What's left to say about Nikki Haley?

The MoJo Daily newsletter, Monday through Friday. [View in browser]( [Mother Jones Daily Newsletter](     February 20, 2024 There's not much to love about Nikki Haley. She is mealymouthed to the [point of nonsense](, willing to [condemn]( categorical filth only when [politically convenient](. But is there something to be said about her refusal to drop out of the Republican presidential primary? The former South Carolina governor once again [vowed to stay in the race today](, claiming she feels no need to "kiss the ring" of Donald Trump even as she prepares to lose her home state in the upcoming South Carolina primary. "I have no fear of Trump’s retribution," Haley told a crowd of supporters. This isn't to say that Haley deserves your praise. But call it refreshing, necessary, or simply entertaining: There's indeed something to be said about a Republican thorn in Trump's side, even if it's all but certain to end up brief and bleak when Haley ends up endorsing an "unhinged" and "diminished" candidate.
