CHARLESTON, S.C. - It was a jam-packed week for presidential candidate Nikki Haley. First, she called for "heads to roll" in the Department of Justice over the shocking findings in the Durham Report. Then, she demanded New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announce an intent to pardon Daniel Penny, who is being charged with manslaughter by radical District Attorney Alivn Bragg. Now, she ended the week with a barnstorm across Iowa, including three town halls.
Haley has held 22 events in the Hawkeye State and travels to New Hampshire next week, where she will roll out Vets for Nikki. Are you exhausted yet?
