In a lively turn of events, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis have taken their campaign strategies up a notch as the primary season heats up. With just 12 days until the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primaries looming, these Republican candidates are strategically aiming their attacks at the front runner, former President Donald Trump.
Despite their cautious approach, Haley and DeSantis have started to sharpen their criticisms towards Trump. Responding to accusations of protecting Trump and being afraid to criticize him, DeSantis made it clear that policy differences were his primary concern. As the campaigns intensify, both candidates have been increasingly vocal in their efforts to draw a clear contrast between themselves and the former president.
