In this episode, Kim and I discuss the factors that make Nikki Haley a strong candidate for President. We highlight her policy positions and how they align with the needs and concerns of American citizens today. We delve into how Nikki Haley’s leadership experience as a former governor and UN Ambassador can shape her presidential campaign. We also discuss how hateful and divisive rhetoric impacts young people’s well-being and underscore why America needs a leader with compassion.

“I want America to have a president we can be proud of—one that has compassion; that knows what she's doing; that will stand up to our enemies and not cower; one that has walked the walk and talked the talk.” - Kim Rice
