"Nikki Haley's Third-Place Finish in Iowa Shifts Primary Race Dynamics"

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley finished third in the Iowa Caucus, but she boldly claimed that the Republican primary is now a two-person race between her and former President Donald Trump, despite trailing behind Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Her comments were immediately mocked by a pro-DeSantis super PAC. With eyes on the upcoming New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries, Haley went on the attack against Trump in her speech, comparing him unfavorably to President Biden. However, recent polls suggest she stands in a distant second place in both contests ahead of DeSantis, and it's unclear what her path to victory will be considering Trump's commanding lead.
