Nikki Haley, former Republican presidential candidate, anticipates a defeat for her party in the midterm elections if President Donald Trump fails to improve the economy for millions of citizens in the coming months.

During an interview In an interview with Fox News, the conservative senator from South Carolina pointed out that Washington is neglecting the issue of affordability, and that this could be a deciding factor in the November elections. "Not enough attention has been paid to the issue of affordability for Americans. There are still too many children living at home, there are still people who can't afford rent, there are people with less money in their pockets, and you can't just look at the stock market and say the economy is doing well. If Americans don't feel there is some hope for their wallets and some hope for raising their families, we will lose," she warned. From Haley's perspective, it is crucial to regain the public's trust to continue with the national project they voted for in 2024, otherwise it could be cut short. “I think now is the time to focus on the value of the dollar, which is weakening, on how to get that more money reaches the pockets of Americans, how to increase jobs, which are stagnating and starting to make Americans feel hopeless,” she emphasized.

Due to the challenge Nikki Haley posed to Donald Trump during his presidential campaign, the New York businessman decided to sideline her from any possibility of holding a position in his administration, as he did with other high-ranking Republicans, such as Mike Pompeo, the former Secretary of State.

Therefore, the 54-year-old former governor had no alternative but to work for the Walter P. Stern Center for Thought at the Hudson Institute, where he teaches while awaiting a new opportunity to return to the political arena, which various analysts agree could not occur until the end of the current federal administration.
