Haley Campaign Press Release - Haley on CNN & FOX: This is a Pro-America Movement

HOUSTON, TX – This afternoon, Nikki Haley sat down with Fox News and CNN to discuss Super Tuesday, her travels crisscrossing the country, and American dissatisfaction with Biden and Trump.

The Story

On giving Americans a choice…

"We have been in 10 states just in the past week. I just finished a rally here in Houston, Texas. We had well over a thousand people show up. This isn't an anti-Trump movement; this is a pro-America movement. This is something where they're saying they're tired of the chaos. They don't want two candidates in their 80s; they want to make sure that we go back to normal. They want to see a D.C. that works for the people instead of people working for the government. And so we've got people who are passionate, they're excited, they want to go and get America back to where they can be proud again. And so we're going to do as much as we can. I want to be as competitive as we can. We certainly have numbers that we're hoping for, but we'll see what happens tomorrow. But until then, I continue to remind everyone in those 16 states and territories, in a general election, we're given a choice. In a primary, we make our choice. And so I hope everybody will go out and make their choice tomorrow."

The Lead

On her cross-country Super Tuesday tour…

"We have been in 10 states just in the past week. I just finished a rally here in Houston, Texas. We had well over a thousand people show up, and these are not just people in an anti-Trump movement; this is a pro-America movement. They're expressing their fatigue with the chaos, their dissatisfaction with having two candidates in their 80s, and their desire to return to normalcy. They want a D.C. that works for the people, not the other way around. So, we've got passionate and excited individuals who want to bring America back to a place where they can be proud again. We're going to do as much as we can to be competitive. We have specific numbers in mind that we're hoping for, but we'll see what happens tomorrow. Until then, I continue to remind everyone in those 16 states and territories that in a general election, we're given a choice. In a primary, we make our choice. I hope everybody will go out and make their choice tomorrow."

On Americans' dissatisfaction with Trump and Biden…

"Seventy percent of Americans say they don't want Donald Trump or Joe Biden. That's not a small number, Jake. If you look at the early states, Trump didn't get 40 percent of the vote. In Michigan, after campaigning for eight years, he didn't perform as well as I did campaigning for just two days and securing 30 percent of the vote. This comes down to people worrying about the fiscal cliff we're heading toward. They're concerned about the younger generation, which is facing a $34 trillion debt and knows they'll have to bear that responsibility. They're anxious about the fact that the younger generation endured COVID, facing challenges and uncertainties. They're worried about securing employment, making ends meet, and doubting their ability to afford a home. With wars occurring worldwide, they want assurance that someone will dedicate eight years day and night to focusing on solutions, not on negativity or personal baggage. When you look at Joe Biden and Donald Trump, they're entirely immersed in their own worlds, preoccupied with how these issues affect them. It's not about either man; it's about the American people who have been ignored for far too long. They want things done right. I'm in Texas, and people here are vocal about the border situation, considering it unacceptable. This is the United States of America, and this should not be happening."
