Haley Campaign Press Release - Haley Hits Back

CHARLESTON, S.C. – As the sun rises, so does Nikki Haley's momentum. Americans saw a tough fighter on the stage last night. She stood up for a strong and proud America and held the other candidates accountable.

Don't just take our word for it, here's what the people had to say overnight:

The Hill: GOP pollster: Republicans would be stronger if they used Haley's language on abortion

Daily Beast: Nikki Haley Showed at the GOP Debate She Could Go One-on-One With Trump

The Hill: Nikki Haley "You're just scum." It is an unlikely line with which to win a debate, but it was easily the most memorable moment from Wednesday night — and one that will dominate TV news coverage in the aftermath.

Frank Lutz: Nikki Haley has the best Republican answer on abortion. The @GOP would be stronger if they used her language.

New York Post:Republican debate verdict: 'Impressive' Haley shines, 'stupid' Vivek self-destructs

David Kochel: Given what we've seen post-Dobbs I think @NikkiHaley's answer on abortion should be taught in GOP campaign schools. It's pitch perfect imo.

Politico: Nikki Haley's ascension in the 2024 primary was hard to ignore tonight. She reaffirmed her support for entitlement reform, tried to moderate on abortion and even called Ramaswamy "scum." Sound on for a recap of key moments from the third GOP debate.

Mark Mackowiak: Nikki Haley is consistently excellent. She always makes solid and substantive points, with clarity, substance and toughness.

Devin O'Malley, CBS News: "She continued to show that she's a formidable candidate. She's not going to back down... she showed a really stiff spine."

Natalie Allison, Politico: Putting aside my main observation of the night — that this debate felt removed from the reality that the Republican primary field has yet to make a successful case for dumping Trump — the biggest winner was still Haley.

Gloria Borger, CNN: "Listening to the focus group, they saw Nikki Haley as a fighter and Republicans like fighter."

Scott Jennings, CNN: "I thought Haley, by the way, on the merits, had a really strong night."

The Hill: Haley calls DeSantis 'a liberal' on environmental issues

Natalie Allison, Politico: The biggest winner was still Haley. She managed to articulate her policy positions, defend her record,

Sally Goldenberg, Politico: Haley had a good night. She withstood criticisms from her rivals, namely Ramaswamy, without flinching, and she challenged moderators when she wasn't given an opportunity to respond to direct attacks.

Kimberly Leonard, Politico: Throughout the event, Haley was calm and often shrugged off her rivals' positions, then snapped back at them when they lobbed personal attacks her way.

Jennifer Stefano, News Nation: "Nikki Haley showed herself last night as the leader that America could need... she was the won they are going to have to think about beating."

Margaret Hoover, PBS: "Nikki Haley went on the attack, she defended herself from an attack and then counter attacked and had all of the receipts."

Lee Carter: Very clear from that voters we talked to Nikki Haley far and away, more than 70 percent, say that she won the night

Noelle Nikpour: I suspect Nikki Haley is going to get a fundraising bump from this because she really brought it to the debate.
