Nikki Haley's Campaign Stumbles on Civil War Remarks Amidst GOP Criticism
Nikki Haley, former governor of South Carolina and Republican presidential hopeful, faced criticism for failing to mention slavery as a cause of the Civil War during a town hall meeting in New Hampshire. This misstep provided her political rival, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, with material to challenge her as they both vie for the anti-Trump vote in the upcoming New Hampshire primary. Despite the gaffe, Haley has been gaining momentum in the state, currently holding second place behind Trump among Republican primary voters. Both candidates are intensifying their campaigns in New Hampshire, with Christie aiming to capitalize on Haley's recent controversies.
