Nikki Haley in Sunday Political Talk Show interviews during 2020-2024
On Budget & Economy:
Resigned from Boeing directorship; opposed government aid
Haley stepped down from Boeing's board of directors because she opposes government aid. "While I know cash is tight, that is equally true for numerous other industries and for millions of small businesses," Haley said in her letter. "I cannot support
a move to lean on the federal government for a stimulus or bailout that prioritizes our company over others and relies on taxpayers to guarantee our financial position. I have long held strong convictions that this is not the role of government."

On Civil Rights:
America not racist, nothing could be further from the truth
Haley criticized what she said was a "self-loathing" taking over the U.S. and dismissed accusations that the country is racist during her campaign launch in Charleston, S.C. "A self-loathing has swept our country. It's in the classroom, the boardroom
and the backrooms of government," Haley said, speaking to supporters. "Every day, we're told America is flawed, rotten and full of hate. Joe [Biden] and Kamala [Harris] even say America is racist. Nothing could be further from the truth."

On Civil Rights:
Transgender women in sports is "women's issue of our time"
Haley said that transgender women participating in women's sports is "the women's issue of our time." She said transgender women--being "glorified" on social media and participating in sports events--were putting cisgender women and girls at risk.
She specifically criticized the prominence of transgender TikTok influencer Dylan Mulvaney, who was recently sponsored by Bud Light.

On Foreign Policy:
Put the sanctions back on Iran; don't renew nuclear deal
So let's go back to what started it. What started it was, first of all, he never should have fallen all over himself to get back into the Iran deal. By doing that, he lifted the sanctions. All the money flowed to all of the terrorist proxies around the
region. And now we're paying the price of that. And so you look at what's happened now, first of all, I think he should have done something sooner. But first, Dana, first and foremost, put the sanctions back on. You have got to put the sanctions back on.

On Immigration:
Nobody should be playing politics with the border
Q: Trump, as you know, is pushing Republican senators to oppose the deal, in part because he wants to run on the issue in 2024 in this election year. HALEY: Well, I think nobody should be playing politics with the border. First of all, he shouldn't
be getting involved telling Republicans that wait until the election because we don't want this to help Biden win. We can't wait one more day. You have millions of people who have come to that border. They are not being vetted.

On Principles & Values:
When government stops listening, states' rights matter
States were very upset about government control. They were very upset about government spending. They were very upset about the fact that they weren't listening to the people. And there had been a movement that Texas had wanted to
secede from the union. And what I said is, when government stops listening, let's remember states' rights matter. You have to be as close to the people as possible. No one is talking about seceding. That's not an issue at all.

On Abortion:
IVF frozen embryos should be protected like babies
Nikki Haley said that frozen embryos created through in-vitro fertilization are "babies," siding with a recent Alabama Supreme Court decision that raised concerns among doctors and patients about the future of the procedure."Embryos, to me, are
babies," Haley told NBC News in an interview, adding that she used artificial insemination to have her son, a different process than IVF that doesn't present the same complexities around creating embryos in a lab. "When you talk about an embryo, you are
talking about, to me, that's a life. And so I do see where that's coming from when they talk about that."
Asked if legislation and rulings like the one in Alabama could have a chilling effect on families using IVF to become parents, Haley said, "This
is one where we need to be incredibly respectful and sensitive about it." Haley added: "Every woman needs to know, with her partner, what she's looking at. And then when you look at that, then you make the decision that's best for your family."
