The presidential campaign of former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, in an exclusive release, highlights her conservative credentials in a new video scheduled to air prior to her CNN town hall in Iowa. This video, entitled "A True Conservative Warrior," is scheduled to broadcast subsequent to the network's town hall discussion featuring Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. It offers an analysis of Haley's tenure as the governor of South Carolina from the perspectives of influential conservative figures and news organizations.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is quoted in the campaign as extolling Haley as a "extremely, extremely successful governor." In addition, Sarah Palin, the former Republican governor of Alaska, commends Haley for resolutely defending conservative ideals in the face of opposition from "the good old boys." Additionally, the video integrates news clips that underscore Haley's audacious endeavors, including vetoing multiple line items from the South Carolina budget, opposing labor unions vehemently, enforcing stringent regulations on unauthorized immigration, and endorsing a legislation restricting abortion to twenty weeks.
In addition, a sound bite honoring Haley as the "surprise rock star of this administration" on account of her perceived toughness is featured in the video, which accentuates her tenure as U.N. ambassador during the Trump administration. Greg Gutfeld of Fox News adds his 2 cents, praising Haley for "exemplifying with courage what American foreign policy looks like."
This video release establishes the context for Haley's appearance at a CNN town hall in Des Moines, Iowa, which is slated to occur at Grand View University. The event will be moderated by CNN anchor Erin Burnett at 10 p.m., following the town hall with Governor DeSantis, which is presided over by CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins at 9 p.m. Significantly, it is anticipated that the January 10 debate airing on CNN will exclusively feature Trump, DeSantis, and Haley. However, Trump has consented to a contradictory town hall on Fox News. Notwithstanding this, Haley and DeSantis have advocated for the Republican front-runner's attendance at the debate.
Caucuses in Iowa are scheduled to commence immediately after the January 15 debate. Haley's campaign team is evidently exerting considerable effort to reinforce her conservative persona in preparation for the forthcoming campaign events. America, beware—Nikki Haley is determined to leave her impression!
