Nikki Haley is trying out a new message in her bid for the presidency, as she tries to cut down Donald Trump's lead in the upcoming primary in her home state of South Carolina, CBS News has learned.
The theme of the new campaign, which launches Thursday, is "A Great Day in South Carolina.'' It highlights Haley's record as governor from 2011 to 2017 while also redoubling efforts to "combat Donald Trump's lies." The details of the new campaign were first obtained by CBS News.
"After defying predictions in New Hampshire, Haley will spend the next 23 days campaigning across the Palmetto State, reminding voters about her record of taking on the establishment and fighting for taxpayers over the political class," Haley spokesperson Brittany Yanick told CBS News. "Good luck to Donald Trump if he tries to lie about Nikki's record. South Carolinians aren't buying it because it's a great day in South Carolina."
