On Saturday, Nikki Haley raised concerns about Donald Trump’s mental fitness for a potential return to the presidency.
This comes after Trump repeatedly confused Haley with former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during a campaign speech.
While campaigning in Keene, New Hampshire, Haley referred to Trump’s recent speech where he inaccurately stated that she was in charge of Capitol security on January 6, 2021.
On that day, a mob of Trump supporters breached the Capitol in an attempt to prevent the certification of his election loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
At the age of 77, Trump has made allegations against Pelosi, suggesting that she declined security measures offered by his administration, NPR reported.
However, a specialized House committee tasked with investigating the attack found no evidence to substantiate this particular claim.
“They’re saying he got confused, that he was talking about something else, he’s talking about Nancy Pelosi,” Haley said on Saturday.
“He mentioned me multiple times in that scenario. The concern I have is — I’m not saying anything derogatory — but when you’re dealing with the pressures of the presidency, we can’t have someone else that we question whether they’re mentally fit to do this,” Haley said. “We can’t.”
