Amid the backdrop of the US presidential election, a heated verbal exchange has escalated among Republican leaders, particularly involving former President Donald Trump. Trump recently made unsubstantiated claims about Nikki Haley eligibility for the presidency due to her Indian heritage, alleging that her parents were not US citizens at the time of her birth in 1972.
The Gateway Pundit, a right-wing website, echoed these claims on Truth social, asserting that Haley is disqualified according to the 12th Amendment. Despite these allegations, numerous social media users joined the discourse. In response, Haley clarified in her 2012 autobiography that her parents, born in the Punjab region of India, became US citizens in 1978, six years after her birth.
Constitutional experts argue that Haley is a legal candidate, emphasizing her birth in Bamberg, making her a US citizen. Amid the controversy, Haley is gaining momentum in the polls, posing a formidable challenge to Trump. With 29% support compared to Trump’s 33%, the margin between them is a mere 4%. Despite initial underestimation, Haley’s aggressive campaign is resonating with voters, positioning her as a strong contender against Trump among traditional voters.
In @NikkiHaley ’s situation, reports indicate that her parents were not U.S. citizens at the time of her birth in 1972. Based on the Constitution as interpreted by @PaulIngrassia, this disqualifies Haley from presidential or vice-presidential candidacy under the 12th Amendment. pic.twitter.com/6zl2gFizNN
