"Nikki Haley's Political Tightrope: Navigating Trump, South Carolina, and Electability"

Nikki Haley, a potential Republican presidential candidate, aligns closely with Donald Trump on policies despite her more moderate persona. While she has criticized Trump's age and behavior, she has not challenged his policies and has admitted that Biden was legitimately elected. Haley's campaign is seen as a potential threat to Trump's support among suburban women, college-educated voters, and independents. Her decision to stay in the race is seen as a way to challenge Trump and potentially position herself as a backup candidate in case of a legal or health crisis.
