Former South Caroline Governor, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and current Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is reiterating her warning that President Joe Biden isn't the real threat in 2024. Instead, it's Vice President Kamala Harris.
"My concern is, we cannot have Kamala Harris as president. We can't chance this," Haley said, explaining why she's the best candidate to oppose her. "We have to make sure we win this because the thought of Kamala Harris being president should send a chill up every American's spine."

Harris received a net negative rating of -17, which is the lowest net negative rating for a vice president in the history of the poll.
