Nikki Haley bowed out of the two upcoming GOP primary debates in New Hampshire the morning after she landed third place in the Iowa caucuses.
The former South Carolina governor announced the news on social media, saying the next time she debates she will be on stage beside Joe Biden or Donald Trump, who has skipped all five Republican primary debates.
“We’ve had five great debates in this campaign. Unfortunately, Donald Trump has ducked all of them. He has nowhere left to hide,” she said on Tuesday. “The next debate I do will either be with Donald Trump or with Joe Biden. I look forward to it.”
The two GOP New Hampshire debates were scheduled for Thursday and Saturday of this week, just days after the Iowa caucuses. The Granite State’s first-in-the-nation primary will take place next Tuesday.
Haley received just over 19 percent of the Iowa caucus votes on Monday night, falling close behind Florida governor Ron DeSantis at roughly 21 percent. Trump was the clear winner, coming in at 51 percent.
