Nikki Haley is trying to look past Trump in her 2024 bid. Will it work?

“We’re ready to move past the stale ideas and faded names of the past,” the 51-year-old former South Carolina governor said to cheering supporters in her home state. “And we are more than ready for a new generation to lead us into the future.”

In carefully calibrated remarks, Haley swiped overtly at Joe Biden, the oldest president to take the oath of office, and more subtly at Trump, a 76-year-old now waging his third quest for the White House since 2016.
