We describe Nikki Haley’s increasing popularity in New Hampshire, Iowa, and South Carolina, and the value of her magnetism, charisma, leadership, and authenticity. We highlight the qualities that make Nikki Haley the best presidential candidate. We also highlight the potential impact of the primaries on overall election outcomes and invite listeners to do their research and vote.
