Charleston, South Carolina "Hello America, hello. I stand before you today as many things, a wife, a mother, a patriot, a former Governor and Ambassador and most importantly, a candidate for the Presidency of the United States of America! Applause I am seeking the nomination of this great Republican party because there is something I believe in very strongly. That is America's Promise. I am the daughter of two immigrants who came to this nation to seek a better life. Through their hard work they were able to achieve a better future for me. That is the promise of America. I've seen it with my own eyes and that is why as UN ambassador I fought for America to be a beacon of freedom and liberty to the rest of the world. Unfortunately today too many politicians don't believe in America's Promise. They believe in micro-managing our lives and not rewarding our hard work. That's why we have to make sure the Democrats do not keep the White House next November. I am the candidate who can stop that. And as your president I will always strive toward that shining city on the hill. I hope you will join me by texting NIKKI to 33008. Thank you and God bless you and may God bless the United States of America!"

After the event, Former Ambassador Haley's campaign went live with her campaign slogan: "Restoring America's Promise."

May/June Schedule for Nikki Haley

May 1: Announce campaign in Charleston, South Carolina

May 2-5: Meet with voters in Charleston, South Carolina (With Nancy Mace)

May 6: Meet with voters in Orangeburg, South Carolina

May 7-9: Meet with voters in Columbia, South Carolina

May 10: Appear on Anderson Cooper 360

Cooper: Coming on the program tonight we have former U.N Ambassador, Governor and now canidate for the Republican nomination, Nikki Haley. Ambassador Haley great to have you on.

Haley: Glad to be here, Anderson.

Cooper: So Ambassador, I wanted to start off with a question about were you align in the Republican party. Do you consider yourself more aligned with the Trump wing of the party or more establishment or something else entirely?

Haley: Well Anderson, I don't like to be pigeonholed like that. The Republican party is a big tent and we welcome all sorts of conservative ideologies. As a nominee, I can bring all of those wings together.

Cooper: If elected, you would be the first woman to be President of the United States. How does that impact your campaign?

Haley: It's true, I would be the first woman to take the office. But I hope for people not to vote for me just for that reason. I would hope people support me because they believe I have strong policies. By winning I hope to show the left that you don't need to divide people up by identity to help disadvantaged groups succeed.

Cooper: You have both praised and criticized former president Trump in the past. What are your overall thoughts on him as a person, and how do you feel about his son announcing a candidacy?

Haley: I was very happy to work with president Trump as U.N ambassador and support his re-election. I felt his policies were strong and that he deserved a second term. Of course, I didn't agree with everything he did, especially in regards to the Kurds in Syria but that happened after I left the administration. As for his personal conduct, I didn't always approve especially in regards to his treatment of women. But that disapproval didn't mean I wouldn't work with him to do great things for our country. As for Donald Jr.'s candidacy, I don't see how he has any qualifications. HE's been handed everything in his life on a silver platter and now he wants to be the most powerful man in the world. We can't nominate him.

Cooper: Alright, Ambassador Haley, thank you.

May 11: Meet with voters in Spartanburg, South Carolina

May 12: Meet with voters in Asheville, North Carolina (With Thom Tillis)

Four years ago in North Carolina, you chose decency. You chose a true conservative champion over a radical liberal who cheated on his wife. I promise you this, North Carolina.

Excerpt from speech on May 23:

My new trade plan will save states like Iowa that have been hit hard by over-regulation of our trade system. Tariffs are a discredited way of producing government revenue that leftists keep trying to push on us. Iowan farmers know how hard it is to keep afloat if they are having to pay double for essential supplies. My plan will protect American workers from their jobs going away, not from new jobs coming here.

June 11: Meet with voters in Ames, Iowa (With Kim Reynolds)

Twitter response to Kamala Harris's "Domestic Terrorists" comment

Vice President Harris's violent attacks on conservatives degrade the tone of our national conversation and sow division in our people. I promise to be a unifying voice as president.

June 12: Meet with voters in Clear Lake, Iowa (With Kim Reynolds)

June 12-15 Meet with voters in Minneapolis, Minnesota; Give campaign rally on the 14th

Excerpt from speech:
Now as I understand, just a few days ago in this very city Mr. Mike Lindell announced a campaign for the presidency. He began this ugly campaign with attacks on the Vice President's religion. Know this, I was married in both Sikh and Christian weddings. There will be no place for religious intolerance in my America. We can attack our opponents without going after their personal faith. We can disagree without being disagreeable. If we go down a path of division, we will lose and we will deserve to lose.

June 17: Meet voters in Worcester, Massachusetts

June 18: Town Hall in Lowell, Massachusetts

Statement from Governor Haley:

"I will never be afraid to share my ideas with the American people. I will be happy to attend Mr. Trump's non-partisan debate. There I will present my case as to why I am the best choice for the Republican party and for the United States I would hope my fellow candidates will accept this offer as well and I question their motives for not attending."

