Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has become one of the “better surrogates” for Democrats in 2024, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday.
Haley, who is Donald Trump’s last remaining GOP primary rival, has attacked the former president throughout the race, arguing that the 77-year-old is too old to serve another term White House and warning that his “chaos” will hurt Republican chances at the ballot boxes in November.
“I think she’s one of our better surrogates, so I hope she stays in [the GOP primary race],” Newsom, 56, told CNN host Jake Tapper, arguing that her criticisms of the former president are “spot on.”

Haley is like the Houthis for Iran... Not good for much more than throwing bombs! Enabling and comforting America's opposition!

Haley probably thanked him for saying this.

Gavin, you haven't made the case against Trump, he has made the case against you and the Dem party. That is what prompts your insane hatred of the man.

The kiss of death from Gavin. Maybe she should just flip and go democrat because not sure too many conservatives will vote for her. I don't mind a fighter (one reason I support Trump) but a stupid fighter I can not support. Trump just needs to ignore her and attack FJB. She really is a non issue.

Damned with faint praise or a useful idiot? Not sure I can tell WHAT Haley is. But she has cursed her future with OUR GOP.

And that comment is why IF she was the ONLY one running against Biden now or in the future I wouldn't vote her! She is another Pence/Liz Cheney as far as I am concerned. FJB and Haley too. MAGA

She could have retired from the race with some semblance of dignity, and some political influence in the republican party.
She destroyed and further chance with success as a Republican. She has committed political suicide.

So does Fox News, notice that Haley has been touted by Fox News all along, while ensuring that half or more of their political guests to be Democrats who they allow to put out leftist and socialist Democrat political propaganda on the Fox News Channel. They say that Haley has a lot of campaign cash, if that is true, you can safely bet that a lot of that money was contributed to Haley by Democrat entities and individuals as an undercover effort to assist Haley to knock of Trump through the Republican primary process, that so far has not been successful. If Haley is nominated by the wimpy Republicans to be the Republican Presidential Nominee, those supposed Democrat Haley supporters would immediately disappear, and instead use their money to assist the leftist and socialist Democrats in stomping Haley into the political dust during the run up to the November General Election.

Rule #1 for any Republican running for office is to present themselves as a REAL ALTERNATIVE to the Democrats. If the Democrats consider you a surrogate, you certainly offer no alternative. Why vote for the surrogate when I can have the real thing and vote Democrat? That's why the only real alternative to the Democrats is DONALD TRUMP. A vote for Haley is a vote for a continuation of the last four years. If you really want that, just vote Biden. Newsom says what the Democrats are thinking. Amazing how often the Democrats telegraph their intentions if one listens closely.

Congratulations to her. She has gone from "worth a look" a year ago to beyond unacceptable Liz Cheney today. Such a massive self destruction has to have been on purpose on someone's part.

I got my vote in Thursday, poster 16. I can't wait to hear how badly she got smoked. She was polling at 35 percent with PDT at over 65 percent. And, her hometown is in shambles; that place is like a ghost town, and nobody likes her there either. Quit, Nimrata, quit!

Update: I’m waiting to vote and have never seen a line this long in all the years I have voted at this precinct. Trump is absolutely going to demolish Nikki.

She's simply doing what the people who are funding her "campaign" are telling her to say.

#22, remember at the time Trump was elected he was not a DC career guy and relied on advise and references from the wimpy establishment DC Republicans for appointments to fill out almost all the positions in his administration. That did not work out as those wimpy Republicans collapsed during the Trump years anytime the situation got rough. You can be sure that Trump learned his lesson and that will not happen after he is elected in November.
