– Do we really want to go to an election with two types who will be president when they are in their 80s? she said in New Hampshire on Saturday.
– What worries me, and I’m not going to say anything derogatory, but when you have to deal with the pressure a president faces, then we can’t have someone where we have doubts about whether they are mentally fit for the job, she added .
Haley also used her own parents to emphasize the point, writes Washington Post:
– They are in their prime, and I love them. But when you reach a certain age, it goes down. It’s a fact, just ask any doctor, it’s going down And at this point, our country is very vulnerable right now.

NEW YORK (VG) For the second time in a row, things went completely black for Senator Mitch McConnell (81).
Nikki Haley, who is herself 52 years old, has previously lashed out at 81-year-old US President Joe Biden, who she believes is too old to rule the US for four more years.
Among other things, she has said that all candidates over the age of 75 should take a test to have their cognitive abilities examined.
When she now unleashes on Donald Trump with similar arguments, it marks the first time she criticizes him so directly, writes Washington Post.
The two are battling each other and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to become the Republicans’ next presidential nominee.
Trump is the overwhelming favorite, and leads the opinion polls. The next primary is in New Hampshire on January 23, a state where Haley is said to have many supporters.
Haley’s attack comes after Trump mixed her up with prominent Democrat Nancy Pelosi during a rally in the state on Friday.
Pelosi was the leader of the House of Representatives when Congress was stormed by an angry mob on January 6, 2021, and Trump, according to American media, should criticize her for not taking care of security at the site.
Instead of “Pelosi,” however, he said “Haley”:
– You know Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, did you know they destroyed all the information, all the evidence, everything? They deleted it and ruined everything because of many things, like Nikki Haley being in charge of security. WE offered her 10,000 people, he said among other things.
Trump himself is accused of inciting the crowd to march against Congress that day, when the elected officials were supposed to approve the election results that made Joe Biden the next president of the United States.
Trump’s campaign adviser Chris LaCivita writes on X, formerly Twitter, that the difference between Haley and Pelosi is not particularly great.
