Throughout the Republican primary campaign, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley was a favorite target of political newcomer and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, but the latter’s exit from the race could prove to be the most damaging attack on his political rival.

Throughout his campaign, Ramaswamy tried to paint himself as the heir apparent to former President Donald Trump, and openly supported him on multiple occasions throughout the campaign. But in the debates, Ramaswamy zeroed in on Haley as his No. 1 target, calling her a warmonger beholden to the military-industrial complex and out of touch with the Republican voter base.
