"Texas Secession Debate: Haley Clarifies Controversial Comments"

Nikki Haley faced backlash after suggesting in an interview that she would allow Texas to secede from the U.S. if elected president, but later clarified that it was a hypothetical scenario and that "nobody's going to do that." Her comments came amid tensions between Texas officials and the Biden administration over immigration policies and border security. Haley pivoted to criticizing Biden and emphasizing the need to address Texas' immigration crisis, while defending her belief that states should have the right to leave the union if their residents wish to.
