Nikki Haley, a Republican candidate for president, questioned Donald Trump’s mental health on Saturday when it appeared that he mistook her for former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi while discussing the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Trump officials said he became confused he was discussing Nancy Pelosi In that circumstance, he brought Haley up several times.
What did Haley said ?
Haley stated, “Last night, Trump is at a rally…and he’s going on and on, mentioning me multiple times as to why I didn’t take security during the Capitol riots, why I didn’t handle January 6 better,” Haley continued she wasn’t in Washington DC, On January .
According to the former UN Ambassador, a person holding the office of US President under such intense strain needs to be “mentally fit” for the role. She then added, “I’m not saying anything disparaging, but we can’t have someone else who we wonder if they’re mentally fit to do this when you’re dealing with the pressures of a presidency.”
This comes as The Hill reports that while speaking about the riots that took place at the US Capitol on January 6, Trump appeared to misrepresent former South Carolina Governor Haley and former House Speaker Pelosi during a rally on Friday.
Trump stated
“By the way, they never report the crowd on January 6,” at a rally. You are aware that Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley—do you realize that they erased and destroyed every piece of data, piece of proof, every piece of information? Everything.
Due to several factors, including the fact that Nikki Haley oversees security, we provided her with 10,000 personnel, troops, National Guards, and everything else she requested. They declined it. They are unwilling to discuss that. He said, “These are very dishonest people.”
Republican presidential nomination Primary on January 23
In the meanwhile, the next round of the contest for the Republican presidential nomination will pit Trump and Haley against one another on January 23 in the New Hampshire primary. In the most recent Iowa caucuses, Trump emerged victorious, earning 20 out of 40 delegates. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis trailed far behind with eight delegates, while Haley was not far behind with seven delegates.
Before the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday, Haley, 52, has made an effort to draw attention to the difference in age between herself and Trump, 77, and President Joe Biden, 81. She has also insisted on demanding term limits and assessments of mental capacity for all politicians who are older than 75.
Haley has spent around $28.6 million on advertising in New Hampshire since the beginning of 2023, while Trump and his backers have spent almost $14.4 million.
Haley has been viewed by Trump’s team as a major danger in New Hampshire for weeks, and the candidate made it apparent with a slew of remarks made on social media and during a rally in the state.
