A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlighted that Haley’s approach, like other Republican candidates, is critical of former President Donald Trump but stops short of directly attacking him.

Despite fierce competition, Haley has won tough elections before; she said during her announcement that “America is not past our prime, it’s just that our politicians are past theirs.”
