Nikki Haley Faces Backlash Over Civil War Comments, Doesn't Rule Out Vice Presidency

Despite the controversy, Haley's campaign maintains she is the only candidate with momentum.

Nikki Haley, former South Carolina governor and current presidential candidate, faced backlash after failing to mention slavery as a cause of the Civil War during a New Hampshire town hall.
Haley later clarified her statement, asserting that 'of course' the Civil War was about slavery.
Her opponents, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, have seized on the controversy, suggesting Haley is not ready for prime time.
Haley has not ruled out the possibility of being former President Donald Trump's vice president in the 2024 election.
Despite the controversy, Haley's campaign maintains that she is the only candidate with momentum, attributing the increased scrutiny to her rise in the polls.
