"Trump-Haley Rivalry Intensifies as Campaigns Exchange Fire"
Former President Donald Trump's campaign has shifted its focus to attacking Nikki Haley, who is seen as a rising challenger in the Republican presidential race, surpassing Ron DeSantis in some early nominating contests. Trump's team and the pro-Trump super PAC MAGA Inc. have launched a $4.5 million ad campaign targeting Haley's record on immigration and taxes, aiming to curb her momentum in states like Iowa and New Hampshire. Haley's campaign has responded to the attacks, suggesting they are a sign of Trump feeling threatened by her candidacy. The conflict underscores the strategic positioning as the Republican primary heats up, with both camps acknowledging the significance of their rivalry.
