"I trust Iowans to make their own decisions. No "corrections" needed!" - Governor Kim Reynolds

DES MOINES, IA - A swarm of Iowa conservative leaders are slamming Nikki Haley for insulting Hawkeye State voters yesterday when she said their voters need to be "corrected" by the people of New Hampshire.

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds: I trust Iowans to make their own decisions. No "corrections" needed!

Bob Vander Plaats: These comments by Nikki Haley are very telling regarding her status in Iowa. And, this admission of getting beat in the Hawkeye state gives Chrystal clear clarity and renewed conviction to Iowans as they Caucus for Ron DeSantis on January 15.

Iowa State Representative Jon Dunwell: Wow…Nikki Haley just keeps getting it wrong.

Iowa State Representative John Wills: The fact that Haley makes a statement that New Hampshire "will correct Iowa" tells me she is worried and has to spin it. Iowans make their own decisions and don't need correction. Maybe her mistake on Caitlin Clark's name and the Civil War issue are enough.

Iowa State Representative Skylar Wheeler: Nikki Haley with another absolute disaster on her hands. Iowa won't make a mistake because we won't pick a lib like yourself. We actually value conservatism in our state.

Haley's comments came after New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu yesterday raised expectations for her in Iowa, claiming "She's going to shock everyone in Iowa with a strong second."
