Nikki Haley

Former President Donald Trump will be kicking off the new year with a "commit to caucus" campaign rally in Newton, Iowa on a historically significant date: January 6.

In an interview with the Daily Beast, Jasper County, Iowa Republican Party chairman Thad Nearmyer — a 52-year-old livestock farmer — said the date of the rally may very well be a nod to the deadly insurrection at the US Capitol that resulted in nine deaths and hundreds of injuries of US Capitol and DC Metropolitan police officers.

After presidential candidate and former UN ambassador Nikki Haley failed to condemn slavery when answering a question about the cause of the Civil War, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) decided to weigh in with a comment of his own.

"The Civil War started because the American people elected an anti-slavery Republican as president and Democrats revolted rather than accept minor restrictions on the expansion of slavery to the western territories," Cotton posted to X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday.

Arizona Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake on Thursday predicted Donald Trump would choose "anybody" except for Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley as his running mate.

During an interview, right-wing podcast host Charlie Kirk asked Lake if she would accept a spot on Trump's presidential ticket.

GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley's Wednesday night gaffe where she neglected to name "slavery" as a cause of the Civil War is "worse" given that she removed the Confederate flag from the South Carolina capitol during her time as governor.

At a campaign event in New Hampshire, Haley was asked by a voter identified only as "Patrick" by CBS News, what the cause of the Civil War was.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Thursday sought to clean up earlier remarks that excluded slavery as the cause of the U.S. Civil War.

The controversy began when Haley was asked what caused the Civil War at a town hall event in New Hampshire.

During the slow news week between Christmas and New Year's Day, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley made herself the center of attention by being unable to answer a simple question about the primary cause of the Civil War.

During a town hall in Berlin, New Hampshire, on Wednesday night, the South Carolina Republican who has been surging in the polls for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination flubbed the question from a voter, and then compounded the problem by demanding, "What do you want me to say about slavery?" when pressed before adding: "Next question."
