    Not really. She is still likely to enact project 2025 upon taking office. To paraphrase one conservative, she is really good at looking like a normal politician. She’s a confederate zombie back from the dead.

        I think Nikki Haley is going to do the things Trump is saying, she just isn’t saying them. If any Republican presidential candidate takes office next year, it is likely we will end up in a christofascist dictatorship.

        Here is some current polling:

        Polling this early on isn’t that meaningful. I think what it does illustrate is that Biden isn’t obviously dominating in a Biden-Haley match up. If anything it looks Haley beats Biden by a larger margin than Trump does.

        Rather than trying to support Haley because she is perceived to be less of a fascist, she’s not, or because Biden will do better against her in a general election, as far as we know, he won’t, we should focus on pressuring Biden to enact policy changes that his voting base are demanding.

        For example, a lot of younger voters are frustrated by Biden’s handling of the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict. We should direct our time and energy on getting Biden to change his outdated views on Israel.
