Throughout the evening Haley brought up another GOP candidate.
“Another hard truth, I voted for Donald Trump twice, I was proud to serve America in his administration but rightly or wrongly chaos follows him.”
Haley told voters what she would do if she’s voted into the oval office.
“When I am president, we will no longer give countries money that hate America,” she said.
Emphasizing that foreign policy, drugs, education and immigration are important issues to her.
