Following Trump's historic victory in the Iowa caucuses on Monday, Haley's (R.S.C.) campaign issued a statement saying she had previously canceled Republican debates because of her lead. Trump, who has been absent, has “no place to hide,” he said.
“We had five great debates in this campaign,” the former South Carolina governor said. “Unfortunately, Donald Trump ignored them all. He has no place left to hide. The next debate I have will be with either Donald Trump or Joe Biden. . looking forward to it.”
Following her statement, the Florida governor accused Haley of avoiding a rematch by saying she was “afraid of tough questions” and was only running for President Donald Trump's vice president.
“The reality is she's not running for the nomination, she's running to be President Trump's running mate,” said DeSantis (R-Fla.).