[Left Wing]

Opening Statement: I would first like to thank Fox News for hosting this debate and my fellow candidates for attending. We are at a turning point in America's history. Right now we have an administration which rejects America's place as the greatest nation on Earth. They seek to tear all we have built as a people. They have bowed down to our adversaries across the world. They have accepted riots and chaos on the streets. Well, America I'm here to offer you a better choice. I am running because I want to restore America's Promise. We need to bring our country together and let people be united. We need to continue to serve as a beacon of democracy for the world. We need to create a nation where anyone feels like they can safely and securely raise a child. That's America's Promise and I'm willing to fight for it. Thank you.

1. Right now, you are the frontrunner for the Republican nomination. However, many conservatives feel like you do not truly share their values. Why do you think that is and what would you if you are nominated to convince them to vote for you?

Well Chris, I don't know if that's exactly the case. I think many people might just not know me yet. I haven't been a flamboyant media personality like some of my opponents, I've been actually doing my job. But when you look at my positions on the issues, you will see I'm a pro-life, pro-gun, pro business conservative. Those are the values I believe in, I stood up for them as governor, I stood up for them as ambassador and they are the values I'll stand up for as your president of the United States. For my opponents to suggest anything else is completely absurd.

2. Given the still ongoing debate in the country regarding the fairness of the 2020 election, do you believe that the election was rigged or that the Biden victory was legitimate?

It depends on what exactly you're asking there. I do believe that Joe Biden won the states he won, but that doesn't mean there was zero voter fraud like the media says. Biden received many of his votes from policies like ballot harvesting and universal mail-in. These policies are extremely susceptible to fraud as even many Democrats would admit. As president I will push for and sign bills that ban these practices so we can ensure our elections are  completely free and democratic.


Closing Statement: As the only person on this stage with experience as an ambassador and governor, I am by far the most qualified person on this stage. I can work with our allies, while securing a better life here at home. If you didn't know me before tonight I hope you've been convinced by what I had to say. If you want to support a woman who believes in standing up for America's Promise, then please go to Nikki2024.com and join us.

Response to the passing of Senator Sanders:

Response to Hunter Biden news and Kamala Harris dropping out:
The latest revelations about the president's son are deeply disturbing. We must investigate these claims and see if the president knew of his son's actions.

I am excited to meet him on the debate stage next year.

August 28th: Take the Utah Light Rail. Rally with Governor Spencer Cox at Vivint Smart Home Arena
August 29th: Travel to Reno, Nevada

[Left Wing]

First let me thank Fox News for hosting this debate and I thank my fellow candidates for attending. Folks, you are going to hear a lot of things from opponents tonight. Not too much of it is going to be true. They're going to offer vague statements about the problems, but they're going to offer solutions. They are going to act like they can wave their hand and make all the problems go away. They can't. We can't go down a route of poorly thought-out policy. We need to elect a Republican nominee who can bring the fight to the Democrats, not engage in the same kind of foolishness as them. If I am elected as president, I will bring that fight to them, every, single day.

Specific Questions -

To Former Ambassador Haley -

1. Will you push for a plan to repeal and replace Obamacare and if so, what would that plan contain?

I will pursue a repeal and replacement of Obamacare as president. Now the left wing media is going to take the quote of context and say that I want to throw people off of their healthcare, I don't want to throw anyone off their healthcare. But simply put, Obamacare was extremely mismanaged and we need a new system. That system will cut red tape for insurers to lower the price of care and keep the market competitive while making sure people with pre-existing conditions are covered. That is the kind of common sense market-based plan that congress will pass and I will sign as president.

2. Democratic Super PACs, seemingly worried about having to fight the General Election against you, have already released hundreds of ads airing in swing states right now, claiming that you are so hawkish that you would invade Palestine, North Korea and Syria, leading to more never-ending wars. What is your response?

Tucker, this is simply ridiculous. I have never called for invading any of the places you mentioned nor would I pursue war as president. Only a fool would do that. I am merely concerned at the Biden administrations tepid attempts to fight back against authoritarianism. They need to understand there is a middle ground between cutting ourselves off and going to war around the world. America was once a beacon of hope to the world but the Biden administration has put an end to that. I'm going to restore ourselves as that beacon when I win this election.

Closing Statement:

If we're going to defeat Sherrod Brown, we're going to need sanity. If we're going to defeat Sherrod Brown, we're going to need to get real with the American people. My opponents just don't understand how to do that. Mr. Lindell spread a fake cure for the coronavirus, putting our citizen's lives at risk. He can't honestly get up here and say he cares about the American people. Mr. Trump junior talks a big game, but what has he done? He inherited everything his father worked so hard to build, he never had to work a day in his life. I am the only person on this stage who has held elected office, who has been up there in government fighting for conservative values. My opponents have just been sitting around, complaining their whole lives. I don't complain, I get to work. Thank you.

Excerpt from speech

New Hampshire! In a little over one week you have a decision to make. That decision is between me and Mr. Lindell. But I know, New Hampshire that you see Mr. Lindell for what he really is. He's an outside interloper trying to sow division in the Republican party. He uses faux populist rhetoric to try and get Republicans to turn on each other. He has refused to sign the pledge to endorse the eventual nominee. It's as clear as day he doesn't care about governing he only cares about getting on your TV screen. I'm in this fight because I believe in America's Promise. I believe that we can do better than the socialist policies of this current administration. And I believe that we will win New Hampshire and we will win this election!

