Donald Trump ‘clearly better choice’ over Kamala Harris: Nikki Haley

Washington:

Former US President Donald Trump is “clearly the better choice” over his Democratic rival Vice President Kamala Harris, former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said.

In a Wall Street Journal op-ed published two days before Election Day, Haley urged undecided voters to pay attention to both candidates’ policy proposals, which she said make clear Trump is the better option.

“I don’t agree with Trump 100 percent most of the time. But I agree with him most of the time and disagree with Harris almost always. me,” the former South Carolina governor wrote in a Sunday op-ed in The Wall Street Journal.

Batting for her former boss, the Indian-American woman wrote; “Will Trump do something I don’t like in his second term? I’m sure he will do it. If this question had been put before voters, I believe Trump would have lost. But this is not a matter of any election.

“No politician gets it right. For those of us who are discerning enough to see Trump’s flaws and honest enough to admit them, the question is whether we are better off with his policies or those of his opponent. On taxes, spending, inflation, immigration, energy and national security, the candidates are miles apart and Trump is clearly the better choice,” she wrote.

Haley said the Biden-Harris agenda has made the world a much more dangerous place.

“Our southern border poses the greatest threat to our security; Biden and Harris have made the situation much worse. Their defeat in Afghanistan not only created a new terrorist state; it also signaled the weakness that provoked Russia’s war against Ukraine,” she wrote.

“Their appeasement of Iran has enriched this oppressive regime and emboldened it to wage war on Israel through its terrorist proxies. And the administration’s weakness toward China has done nothing to prevent the expansion of communist power at our expense. This is the world that Biden-Harris failures have given us in four short years,” she said.

Haley argued that a Trump administration would be different.

“It wouldn’t be ideal. But I agree with Trump that we need to keep taxes low and cut them even more. I agree that we need to give up trillions of dollars in handouts to special interests. I agree that we need to expand American policy. energy to empower our families and job creators while making us less reliant on foreign energy,” Haley said.
