(Atlantic, Iowa) – Republican Presidential Candidate and former Governor of South Carolina Nikki Haley, made a campaign stop Tuesday morning at Wickman Chemical, northeast of Atlantic. She was the guest of company owners Erich and Tammy Wickman. During her visit, Haley spoke of growing up on a farm near a small rural town in South Carolina.
Haley spoke of her time serving as United States Ambassador to the United Nations, and she harped on “How bad things are,” economically.
She said the decline in our economy can’t be blamed entirely on the Biden Administration, as most would like to do. She said Republicans have to take responsibility as well.

Nikki Haley said Republicans put $7.4-billion worth of pet projects and earmarks in the 2024 appropriations budget. Democrats put in $2.8-billion.
She said the nation’s education problems existed before COVID, and nothing’s changed to improve scores and proficiency in Reading and Math.
She also spoke about the “Border situation,” saying she has “truly run out of things to say about this,” except to say….
Nikki Haley criticized some of her Republican opponents who are in Iowa this week, accusing Donald Trump of cozying up to dictators. The Des Moines Register said Haley told a crowd in Carroll that Trumps policies were good, but his praise of dictators in this campaign puts our national security at risk.
Haley has stops scheduled today (Wednesday) in a trio of eastern Iowa communities.
