"Haley and DeSantis Ramp Up Campaign Efforts to Challenge Trump in 2024 Race"

Nikki Haley, a Republican presidential candidate, is facing scrutiny and attacks from her rivals following her controversial response to a town hall question about the origins of the Civil War. After a period of relatively little negative attention, Haley's recent rise in the polls has made her a target, with opponents like Ron DeSantis and Chris Christie criticizing her positions on various issues, including transgender rights and abortion. The controversy has gained traction as Haley attempts to position herself as a main contender against Donald Trump, particularly in the crucial early primary state of New Hampshire. Despite the increased media focus and political pressure, Haley's campaign maintains that the attention is a sign of her growing momentum in the race.
