WASHINGTON – Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley, United Nations ambassador under former President Donald Trump, went after her ex-boss and 2024 rival Ron DeSantis on Sunday over their refusal to say whether they want Ukraine to win its war against Russia.
Ms Haley, the only woman in the race for the Republican nomination, lambasted Mr DeSantis for saying this year that Ukraine was a “territorial dispute”, a comment that drew widespread criticism and that he has since walked back. “It’s in the best interest of our national security for Ukraine to win,” she added. Ukraine is an issue that divides Republicans, because of an isolationist streak among many of the party’s primary voters.but finds herself in a crowded Republican field that will reach double digits this week with the entrance of more contenders, including former Vice President Mike Pence.
Ms Haley and many of her rivals polling in single digits are trying to differentiate themselves from Mr DeSantis, in the hope that he stumbles and they can become the main alternative to Trump.
