I don’t need someone who palled around with segregationists in the 70s and has said racist comments all the way through his career lecturing me or anyone in South Carolina about what it means to have racism, slavery, or anything related to the Civil War. pic.twitter.com/74aXAEDJyp

Haley’s campaign then sent the media a “Biden’s Racial Comments and Actions” list.
Some of the quotes include the then-future president calling himself a “token black” senator, touting pro-segregationist and former Alabama Gov. George Wallace as “right” on certain issues, and calling former President Obama the “first mainstream African American” who appears “clean,” “bright,” “articulate,” and “nice-looking.”
So far, the president’s re-election campaign hasn’t publicly responded to this list.
Haley makes tangible headway in New Hampshire
Despite taking hits from the president, recent polling out of New Hampshire reveals Haley making progress. A CNN pollster, in particular, has her carrying 32% in the Granite State’s GOP primary, beating out rivals DeSantis, Ramaswamy, and Christie.
The presidential hopeful’s standing in New Hampshire rose significantly in the aftermath of Sununu’s endorsement. A closer look at the newest poll likewise demonstrates Haley doing especially well with both moderate and Independent voters.
