Big name Republican blasts Trump admin on Fox News: ‘We will lose’
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley took aim at the Trump administration during an appearance on Fox News, chastising the president and his cabinet for their failures to address – or even discuss – the issue of affordability, The Hill reported Wednesday.
“Fiscal conservatism has not been talked about at all during this administration,” Haley told Fox News’ Brett Baier during an appearance on the network Tuesday evening.
“I think now is the time to focus on the value of a dollar, which is weakening, on how we get more money in Americans’ pockets, how we increase jobs, which are flattening and start to make American people feel like they can have hope.”
Haley led South Carolina as its Republican governor from 2011 to 2018, after which she was tapped by President Donald Trump to serve as the ambassador to the United Nations during his first administration. While long a close ally of Trump’s, stumping hard for him during his failed 2020 campaign, she went on to challenge Trump directly in her own failed bid for president in 2024.
Now, she’s warning that without a plan to address the issue of affordability, which she warned “something needs to be done” on, Republicans could face major losses in the upcoming midterm elections.
“If Americans don’t feel like there is some hope with their wallets and some hope in raising their families, we will lose,” Haley said, The Hill reported.
“There has not been enough focus on the affordability issue for Americans. You still have too many kids living at home, you still have people who can’t deal with rent, you see people, they have less money in their wallets and you can’t look at the stock market and say the economy is doing well.”
