Presidential candidate Nikki Haley is making strategic moves in her competitive race for the White House, as she actively seeks to distance her campaign from the towering shadow of former President Trump. Despite finding herself in second place at 20 percent in the latest poll, with Trump holding a commanding lead at 42 percent among likely voters in New Hampshire, Haley urges voters to not formulate their judgments based on their sentiments towards the ex-commander-in-chief.
In a spirited interview recently, Haley sat beside New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, fresh off the heels of his endorsement of her presidential bid. This move has drawn criticism from rivals, such as Governor DeSantis, who insinuated at an Iowa town hall that Sununu's endorsement would not obscure Haley's image as an 'establishment candidate,' a label that often paints a candidate as part of an entrenched political elite, out of touch with the common citizen.
