Momentum continues to build for

Of course,
@NikkiHaley
was confident during the debate. Experience leads to confidence. She has more varied experiences than any one else on that stage: U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Governor and state legislator. America needs Nikki Haley — and her foreign policy expertise. 🇺🇸

If you don’t believe
@NikkiHaley
is a conservative fighter, you haven’t heard her speak. Polls consistently show Nikki will defeat Joe Biden by much larger margins than her GOP rivals. Let’s vote for a candidate who can win a general election. We have a country to save. 🇺🇸
NIKKI HALEY has been a conservative fighter all her life. That's why the most conservative grassroots group in the country, Americans for Prosperity, endorsed her last week.

The Iowa House this afternoon passed HF 2128, the Governor’s Biofuel Access Bill, on a vote of 81-10-9. This bill requires dealers with compatible infrastructure to offer E-15, which I believe is a win for Iowa farmers and consumers alike.

IF Trump wins the nomination, how will he win the general? He won’t! Look at all the voters he snubbed by saying there’s no room for them in MAGA. An overwhelming majority of Americans do not want a Trump-Biden rematch. So many reasons to support

SCOOP: Nikki Haley had an eye-popping month of fundraising in January, hauling in almost as much cash as the prior 3 months combined.
