On December 18, local time, Nikki Haley, a Republican presidential candidate in the United States, attacked Biden's age in a new campaign ad, saying that he was "too old". This is one of the most direct attacks on Biden's age right now in the 2024 campaign cycle.
It's not just Biden, she mocked the age of members of Congress, calling Congress "America's superlative nursing home."
Haley, 51, is the former governor of South Carolina and has repeatedly used his age to spur the 81-year-old Biden and position himself as the next generation of leaders. At her first campaign rally in February, she said, "America is ready to move away from the old notions and faded names of the past." We are fully prepared to welcome a new generation and lead us into the future. Haley also said on a television show in September, "We can't stand watching Biden forget where he is." ”
Haley did not mention Trump in this campaign ad, and the 77-year-old Trump is not much younger than Biden. She did, however, call on voters to "throw away the chaos and drama of the past and let a new generation and a new conservative president govern." Haley, who served as Trump's ambassador to the United Nations during his presidency, has repeatedly used the word "chaos" to describe what Trump's second term might look like.
On December 19, local time, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump was not eligible for the party primary in the 2024 general election in the state. That means Trump may not be on the Colorado ballot in next year's presidential election. Colorado's move will only affect the state's Republican primary, but its outcome will affect Trump's standing in the state's election next November. In response, the Trump team said it would appeal to the Supreme Court.
