Nikki Haley’s son Nalin takes aim at GOP after Midterm setback, backs mother’s decision to skip 2028 presidential race

ملخص مفصل

Nikki Haley's son faulted Republicans for failing to deliver despite controlling the White House and Congress.

Nalin Haley, the son of former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, has lashed out at the Republican Party over its disappointing midterm performance, questioning why the party failed to deliver despite holding control of the White House and Congress.

Nalin’s remarks came amid a heated exchange on X, where he also defended his mother’s decision to stay out of the 2028 presidential race. Responding to critics questioning Nikki Haley’s political future, he argued that those attacking her had little reason to lecture her about political decisions.

In a post on X, Nalin expressed frustration over what he viewed as the Republican Party’s failure to make use of its political power.

“We primarily lost not cuz of what we did, but what we didn’t do. We had control of the house, senate, and presidency. What did we do with it? Nothing!” he wrote.

His comments highlighted concerns about the party’s inability to turn its control of the federal government into meaningful policy achievements, particularly on issues important to Republican voters.

Nalin also came to his mother's defence after social media user Justin Evans mocked Nikki Haley's decision not to pursue another presidential campaign in 2028.

“There are like 14 people at a private club in Southampton, NY, absolutely devastated by this news,” Evans wrote in a post reacting to her announcement.

Nalin responded by questioning Evans' political track record and bringing up a gubernatorial campaign that ended in a significant defeat despite considerable financial resources and political backing.
