Governor DeSantis & Trump Allies Launch TV Ads Targeting Nikki Haley

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump's allies release closing ads targeting Nikki Haley in Iowa, while Trump attends a presidential immunity hearing in D.C.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and frontrunner Donald Trump’s allies have recently released closing TV ads targeting Nikki Haley in Iowa. The SFA Fund, a super PAC supporting Haley’s presidential campaign, created an ad criticizing DeSantis for “trying to court China.” Meanwhile, Trump is temporarily putting a pause on his campaign activities in Iowa to attend a presidential immunity hearing in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday. It is important to note that the land deal in South Carolina, which involved a Chinese company, occurred at the county level during Haley’s governorship. Additionally, a pro-Haley super PAC received Four Pinocchios for a misleading ad aimed at undermining DeSantis’ claims about Haley’s recruitment. With the Iowa caucus just two weeks away, the super PAC supporting Haley is launching a new attack ad. In December, Donald Trump gained five new Senate endorsements. Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis also released a closing ad in Iowa that criticizes GOP primary rival Nikki Haley for her remarks made to a New Hampshire crowd. The pro-DeSantis super PAC, Fight Right, placed a $1.4 statewide ad buy in Iowa targeting Haley for her recent joke. Both Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis have been focusing on China in their campaigns.
