Haley Campaign Press Release - In Case You Missed It... Nikki Haley Won the Third Debate

CHARLESTON, S.C. – The consensus is overwhelming: Nikki Haley won the debate. See for yourself.

Kim Strassel, Wall Street Journal: Leadership is becoming the central theme of the Haley campaign, and that helps explain her marked rise in national and state polls... The more vivid contrast on Wednesday's stage was between Ms. Haley's unwavering support for Ukraine and Israel—her clear vision of a "strong America" that "prevents wars"—and Ron DeSantis's clear desire to duck the whole topic.

Kathleen Parker, Washington Post: At third GOP debate, Haley's comet again shone brightest

The Messenger: Haley won debate, Ramaswamy performed worst: Poll

The Hill: Haley won, Ramaswamy lost third debate, says poll

Playbook: NIKKI HALEY was the apparent winner of the foreign policy-dominated conversation in Miami — not just for the former UN ambassador's command of world affairs in a time of crisis, but for the clapbacks that have become a hallmark of her debate performances... HALEY'S BEST NIGHT YET: Of all the candidates onstage, there's no doubt that Haley took the most arrows. Yet the attacks only underscored her ability to smoothly parry.

The Washington Post: Our Republican debate poll finds Nikki Haley won... A 538/Washington Post/Ipsos poll of potential Republican primary and caucus voters who watched Wednesday's debate, hosted by NBC News, finds that a plurality, or 34 percent of debate watchers, say Haley performed best. No other candidate on the stage came close to Haley.

New York Times: Nikki Haley emerged as a power center on the debate stage, giving a forceful performance that took advantage of the night's focus on foreign policy to present a clear and hawkish vision of America's role in the world.

Lee Carter, Fox News: Absolutely, very very clearly, among the voters that we spoke to, it was Nikki Haley, far and away, 70% said she won the night.

Tudor Dixon, Fox News: Nikki Haley did a great job last night. She's just speaking in reality.

New York Times: Well, she certainly beat all the boys. Such as they were.

The Messenger: Haley's performance in three debates now has clearly established her as the candidate with momentum who cannot — and will not — be pushed around by a stage full of men.

John Avlon, CNN: That line jumped out to me because of its moral clarity... It was particularly strong. If Jewish students are being menaced on campus, there's not a lot of room for hand-wringing and wondering how it should be dealt with. It should be clear. You protect students ... Nikki Haley was very strong on that.

Tammy Bruce, Fox News: You see a frat boy, who is perhaps auditioning for a television show which he may get, versus a woman who is a diplomat and a politician who can be the president of the United States, so brava!

Josh Holmes, Ruthless: Nikki Haley is obviously—from all headlines and polls and everything else—experienced a huge run-up from starting in Milwaukee to today, and she has gone from somebody that basically, I think, political pundits patted on the head, to someone who's running to Donald Trump at this point.

John Ashbrook, Ruthless: No candidate has more expertise in foreign policy than Nikki Haley... Here you have a candidate who is very, very strong, she has full command, full command of the issues on foreign policy.

Cheryl Casone, Fox Business: Nikki Haley won. I think that she came out strong on global policy.

Tiana Lowe Doescher, Fox Business: Nikki Haley won because she established herself again as the one viable alternative to Trump... Nikki Haley proved that she is made for the moment, this foreign policy moment where we now have two separate land wars that the U.S. is involved with.

Maria Bartiromo, Fox Business: I agree with you all, Nikki Haley, the winner of the debate.

Margaret Hoover, CNN: If Republicans want to learn a lesson, finally, on this issue of abortion, in which they continue to get beaten time after time in the polls, they could do nothing better than have Nikki Haley be the nominee for the party... She would literally be a silver bullet for the Republican Party.

Kristen Soltis Anderson, CNN: The restraint demonstrated by both Nikki Haley and Kristen Welker was extraordinary. I mean if she had taken one of those five-inch heels that Ramaswamy had also made fun of and impaled him live on stage, I'm not sure a jury would convict.