[Left Wing]

Announcement of Vice-presidential candidate

Throughout this campaign Ambassador Haley has carefully weighed the decision of when to choose her running mate. Many different aspects of the situation were considered, including timing, willingness to serve and unity. She has met with many candidates to find the right option when the time comes. Well, that time has come.

Ambassador Haley has selected Mr. Donald Trump Jr. to be her running mate for the nomination of the Republican Party for President and Vice President of the United States. The Ambassador first met Mr. Trump in 2017, through his father and has enjoyed working with him since. He will bring much-needed business experience to the White House to bring aid to working families. We are ready to get to work to get this ticket nominated and elected. We understand it is unusual to select a running mate before the primary process has ended but Ambassador Hale beleives it is necessary to unite the party in opposition to Mr. Lindell. Thank you and may God bless America

It's time to face who we want as the face of the Republican party. Do we want a liberal elite like Mike Lindell or do we want a conservative champion like myself? I mean, this Mike Lindell guy pushed a fake cure for the coronavirus. He's supported anti-growth liberal economic policies. And he also spews hateful bigotry wherever he goes. I can promise you this, I will be a president for all Americans. I won't seek to tear down what we've built. That's why I'm trying to bring back America's Promise. It's why I'm running, it's why the National Right to Life commitee endorsed me and it's why we're going to beat Mike Lindell tomorrow! Thank you New Hampshire!

Mike Lindell supported the statement that "Immigrants make our country poorer and dirtier" He hasn't laid out any plan for controlling our borders. No leadership.

Ambassador Nikki Haley supports reforming our immigration system to protect our borders while reforming our immigration system to cut bureaucracy and improve the lives of those who want to become Americans. Because that' America's Promise.

This movement can't be stopped by Mike Lindell, it can't be stopped by the Sherrod Brown and it sure as hell can't be stopped by the liberal elites who've been out to get us from the beginning. They want to make sure the Republican nominee isn't a true conservative. Well let me tell you folks, I've been endorsed by National Right to Life and the National Rifle Association. I'm the only one you can trust as your president. Here in Nevada we're going to show Mike Lindell we believe in conservative values and we're going to win the state!

June 1st-15th schedule for Nikki Haley

By U.S. Department of State from United States - Ambassador Haley Delivers Remarks to the Press on the UN Human Rights Council, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=70119559

June 1: Rally in Las Vegas with Senate Candidate James Settlemeyer

Sherrod Brown's attacks on me are such a distraction from the great plans I have for our nation. His policies come directly from the radical left playbook but Americans are going to see how bad they really are this November. We're going to bring down the price of prescription drugs, not force you off of your private healthcare. We're going to incentivize businesses to protect the enviroment, not burden them down with excessive regulations. We're going to protect the lives of the unborn, not fore taxpayers to pay for them! My ideas are common-sense conservative policies that almost everyone can agree on and we're going to see that at the polls this November when Nevada votes for me and for James Settlemeyer!

June 2-5th: Meet with voters in Las Vegas, emphasize support for immigration reform and how Sherrod Brown's trade policies will hurt migrant workers
June 6th: Open door fundraiser in Las Vegas, Nevada
June 8th: Rally in Reno, Nevada
Excerpt from speech:

Senator Brown's economic policies would be, to put it mildy, disastrous. He has called for high tariffs which will practically stop all jobs from coming into this nation. There is no way that his radical ideas would bring jobs back to this country.  He's supported withdrawing from the World Trade Organization. This would put the world at a major disadvantage and allow China's economic might to continue to grow. I can promise you this, will never back down to China as president.

June 9th: Fly to Cleveland, take questions from reporters
June 10th: Rally with Governor Mike Dewine in downtown Cleveland

Let's talk about education, Cleveland. Too many kids are falling behind in our public schools. I'm going to appoint a secretary of education who recognizes the problems and takes them head on. In the mean time, meny children receive a very special opportunity in the form of charter schools. They truly exemplify how public-private partnership in America can lead to great things. Unfortunately, Senator Brown introduced a bill in 2015 which would seek to place more and more overbearing regulations on charter schools. Turning this places of hope and opportunity into the same failing institutions as our public schools. This isn't a binary choice. We can improve both charter schools and public schools at the same time. Democrats simply are trying to divide people by pitting these two types of education against each other. When I'm president, I won't play these political games, I'll fight to improve the lives of every American.

June 11th-14th: Barnstorm suburban Cleveland with Frank LaRose
June 15th: Begin airing the following ad:

Narrator: Sherrod Brown has been in politics since 1975, what's changed?

Our prescription drug prices have skyrocketed

Our air and water are more polluted than ever

Workers are paid less in wages due to heavy inflation

Sherrod Brown says he can fix these problems, if that's the case why hasn't he done it in Washington all these years?
