Will history remember Joe Biden as the “halfway president”? A disastrous exit from Afghanistan stemmed from failure to retain an adequate military presence. Measures to reduce illegal immigration were dismantled without providing substitutes. Aid to Ukraine has proven to be too timid. Foreign policy is inconsistent. Funding of the elite state was promoted without anticipating an inevitable increase in partisan divisiveness, government dependence, inflation and national debt.
America needs leadership that is prepared to reclaim this country’s platform for positively influencing the rest of the world. Despite MAGA voices’ initiative in this direction, Trump’s ego, self-interest, bullying and obsessions cripple the movement.
We deserve a president who embodies all-the-way, dependable leadership absent character flaws. Nikki Haley represents that person. Within a highly coherent policy framework, she brings the demonstrated ability to govern wisely, address global issues realistically and become the president who could heal the U.S. and make it “united” once more.
