, and digital platforms.

The ad highlights Haley’s strong position against Joe Biden in the general election. Poll after poll show Haley beating Biden by larger margins than either Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis. A recent Wall Street Journal poll has Haley demolishing Biden by an unprecedented 17 points, while Trump barely squeaks by, and DeSantis doesn’t beat him at all.

“It’s no secret Democrats are rooting for Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis in the Republican presidential race,” said Haley spokesperson Olivia Perez-Cubas. “After all, Trump and DeSantis barely beat Biden or lose to him, while Nikki Haley trounces Biden in the general election. Voters are rallying to Nikki because they know she is a winner.”

In August, a Democrat strategist told Politico Playbook they are terrified of running against Haley. “Even so, when you ask President JOE BIDEN’s brain trust who they’re really worried about, you’ll hear one name. ‘If they nominate Nikki Haley, we’re in trouble,’ said a senior Democratic strategist close with the Biden campaign.”

Haley beats Biden by a much higher margin than Trump or DeSantis in the general election.
