Nikki Haley insists that she or Kamala Harris will become the first female president next year, not Donald Trump or Joe Biden, and it's clear she would rather it be her.
This is despite her poll numbers showing that she is a long way from overtaking Donald Trump in the 2024 Republican presidential primary.
This interview is on the influential hip-hop talk show Breakfast Club Haley, who is of Indian descent, was also the one who spoke most about race.
“Co-host Charlamagne Tha God specifically questioned the former UN ambassador about former President Donald Trump intentionally butchering her first name Nimarata, which many viewed as racist and harking back to his leadership of the birther movement during the Obama years,” Politico reported. “.
“Do you think Trump making fun of your birth name was racist?” Charlemagne asked.
The story continued:
I avoided giving a direct answer. “I mean, I think we can let other people decide that,” she said. “I think you look at it and it's like Tim Scott, 'You're sleeping with yourself.' I mean, we're going to let Donald Trump sleep with whatever he wants.

“There will be the first female president.”
Haley said the reason she is staying in the race is to stop Kamala Harris.
“There will be the first female president,” Hailey told hosts Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy. “It's either going to be Kamala Harris, or it's going to be me. And it should give everyone the chills to think about the fact that it's going to be Kamala Harris.
“It's not about her personally,” Hailey added. “She was never a governor. She never had executive experience. She was a senator for a few years. But the things that Biden gave her, she didn't do anything with it.”
“I didn't see her doing anything,” Hailey said.
Nikki Haley still trails Donald Trump by what many consider an insurmountable distance, including in polls in her home state of South Carolina.
The Greenville News reported that Haley received only 25% of Republican voters in the primary elections in the state in which she was elected governor. NBC reported that Haley, as is the case in Iowa, will depend on Democrats to cross over and vote for her in the Republican primary.
