Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley deployed a new strategy this week in a bid to gain on former President Donald Trump in her home state of South Carolina, and it’s remarkably similar to that of former presidential candidate Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who recently ended his campaign.

Haley is leaning into her past position of South Carolina governor to remind voters in her home state, who haven’t seen her on a ballot in nearly 10 years, of her accomplishments in the Palmetto State, long before she was tapped to join the Trump administration.
