These statements are NOT gonna get her stupport from the hardcore anti-abortion wing of her party…..
GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley called for more “consensus” on abortion, saying that Republicans have a “long way to go” before any federal ban on abortion is put in place.
“I think that we have to humanize this situation and stop demonizing it. But in order to get a federal law, you have to have 60 Senate votes, a majority of the House and a presidential signature,” Haley told Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday,” noting that about 45 senators are anti-abortion.
Bream asked Haley, a former South Carolina governor, whether she would sign a 15-week ban on abortion if she was president. Haley responded that Republicans need to reach an agreement on the policies surrounding abortion in order to reach the 60 votes in the Senate needed to pass a ban.
She said that there should be a consensus on banning late-term abortions, allowing doctors who are anti-abortion to not perform the procedure and ensure that state laws do not put women in jail for having an abortion. She also said there should be more access to contraceptives and more encouragement for adoptions throughout the country….

Except for you, I know of no one who believes Nikki is a serious candidate.
jamesb says
She IS in the second tier
My Name Is Jack says
You act as if this is some kind of serious contest.
Right now?
It’s not.Trump is running away with it and getting into “tiers” is irrelevant to anything.
Keith says
I agree Jack, another indictment and the Republicans will call off the nominating contest and simply crown Trump.
Never forget, the Republicans created Trump with 50 years of dog whistles. He’s all there guy!
jamesb says
And no argument the Trump poll numbers among the base have risen as have Biden’s overall numbers also in most but not all polls
jamesb says
Yes it IS ALL Trump……
But?
There WILL BE twists and turns before the November 2024 election….
Most assuredly a Trump nomination guarantee’s a Biden second term….
Over and OVER GOPer’s admit Trump WILL LOSE….
The question is will the ‘party’ go down the rabbit hole with him?
If not?
THEN YES the second tier DOES COUNT….
My Name Is Jack says
If !If!If!
Look,I know your weird lust for Nikki but there is NO evidence her campaign is going anywhere.
Her fundraising is fairly anemic.She is generating no excitement.One day she offers some mild criticism of Trump,the next day?Shes with MTG wanting to impeach Biden.
Nikki believes in nothing .She will be whatever the person she’s talking to wants her to be.
When she was Governor she was constantly at war with the legislature which was majority Republican.She claimed no one had ever mentioned the Confederate flag to her for years until the tragedy at the AME church finally forced her to do the right thing.
I have no use for her myself and ,in my view, if she is still around come the SC primary(a big “if”) ?She will,at best, run third behind Trump and Scott.
jamesb says
We’ll see how she does….
I suspect she’ll get some media being a East Asia, Woman, Ex Governor and Trump cabinet member with a husband in the military..,..
I agree she is trying to walk a tightrope rope as the others with separation from Trump and embracing his policies….
Trump does have the field kinda boxed in cept for Christe who’s on a mission….
