Woman on the Street – Mental Competency Tests

Team Haley took the question directly to the people and here's what they had to say about mental competency tests for politicians.

Faulkner Focus – Does Joe Biden Know What Country He's In?

Brad Polumbo: "Nothing pisses people off quite like telling them a truth they don't want to hear. That's exactly what GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley just did with her remarks about President Joe Biden's advanced age and the prospect that, if he's reelected, we could end up with Vice President Kamala Harris as president." (Washington Examiner, 4/30/23)

Byron York: "By bringing the age subject to the forefront, Haley has made a real contribution to the presidential race. Everybody knows Biden is too old for another term — he's too old for this one — but Democrats have fallen in line behind the president because they don't see any credible alternative. That's especially concerning given the prospect of Vice President Kamala Harris, whom no one wants to become president, as first in line behind the oldest chief executive in history." (Washington Examiner, 5/2/23)

Steve Hilton: "When Nikki Haley made that exact point this week, she was pilloried by the media. I guess what's acceptable coming from a liberal man, is totally beyond the pale when it's said by a Republican woman. And that's the point. The likelihood of Kamala Harris becoming president in a Biden second term is being put out there by Democrats." (Fox News, 5/1/23)

Thomas Friedman: "We are always told that, in the end, people vote for the candidate for president, not for vice president. But because Biden would be 86 at the end of a second term — and therefore the chance of his health failing is not small — people will be asked to vote as much for his vice president as for him, maybe more than in any other election in American history." (New York Times, 4/25/23)

Rachel Campos-Duffy: "He's getting assists from his staff, from kids, it's getting so obvious—and that's why you see Nikki Haley saying what she said, which is, listen, let's be honest, if Joe Biden runs, I'm actually going to be running against Kamala Harris, because he's not going to make it through this." (Fox News, 4/28/23)
