Haley’s 30-day Biden outlook prompts outcry. Is she out to impress ‘The View’?
As presidential candidate Nikki Haley faces a significant uphill battle toward a victory in the South Carolina Republican primary, she recently predicts the Democratic Party will reject President Joe Biden as its 2024 nominee.
“My bet is, 30 days from now, Joe Biden will not be the nominee,” Haley said Sunday about the ongoing concerns about the president’s competency to serve. “I wish Joe Biden well, I really do, but the Democrats in the best interest in their party and our country, they need to find a new nominee.”
The next day, co-hosts on ABC’s The View, lashed out.
“Is she going to be around in the next 30 days?,” co-host Sunny Hostin said. “I mean, she’s not going to be the nominee, either.”
Haley is in for a fight toward winning the primary in South Carolina. New Winthrop and CBS polls show Haley trailing former President Donald Trump by 35-36 points in the upcoming South Carolina primary contest.
“Well, my bet is that in 12 days, that’s when the Republican primary in (Haley’s) home state is, she’s going to beaten like a bongo drum by Donald Trump, so if you want to put money on it, Nikki, I’m betting on Joe, not on you,” The View co-host Anna Navaro said.
Another co-host of the show, Whoopi Goldberg, discounted recent claims by Haley and others that Biden’s memory was failing him, pointing to Biden’s achievements, including the approval of the first over-the-counter birth control pill, a bipartisan infrastructure deal and the confirmation of the first Black woman on the U.S. Supreme Court.
“I don’t care that he didn’t remember when his beloved son died, because it’s none of your business,” Goldberg said. “When (Biden) missteps for the nation, then we have a problem. Nikki, what have you done? What can you point to, because (Biden) at 81, knew he was going to be 81 in four years and still said ‘I’m going to do this anyway’ and he did it.”
In an interview with Fox News Tuesday, Haley responded.
“Well, I’ve done quite a bit,” Haley said. “As governor ... and UN Ambassador we accomplished a lot. I did a whole lot more than Whoopi Goldberg will ever do, and it’s not the ladies on The View that I ever care to impress.”
