Nikki Haley Targets Trump and Biden in 'Grumpy Old Men' Campaign Amid Doubts from Major Donor

Despite losses in early primaries, Haley hopes for a strong showing in South Carolina, while outside group PrimaryPivot rallies independent and Democratic voters to her cause.

  • Nikki Haley launched an ad campaign called 'Grumpy Old Men' targeting former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden for their age and mental acuity.
  • Despite losing in the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, Haley is hoping a strong showing in her home state of South Carolina will help her last through Super Tuesday on March 5.
  • Republican megadonor Ken Griffin, who donated $5 million to a super PAC supporting Haley's presidential bid, expressed doubt in Haley's ability to win the Republican nomination.
  • PrimaryPivot, a political group urging independent and Democratic voters to vote for Haley in upcoming Republican primaries, plans to remain active through the GOP primary in Georgia on March 12.
  • Haley has proposed mental competency tests for candidates who are 75 and older and called for a new generation of leadership in the GOP and the country.
