"Nikki Haley's Misguided Views on Secession"
TL;DR Summary
Former South Carolina governor and Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley backtracked on her earlier remarks about states' ability to secede, clarifying that according to the Constitution, they cannot. This comes after she initially suggested that Texas could leave the union if it chose to. The discussion arose in the context of Texas Governor Greg Abbott's defiance of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling regarding border security measures. Haley expressed sympathy for Abbott's frustration, emphasizing the importance of states' rights while disavowing any support for secession.
