Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley brushed off comments from former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie casting doubt on her ability to defeat former President Donald Trump in a one-on-one matchup during an interview with FOX & Friends.

“I mean, look, it’s not a surprise,” Haley said in her first remarks addressing the incident Thursday. “These fellas have been talking like that from the beginning when it was 14 candidates and I was at 2%.
