Iowa’s Republican governor, Kim Reynolds, slammed former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s comments on X on Wednesday, saying that “no corrections” needed when Iowa makes a decision.
During a speech in New Hampshire, which votes after Iowa, Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, told the crowd, “You know, Iowa starts it. You know that you correct it … and then my sweet state of South Carolina brings it home.”
Reynolds shot back on X, saying, “I trust Iowans to make their own decisions. No “corrections” needed!”

Key allies of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in Iowa hammered presidential primary rival Nikki Haley after she appeared to smear Iowa voters.
Influential evangelical leader Bob Vander Plaats, another DeSantis backer, added on X, “These comments by @NikkiHaley are very telling regarding her status in Iowa. And, this admission of getting beat in the Hawkeye state gives Chrystal (sic) clear clarity and renewed conviction to Iowans as they Caucus for @RonDeSantis on January 15.”
The X account DeSantis War Room, the governor’s media response team, also noted on the platform, “Wow, Nikki Haley just attacked every single Iowa caucusgoer — saying their votes will need to be corrected.”
Meanwhile, Haley continued to have a tough day of campaigning on Wednesday.

Haley, in two separate media interviews, continued to try to clarify her remarks from last week that slavery was not a key issue during the Civil War. “I was overthinking it and I shouldn’t have,” she told Newsmax.
Moreover, in response to a voter’s question in New Hampshire, she also failed again to explicitly rule out accepting a vice presidential slot from Trump if he becomes the GOP.
