POINT: Nikki Haley is certainly capable of defeating Biden and serving as president

In a few weeks, the 2024 election season will officially commence when the Iowa caucuses take place. As of now, former President Donald Trump has a commanding lead in the Hawkeye State polls. However, Nikki Haley, the former U.N. ambassador and South Carolina governor, remains a viable candidate and definitely can beat President Joe Biden in November.

Based on the Real Clear Politics Average, Haley is beating Biden by 5.8%. By contrast, Trump holds a slim 2.2% edge over the president. Moreover, Haley’s “favorable� versus “unfavorable� spread of minus 0.7% is the slimmest among all of the candidates left in the race. For context, Biden has a minus 15.8% spread, Trump boasts a minus 15.2% spread, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has a minus 14.2% spread.
