CSUSB professor comments on Nikki Haley taking on Trump
FiveThirtyEight
Feb. 14, 2023
Meredith Conroy, CSUSB associate professor of political science, cowrote an article on Nikki Haley, former United Nations ambassador in the Trump administration, taking on the former president in the 2024 Republican primary.
“Haley’s presidential bid isn’t just significant because she’s the first candidate to openly challenge Trump,” Conroy wrote with Amelia Thomson-DeVeaux, FiveThirtyEight senior writer. “ As a child of Indian immigrants, she’s also the first woman of color — and the fifth woman ever — to run for the Republican presidential nomination. … The fact that she’s going up against Trump will sharpen the contrast, particularly if he uses the racist and sexist attacks he’s employed against past challengers. Haley’s candidacy will be a high-profile test of how a woman of color is received by Republican primary voters.”
