Rand Paul debuts the “Never Nikki” movement and explains why voters shouldn’t support Nikki Haley

Published



In a bombshell Friday morning, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) released a jarring video announcing that he does not support Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley and is officially “Never Nikki.” It was a startling rebuke of the former South Carolina governor by Paul. However, he made an excellent case as to why voting for Nikki Haley as president is a huge mistake — and it starts with her political record on multiple topics. 

“Good morning, everyone. As I told you yesterday, I’m ready to say something about the presidential race,” Paul began, in a video he posted Friday on X, formerly Twitter. “I had a long relationship with Donald Trump, and there’s a lot to like there. I’m also a big fan of a lot of the fiscal conservatism of Ron DeSantis. I think Vivek Ramaswamy’s been an important voice. Also, have listened to and met with the independent Bobby Kennedy.”
