Nikki Haley's Pardon Pledge for Trump Sparks Controversy

The Republican presidential candidate's inconsistent stance on Trump and her controversial comments about the Civil War have drawn criticism, but she remains a potential contender in the primary.

Nikki Haley, a Republican presidential candidate, has declared that she would pardon Donald Trump if he is found guilty of federal crimes, stating that it is in the country's 'best interest'.
Haley's stance on Trump has been criticized as inconsistent, with some accusing her of trying to appeal to both pro-Trump and anti-Trump factions within the Republican party.
Haley's recent comments about the Civil War, in which she failed to mention slavery as a cause, have drawn criticism and accusations of historical revisionism.
Despite these controversies, Haley is still considered a potential contender in the Republican primary, although she trails significantly behind Trump in the polls.
Some reports suggest that Haley may be considering a switch to a different district for her re-election campaign, indicating potential concerns about her chances of success.
