Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley is knocking former President Donald Trump for “living in the past.”
In an interview with RealClearPolitics, Haley decried “whining” in Politics.
When asked if her comment about whining applied to Trump, she said, “He’s living in the past, and the past is catching up with him in a way that it is causing drama.”
“And I think it’s been politicized. He’s been abused – the way that he has been treated in office and out of office is wrong,” she continued. “But the American people need to go forward.”
The former South Carolina governor called Trump a “friend.”
However, Haley said she believes voters “get the fact that this could be challenging for him to win a general.”
She went on, “We have to move forward. We can’t deal with the drama that’s following him. We can’t deal with the baggage.”
“We’ve got a country to save,” she added.
A spokesman for the Trump campaign told RealClearPolitics, “Take a look at the polling and how President Trump is by far the overwhelming choice for Republicans (in the primary) and for all Americans (the general). It’s clear who the most ‘electable’ candidate is.”
