This win propels Trump towards the nomination and a potential rematch with Joe Biden in November.

As per Future Path of Nikki Haley After Home State Primary Loss to Donald Trump. Trump’s success in the first four major nominating contests establishes a formidable lead as the “Super Tuesday” 15-state voting approaches. Despite Haley’s determination to continue, Trump, focused on the broader election, didn’t mention her in his victory speech, directing his criticism towards Biden.

Future Path of Nikki Haley After Home State Primary Loss to Donald Trump

“We’re going to be up here on November 5 and we’re going to look at Joe Biden — we’re going to look him right in the eye, he’s destroying our country — and we’re going to say, Joe, you’re fired. Get out,” Trump said to cheers at his victory party in state capital Columbia.

“This quick call is a bad result for former governor Haley in her home state. The quickness of the call will likely lead to additional pressure for her to drop out of the race,” he told AFP.

Haley, a former governor of South Carolina and the only woman in the Republican contest, aimed to surpass expectations in her home state but struggled against Trump’s right-wing populism. Trump’s previous victories and the likelihood of party unity ahead of his March 25 criminal trial pose challenges for Haley’s continued campaign.

‘Chaos’

Trump’s aides aim to eliminate Haley before the Republican National Convention, anticipating party consolidation around the front-runner. Haley, a traditional conservative, warned of a scandal-ridden Trump presidency. She criticized Trump’s comments to Black conservatives, calling them “disgusting,” and highlighted concerns about his response to global issues.

Despite arguing for her electability against Biden, Haley’s message may not have resonated widely. While she plans to persist through Super Tuesday, analysts suggest she could be positioning herself for a potential 2028 run or as a replacement if Trump faces legal or health challenges.

“Nikki Haley’s an incredible role model,” said one Republican voter, Julie Taylor. “She’s not giving up, she’s showing strength and grace and courage.”

Republican Call to Deactivate Biden’s TikTok Raises Security Concerns https://thenewsay.com/republican-lawmakers-urge-biden-to-deactivate-tiktok/ https://thenewsay.com/republican-lawmakers-urge-biden-to-deactivate-tiktok/#respond Tue, 20 Feb 2024 17:15:44 +0000 https://thenewsay.com/?p=5018 Republican lawmakers urge Biden to deactivate TikTok: A group of 18 Republican lawmakers has asked President Joe Biden to deactivate his campaign’s TikTok account, expressing national security worries.

In a letter obtained by Reuters, the lawmakers claim Biden is overlooking TikTok’s well-known national security risks. They question how the federal government can caution Americans about the app’s dangers when the Commander in Chief utilizes it.

Republican Lawmakers Urge Biden to Deactivate TikTok

Biden’s campaign recently joined TikTok on Feb 11, aiming to connect with younger voters. The campaign’s first video has gained 9.6 million views, and it has around 162,000 followers.

Senators Marco Rubio, Jerry Moran, John Barrasso, Marsha Blackburn, Rick Scott, and Josh Hawley are among the lawmakers urging Biden to “delete your account and publicly acknowledge the national security threat posed by TikTok.”

As of Monday, the White House, TikTok, and the Biden campaign have not responded to requests for comments on the letter.

Also Read: Republican lawmakers urge Biden to deactivate TikTok

Last week, Democratic Senator Mark Warner raised concerns about TikTok’s national security implications and the Biden campaign’s decision to join. He mentioned India’s ban on TikTok, expressing concern about a mixed message.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley reiterated her call to ban TikTok, calling it incredibly dangerous during a Fox News event on Sunday.

Congressional efforts to ban TikTok or impose new restrictions have stalled. Some lawmakers advocate placing China-based TikTok parent ByteDance on an export control list through the Commerce Department.

TikTok reported to Congress last month that 170 million Americans use the app, up from 150 million a year earlier.

The White House highlighted last week that a ban on TikTok’s use on government devices, approved by Congress in 2022 and signed by Biden, remains in effect.

In March 2023, the US Treasury-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) demanded TikTok’s Chinese owners sell their shares or face a potential ban. However, the administration has not taken any action on this so far.

Trump’s Dangerous Words on NATO and Potential Consequences https://thenewsay.com/dangerous-words-of-trump-on-nato-and-consequences/ https://thenewsay.com/dangerous-words-of-trump-on-nato-and-consequences/#respond Sat, 17 Feb 2024 11:51:44 +0000 https://thenewsay.com/?p=4963 Dangerous Words of Trump on NATO and Consequences: Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent comments inviting Russian President Vladimir Putin to act militarily against NATO allies, falling short of their defense spending goals, are not just mean-spirited but also pose a significant threat.

