'There will be a female president': Nikki Haley argues Donald Trump and Joe Biden are too old to be only choices for POTUS on 'Fox & Friends'

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Republican Presidential candidate Nikki Haley elaborated on her belief that a woman would win the 2024 presidential election while speaking with co-host Steve Doocy on the February 19 episode of 'Fox & Friends.'

Haley's take was significantly odd as polls showed her significantly trailing behind current GOP frontrunner and former President Donald Trump ahead of the South Carolina Primary, which is to take place on February 24.

Although incumbent President Joe Biden is the leading Democratic candidate, Haley mentioned Vice President Kamala Harris as a potential opponent who could assume the presidency if she were to lose.

However, it's worth noting that Harris has not announced her candidacy for the presidential race this year.

Nikki Haley claims Trump and Biden cannot be the only choices

"There will be a female President of the United States. It will either be me or it will be Kamala Harris," began Haley while sharing her stance.

She went on to attack her Republican opponent, saying, "Look at any of the general election polls. Trump doesn't beat Biden. But more than that, all he does is bring chaos. I voted for him twice, I was proud to serve America under his administration, but this is the fact."

"We can't have two 80-year-old candidates being our only choices. 70% of Americans have said they don't want a Trump-Biden rematch. 59% of Americans have said Trump's too old and Biden's too old to be President," she claimed.

"Let's put in someone who can spend 8 years disciplined, with no drama, no vendettas, no chaos, and let's get some real things done for our children, our grandchildren, and future generations. That should be our focus."

South Carolina is an open primary

Haley's home state does not have any formal party registrations, shared Doocy, as the former Governor of South Carolina went on to explain, "This is an open primary ... basically it means anybody can vote in the primary, as long as you did not vote in the Democratic primary in February 3 in South Carolina."

"In a general election, you are given a choice (while) in a primary, you make your choice. This is the opportunity we have to make our choice for a new generational conservative leader and to get our country back on track," she added.
