Opinion: Nikki Haley's Debate Performance Might Resonate With Women, But Camaraderie Won't Win the Republican Primary

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.

No breakout moment for Christie in first presidential debate

“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.

Trump set to be arraigned in Georgia on 2020 election charges.

In an interview with NJ Spotlight News, former New Jersey Attorney General John Farmer Jr. said of this indictment, “This is really, I would say, the kitchen-sink indictment, and basically it captures all of the efforts that President Trump is alleged to have engaged in to overturn the election in Georgia and, and also the national election.
