To this end, DeSantis expressed his willingness, confirming he’s all in. Various polls have also shown that of all the contenders seeking the nomination, Haley continues to be one of DeSantis’ most formidable rivals.

Earlier this week, however, Haley took major backlash after proposing people should be mandatorily “identified” on social media platforms “by their names.”
The former UN ambassador stated on Fox News that allowing people to post anonymously on social media presents “national security threats.” However, critics pointed out how removing anonymity via governmental action would infringe upon the First Amendment.
In the wake of this scandal, the DeSantis campaign also hit Haley accordingly. The Florida governor’s campaign is now selling merchandise that directly opposes the notion of forcing social media users to show their names when posting.
No confirmation yet
At this time, Nikki Haley has yet to confirm her agreement to a one-on-one debate with DeSantis. Nevertheless, in the aftermath of Ingraham’s suggestion, many voters in the Republican Party expressed on X that they’d like to see her face off against the Florida governor.
