Nikki Haley squirms on air when asked about her areas of disagreement with Trump
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) found herself in an awkward position just hours after publicly announcing her run for president in 2024.
On Wednesday, February 15, Haley appeared on Fox News' "Hannity" where she faced difficulty answering questions about one particular topic. When Fox News host Sean Hannity asked Haley to expound on her political differences with former President Donald Trump, she struggled to provide a solid answer.
In fact, multiple times she actually avoided the question altogether.

According to Mediaite, Haley has stressed the importance of the Republican Party embracing new leadership, but she's fallen short when it comes to offering a solid, detailed plan on policies.
At the top of the segment, Hannity asked Haley to offer a clear distinction between herself and Trump.
“If you had to delineate where, say, you and President Trump differ on issues, where would you start?” he asked.
Haley failed to answer the question instead saying, “Look at everything that’s wrong in this country and tell me we don’t need new leadership. But the difference is we need new generational leadership. We have to leave the status quo. We have to leave this chaos behind and we’ve gotta start talking about the future.”

She then moved on to note a number of issues she believes are plaguing the country. At another point during the interview, Hannity attempted to pose the question again.
“Let me go back to my original question because anybody that is looking or is seeking the nomination, you’re going to be comparing and contrasting your policy positions,” he said. “Where do you see – if you see – policy differences beyond what you mentioned, which are generational differences? What specific policy areas would you say part with Donald Trump?”
Haley, again, dodged the question.
“What I am saying is I don’t kick sideways,” she said. “I’m kicking forward. Joe Biden is the president. He’s the one I’m running against.”
