In preparation for Super Tuesday, Nikki Haley, former South Carolina Governor and Ambassador to the United Nations, held a rally on Feb.29 at the Westin Richmond Hotel in western Henrico County.
The event attracted Virginians and citizens nationwide as they gear up to cast their ballots in the upcoming presidential primaries. During her speech, Haley clarified that her political endeavors were not for personal ambitions but rather for the future well-being of her children and grandchildren. She took aim at the GOP frontrunner, former President Donald Trump, criticizing him for causing chaos and obstructing a recent border bill in Congress.
"Congress should have strengthened the bill, but Donald Trump instructed them to delay any action until after the general election, fearing it would harm him," Haley remarked. "We can't afford to wait any longer."
Haley also voiced her disapproval of Trump's stance on Ukraine's conflict with Russia. She accused Trump of siding with Russian President Putin, highlighting the humanitarian toll of the war in Ukraine.
She criticized the current government's immigration policies saying, “Nine million illegal immigrants have crossed the border, we had enough amount of Fentanyl come across the border last year that would kill every single American. The number one cause of death for adults 18 to 45, Fentanyl.”
“When I was governor of South Carolina we passed the toughest illegal immigration law in the country. President Obama sued us over it and we won. we're going to take what we did in South Carolina and we're going to go National with it. we will do a nationally verified program so that every business has to prove that the people they hire are in this country legally. we will defund Sanctuary cities once and for all, no more safe havens in America,” she continued.
Speaking just days before Super Tuesday, where voters in Virginia and fourteen other states, along with American Samoa, will participate in the pivotal primary election, Haley urged citizens to make informed decisions.
Super Tuesday will see 874 delegates at stake out of a total of 2,429 available nationwide. A candidate needs 1,215 delegates to secure their party's nomination.
Former president Donald Trump is also set to visit central Virginia ahead of Super Tuesday, hosting a rally at the Greater Richmond Convention Center on Saturday.
