"Trump Escalates Attacks with 'Nikki New Taxes' Nickname as Haley Rises in GOP Polls"
Former President Donald Trump has coined a new nickname for his 2024 presidential race rival, Nikki Haley, calling her "Nikki New Taxes" in a campaign email. The nickname criticizes Haley's tax record, alleging she supported significant tax increases in South Carolina. The email also labels her a "RINO" for her stance on entitlement reforms. This comes as Haley shows a competitive edge in recent New Hampshire polling, trailing Trump by only four points. Trump is known for his use of derogatory nicknames against political opponents, a tactic he has employed since the 2016 presidential campaign.
