On the Republican presidential primary debate stage Wednesday night, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley created moments of camaraderie with women viewers, whether intentionally or not, as she stood in light blue among a sea of dark suits. In addition, while little of what she said was new, much of what she chose to emphasize aligns with messaging meant to appeal to a class of more moderate women voters who are unlikely to support Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.

“He definitely stood his ground, and he was in the top four, alongside Mike Pence, Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy,” said Ashley Koning, director of the Rutgers-Eagleton Poll.
