Republican presidential candidate NikkiHaley isn't worried about another lawmaker jumping into the 2024 race in hopes of snatching control from Donald Trump, nor is she worried about low poll numbers.
The former United Nations ambassador told America 180's David Brody that Gov. Ron DeSantis , an undeclared 2024 presidential candidate, should announce a campaign soon."I mean, I think he should get in if he's going to get in," Haley said."I got in in February. I'm a decisive person. I didn't need to wait on anything else. If you're going to do it, jump in and do it. And you know, I welcome him to the race.
Although not a candidate, DeSantis is Trump's closest competitor in the GOP primary, polling shows. Trump consistently and comfortably leads all other potential Republicans in polls, but DeSantis has also consistently placed second. A Morning Consult survey released Tuesday showed Trump receiving 60% of GOP primary voter support compared to 19% who supported DeSantis, a 41 percentage point advantage.
Haley had more to say about her rivalry with DeSantis, especially his feud with Disney. The feud stemmed from Disney criticizing DeSantis's support of the Parental Rights in Education Act last year, which led to DeSantis wrestling back control of the special district encompassing Walt Disney World.
"If Disney would like to move their hundreds of thousands of jobs to South Carolina and bring the billions of dollars with them, I’ll let them know I’ll be happy to meet them in South Carolina and introduce them to the governor and the legislature that would welcome it," Haley told Fox News last month.
