Nikki Haley sharpened her attacks against Trump this morning in Laurens, SC:
- She said he’s acting “unbecoming of a president.”
- She said his NATO comments made her “sick to her stomach.”
- She said his mocking of her deployed husband is part of a “pattern.”

“Nothing good ever came from slavery. But I have a hard time believing that Fla. intended to say anything other than that in their education standards…I’d encourage the gov. to take another look at it.”

@NikkiHaley
after being interrupted by a pro-Trump protester at her rally tonight in Conway, SC:
“That’s what Trump does. He does disruption. That’s the only way he thinks he can win by planting people like this. I think we’re getting under his skin.”
After doing telephone town halls yesterday due to weather, Nikki Haley is back on the campaign trail with just two days until the Iowa caucuses.

on Donald Trump’s victory speech last night in NH:
“He pitched a fit. He was insulting. … I know that’s what he does when he is threatened and he should feel threatened.”

on the Colorado Supreme Court decision disqualifying Trump from the primary ballot:
“I will beat him fair and square. We don't need to have judges making these decisions. We need voters to make these decisions. So I want to see this in the hands of the voters.”
It's not official until it's in the credits.

Vice President Kamala Harris praised Gov. Josh Shapiro for making Pennsylvania the 24th state to implement automatic voter registration.
She contrasted his announcement with laws in other states that she said “intentionally make it more difficult to vote.”
A rare change to Nikki Haley’s stump speech tonight in Altoona, Iowa —
She went directly after Ron DeSantis on multiple issues and claimed he’s lying about her in his ads.
“I have not been negative about anybody. But if you’ve got to lie to win, you don’t deserve to win.”
Mike Pence responded to the situation in Israel this morning in Glenwood, Iowa:
“This is what happens what you have a president like Joe Biden … I also believe this is what happens when you have leaders in the Republican Party that are signaling retreat on the world stage.”

@NikkiHaley
on Trump being ordered to pay $83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll:
“Maybe it’s fair. Maybe it’s not. I don’t know.
But what I do know is all that time he’s spending in a courtroom defending himself, he’s not fighting for the American people.”
Hey,

Doug Burgum’s campaign is launching another gift card giveaway to new donors in hopes of meeting the 70k donor threshold for the third GOP debate, which the campaign says it is less than 10k donors short of. This time, they’re branded as gift cards to help with rising gas prices.
I’m on the phone with my mom and she suddenly is like “omg, I almost forgot to take my annual NYC marathon pic, I think I still have time.”
10 minutes later:
For those of you who doubt how much 10-year-old me loved my hamster Jay Jay ... my mom just sent me proof that he was in fact my “retreat” and “inspiration.”

Mike Pence reacts to the motion to vacate Speaker McCarthy while speaking at Georgetown University:
"I think what you're witnessing is a handful of Republicans partnering with Democrats in Congress to create chaos and oust a sitting Speaker of the House."
After covering the Haley campaign for months, I am watching Haley drop out of the race while on a plane from Vermont — the only state she won in yesterday’s Super Tuesday contests.
"Chuck and Nancy don't want to hang out with Don anymore because he tweeted mean things about them" is a sentence that would make just as much sense on Capitol Hill today as it would at a high school lunch table.

Pence taking more swipes at Ramaswamy this morning in Ankeny, IA:
“You got a candidate in the Republican primary that not only thought I had some ability to delay certification … but also suggested that the solution would be a four-part national election reform package.”
When asked if he thinks Vladimir Putin is a war criminal at a Sirius XM Town Hall at New England College this morning, Mike Pence said, “without question.”

Ahead of tomorrow’s debate, Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D-Ill) says all GOP primary candidates believe in the “MAGA agenda.”
“They may try to to dress it up in different ways — in boots or in high heels or a red tie — but it’s all the same.”
Pence later called out his fellow GOP presidential primary candidates by name:
"Appeasement and isolationism are weakness and I call on Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy and Ron DeSantis to abandon the language of appeasement."
Mike Pence responded to the situation in Israel this morning in Glenwood, Iowa:
“This is what happens what you have a president like Joe Biden … I also believe this is what happens when you have leaders in the Republican Party that are signaling retreat on the world stage.”
Nikki Haley weighed in on a two-state solution for Israel and Palestinians at a New Hampshire town hall last night --
"A two-state solution is not a true conversation because ... the Palestinians don't want a two-state solution."
Even though he’s among the most recognizable names in the GOP presidential primary, Pence has used his campaign to reintroduce himself to voters — and perhaps to history — on his own terms, not only as Donald Trump’s No. 2.
Mike Pompeo, Director of the CIA, will become our new Secretary of State. He will do a fantastic job! Thank you to Rex Tillerson for his service! Gina Haspel will become the new Director of the CIA, and the first woman so chosen. Congratulations to all!

Mike Pence says it’s “about time” a special counsel was appointed in the Hunter Biden investigation.
“I can't relate to what [Joe Biden’s] son was doing when he was vice president. When I was vice president, my son was flying an F35 for the Marine Corps defending this country.”
Gov. Doug Burgum is making adjustments on the trail after he ruptured his Achilles tendon, and this comes at a crucial time for his campaign.

vows to stay in the race & refutes that she wants to be VP or pres. in future:
“If I was running for bogus reasons, I would have dropped out a long time ago. The rest of the fellas already did that. They have their own plans. I don’t judge them. But I’m still here.”
Trump said of Nikki Haley’s deployed husband, “Where is he? He’s gone.”
Haley responded tonight in Gilbert, SC: “If you mock the service of a combat veteran, you don’t deserve a driver’s license, let alone being President of the United States.”
