Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley spoke to supporters on Monday morning ahead of the Iowa caucuses.

While speaking to a crowd of people at Drake Diner in Des Moines, Iowa, Haley said voters could either ā€œgo back to the pastā€ with Trump or ā€œgo forward in the future.ā€

ā€œIf you’re giving your speech, speak from the heart, speak about America, speak about where we want to take our country and speak about the fact that we can’t have a president Kamala Harris,ā€ Haley told caucus voters. ā€œWe can’t do it.ā€

ā€œSpeak about the fact that we know this is how we’re going to get our country back on track,ā€ Haley added.

The Iowa caucuses begin around 7 p.m. CT, or 8 p.m. ET, and usually take place in schools, libraries, and churches and are held by the Republican Party, according to The Wall Street Journal.

During these meetings, a representative from each of the candidate’s campaigns is allowed to deliver a short speech, after which ballots will be passed out to voters.

Former President Donald Trump is leading Haley, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy in several polls. A Morning Consult poll conducted between Jan. 11 and 13 showed Trump with 69%, Haley with 12%, DeSantis with 11%, and Ramaswamy with 5%.
