Momentum?
Judge Judith Sheindlin, known to her television show fans as Judge Judy, has endorsed Nikki Haley in the Republican primary race. This seems to be the latest in the reporting on Haley’s growing momentum in the race.
Cable news stations are reporting on Haley’s momentum. Most are writing off the DeSantis campaign. It is all too soon to make any final judgements but all news outlets assume that Trump will be the nominee, given his large lead in polls. The only story that goes against the narrative is Nikki Haley’s rise in New Hampshire and to a small extent, in Iowa.
Last night, Haley participated in a town hall style even on FNC in Iowa. The moderators were Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She did well. The questions were not softballs and she rolled with it. She spoke up about her foreign policy experience and slammed Biden’s policies, which she said makes America “vulnerable and putting us at risk.” She accused Trump and DeSantis of cherry-picking her statements from the past on illegal immigration. She zinged them for her past remarks claiming Hillary Clinton helped inspire her to get into politics, implying Haley is a liberal. Both Trump and DeSantis are running ads against Haley in the run-up to the caucuses on January 15.
Haley said that the Supreme Court should rule quickly and keep Trump on the ballots.
