Haley: "He (Trump) can't beat Joe Biden if he's spending all his time and money on court cases and chaos."

Nikki Haley took another swing at Donald Trump over his legal woes Tuesday evening, after the New York Times reported that political committees aligned with the former president spent roughly $50 million to cover his legal bills last year.

“Another reason Donald Trump won’t debate me… His PAC spent 50 MILLION in campaign dollars on his legal fees,” Haley posted on X (formerly Twitter). “He can’t beat Joe Biden if he’s spending all his time and money on court cases and chaos.”

She is still in this and throwing some good punches. She could very well win in SC. Then who knows what could happen from there.

The pending court cases will have impact and who knows what else might happen between now and then.

Haley knows SC politics. She has won before when not expected to.

If she somehow miraculously pulls it off it will throw the GOP nomination process into chaos. If not its still in chaos.

There is tremendous pressure on her. If she doesnt give in I think her attacks on Trump will get even more intense. It could get interesting.

Or does he want all the attention and fund raising without the hard work that comes from winning? Every dollar he raises is winning.

He's been so awful in court. It's hard to imagine him winning these criminal cases. However, he's dso good at dragging out appeals, he might assume he's going to be dead before these come home. It's pretty clear he's paying his court fees by running. It's unclear if he really thinks he will goto jail.