Dangerous Words of Trump on NATO and Consequences

The lack of weaponry access for Ukraine, as highlighted by President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, is seen as empowering Putin. Zelenskiy expressed concern about the artificial shortage, emphasizing the potential danger it brings in adapting to the ongoing war intensity.

The delayed U.S. military aid, coupled with acute ammunition shortages, particularly in regions like Avdiivka, raises worries about the security of American allies. Zelenskiy urges not to question when the war will end but to reflect on why Putin can sustain it.

Also Read: Dangerous Words of Trump on NATO and Consequences

The possibility of Putin interpreting Trump’s comments literally and launching an attack on an American ally, especially if Trump is reelected, adds another layer of concern. The fear is that such an attack could escalate into a broader conflict, and the U.S. might find itself at war with Russia.

Reflecting on historical instances of deterrence failure in American foreign policy, the importance of alliances like NATO in preventing wars is evident. Trump’s approach, reminiscent of times before such alliances, raises alarms about potential conflicts and the U.S. being drawn into them.

The examples of World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, and the situation in Ukraine highlight the risks of not having strong alliances and clear commitments. Trump’s actions are not just politically unwise but, based on historical precedents, could be playing with the risk of unintended consequences and potential conflicts.

Make no mistake, Putin is behind Navalny’s death,” Biden said, adding he was “not surprised” but “outraged” after the reported death of the Russian opposition leader.

He bravely stood up to the corruption, the violence and all the bad things the Putin government was doing,”

Biden added.

Navalny passed away in the Arctic prison where he was serving a 19-year sentence. The 47-year-old, who led the Anti-Corruption Foundation, openly criticized Putin.

According to Russia’s federal penitentiary service, Navalny, who had been poisoned before going to jail, became unwell after taking a walk.

the prison service said in a statement.

Resuscitation measures were carried out that did not yield positive results. Paramedics confirmed the death of the convict. The causes of death are being established,”

it added.

Potential Outcomes If Trump is Excluded from 2024 Presidential Ballot, Warns Experts https://thenewsay.com/potential-outcomes-if-trump-is-excluded-from-2024/ https://thenewsay.com/potential-outcomes-if-trump-is-excluded-from-2024/#respond Thu, 08 Feb 2024 10:57:00 +0000 https://smartmag.theme-sphere.com/smart-times/u-s-pharmacies-will-start-to-get-a-big-infusion-of-vaccines/ Potential Outcomes If Trump is Excluded from 2024 Presidential Ballot, Warns Experts: As the US Supreme Court gears up to consider arguments on Donald Trump’s eligibility for the 2024 elections, concerns about possible chaos emerge among experts.

Potential Outcomes If Trump is Excluded from 2024 Presidential Ballot

The US Supreme Court is on the verge of deliberating on Donald Trump’s eligibility for the 2024 presidential elections, with a focus on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. The upcoming decision raises apprehensions among experts, suggesting potential consequences. Here’s a breakdown of viewpoints from legal experts, as reported by Politico.

1. Likelihood of Violence

Rachel Kleinfeld, a senior fellow in Carnegie’s Democracy, Conflict, and Governance Program, emphasizes that “violence is likely no matter what happens.” If Trump is approved for elections, his campaigns might incite “violent incidents” from certain supporter groups. Kleinfeld also references a study by violence researchers, indicating concerns about “increased hate crimes and violence against journalists.” Conversely, if Trump is barred from the ballot, his disbelieving supporters might engage in significant violence.

2. Fear of Unprecedented Chaos

Rick Welson, co-founder of the Lincoln Project, expresses concern that Trump’s disqualification from the presidential elections could lead to “violence” and “chaos that makes Jan. 6 look like a Sunday picnic.” Welson underscores the potential damage to the country, describing it as a challenging situation for a constitutional republic. He also voices deep concern about a potential “fight between rule of law and the threat of civic violence.”

3. Potential Decrease in Voter Turnout

Ashley E. Jardina, an associate professor of Political Science at George Mason University, suggests that if the ruling goes against Trump, “many MAGA voters may simply not participate in the election.” While skeptical about the Supreme Court disqualifying Trump, Jardina points out that if Trump is not on the ballot, lower Republican voter turnout may be expected.

4. Concerns about Diminished Supreme Court Value

Scott Jennings, a senior CNN political commentator, expresses worry, stating, “If the Supreme Court does this, it would rip the country apart.” Referring to President Joe Biden’s tweet about the Supreme Court blocking him, Jennings highlights the potential for Republicans to “simply ignore” the Supreme Court’s decision if Trump is excluded from the ballot.
