Presidential candidate Haley says she won’t debate unless Trump is on stage

16 January 2024 20:59

GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley said that she would only step foot on the debate stage again if Donald Trump or Joe Biden is there.

“We’ve had five great debates in this campaign. Unfortunately, Donald Trump has ducked all of them,” Haley said in a statement. “He has nowhere left to hide. The next debate I do will either be with Donald Trump or with Joe Biden. I look forward to it,” she said, Politico reports.

The upcoming debates are slated to take place before the New Hampshire primary on Jan. 23. ABC News partnered with WMUR-TV to host a debate on Thursday and CNN announced it would host a debate on Sunday.

ABC News and CNN did not respond to a request for comment.

Haley’s challenge toward Trump comes after the former U.N. ambassador finished in third place in the Iowa caucuses on Monday night. Trump was the far favorite, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in second place.

While DeSantis has accepted the invite to the CNN debate, Trump has already scheduled a New Hampshire rally for Sunday.

DeSantis said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that Haley “is afraid to debate because she doesn’t want to answer the tough questions” and accused her of running to be Trump’s vice president.

“I won’t snub New Hampshire voters like both Nikki Haley and Donald Trump, and plan to honor my commitments,” DeSantis said in the post. “I look forward to debating two empty podiums in the Granite State this week.”

Haley on Monday night claimed that her close third-place result had made the campaign a head-to-head race between her and Trump.

“I can safely say tonight Iowa made this Republican primary a two-person race,” Haley said.
