Nikki Haley renews competency test call at Lincoln Day Dinner following McConnell’s halt.
Engaging Text: Nikki Haley Criticizes Trump’s Spending and Calls for Competency Tests
During the Iowa Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner in Des Moines, former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley didn’t hold back in her criticism of former President Donald Trump’s pandemic-era spending. She highlighted the country’s staggering trillion debt, saying, “Our Republicans did that to us too.”
Addressing Key Issues
Haley didn’t stop at criticizing Trump’s spending. She also scrutinized congressional Republicans’ reintroduction of earmarks and Vice President Kamala Harris’s response to the root causes of illegal immigration. She emphasized the need for term limits in D.C. and called for competency tests for politicians older than 75 years of age.
“That’s not being disrespectful; these are people making decisions on our national security,” Haley added, injecting a touch of humor by joking about President Biden finally acknowledging his illegitimate granddaughter earlier that day.
The Importance of the Lincoln Day Dinner
The Lincoln Day Dinner serves as a critical opportunity for 2024 Republican primary presidential candidates to distinguish themselves from a crowded field before the first-in-the-nation caucuses in January. According to RealClearPolitics, Trump leads the pack with 52% support, followed by Gov. Ron DeSantis at 18%, biotechnology entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and former Vice President Mike Pence at 5%, Haley at 4%, and Sen. Tim Scott at 3%.
