Nikki Haley has been making the same argument for months — she would be a stronger Republican standard-bearer than former President Trump to take on President Biden in November's general election.
"Look at any of the general election polls. There was one that came out yesterday. It said that Donald Trump lost by seven points to Biden," Haley told the crowd at a campaign event in Hilton Head, South Carolina, on Thursday. "I defeat Biden by up to 17 points."
Now, the former two-term South Carolina governor who served as U.N. ambassador during the Trump administration is throwing more shade at her former boss.
Haley took to X to jab at Trump. She posted a photo of the former president in a mock Halloween costume titled "Weakest General Election Candidate Ever."
Democrats are ecstatic about the prospect of running against Donald Trump. They couldn’t dream up a worse general election candidate if they tried. Between his legal drama, his terrible poll numbers, and his confusion, Trump will hand Democrats a big victory. pic.twitter.com/mhWbeA6CxO
