Former President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Wednesday to gloat that former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC), his final major remaining challenger for the 2024 presidential nomination, did not qualify for the primary ballot in Indiana.
"Nikki Haley is not on the Ballot in Indiana because she didn’t get enough Petition Signatures — She missed the deadline!" wrote Trump. "If she’s not on in Indiana, she’s not a serious Candidate. 'You can’t miss Indiana, and say you’re running for President,' said future Senator of Indiana, Jim Banks."

But this is apparently news to Haley herself.
"Looks like Donald Trump is confused again," she replied in a post on X. "Another reason why he's too afraid to debate me."
So far, Trump has won all of the Republican contests, with the most recent being New Hampshire, albeit always with a significant minority opposing him at the ballot box.
With Trump and Haley running in separate contests in Nevada, the next state where the two of them will compete directly is South Carolina.
