Nikki Haley and Mike Pence, who saw a favorability slump after criticizing Trump, trail far behind, with others barely registering
The Florida governor must join Republican attacks on Alvin Bragg, the Democratic Manhattan district attorney whose indictment of Trump over a hush money payment to a porn star is reportedly imminent, while trying not to lose ground in a primary he has not formally entered.showed how Trump, who is also fundraising off his legal peril, has tightened his grip on the primary race.

‘No popular hunger’ for Nikki Haley: She represents a ‘throwback’ to the pre-Trump eraRepublican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is practically “running for Vice President” because she “won’t” get the presidential nomination as a “creature of wealthy donor class”, says Compact Magazine Founder and Editor Sohrab Ahmari. He said Ms Haley’s presidential nomination would be “bad” policy-wise and because of her “contradictory” persona. “She’s saying, I’m against identity politics – at the same time she says if you elect me, I’d be the first Indian American woman of colour … to win the presidency,” Mr Ahmari told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “Setting that aside, it has to do with policy issues – frankly she represents a throwback to the pre-Trump era when the Republican party was mainly about cutting taxes for the wealthy and large corporations and … bombing the Middle East. “In 2015-16, the Republican party, the base of the party, working-class Americans who now form the core of that – said enough of that, they didn’t want any more of that. So, she wants to take them back there. “So, I’m on the record saying never, ever, ever, Haley. There’s no popular hunger for a Nikki Haley run.”
