00:00 The upcoming presidential debate faced an unexpected cancellation as former UN ambassador
00:09 Nikki Haley declared her refusal to take the stage unless Donald Trump also participates,
00:16 according to an announcement by ABC News on Tuesday, January 16.
00:20 The former US President Donald Trump has refused to be part of the Republican primary debates,
00:26 arguing there was no point given his large polling lead.
00:30 Speaking about her refusal to take part in the next debate, Haley said, "We have had
00:35 five great debates in this campaign.
00:37 Unfortunately, Donald Trump has struck all of them.
00:41 He has nowhere left to hide.
00:43 The next debate I do will either be with Donald Trump or with Joe Biden.
00:48 I look forward to it."
00:49 The development comes a day after the Iowa cacophony where Trump emerged victorious,
00:54 gaining over 50% votes while Ron DeSantis and Haley occupied the second and third spots
01:00 respectively.
01:02 In the previous debate, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis were the sole participants, with
01:07 Haley falling short of expectations as a result.
01:10 DeSantis successfully turned the tide, clinching victory in Iowa.
01:15 Seizing the moment, the Florida governor once more aimed criticism at Haley, asserting that
01:20 she was avoiding the competition.
01:22 Nikki Haley is afraid to debate because she doesn't want to answer the tough questions
01:27 such as how she got so rich off Boeing after giving them millions in taxpayer handouts
01:33 as governor of South Carolina.
01:36 The reality is that she is not running for the nomination she is running to be Trump's
01:40 vice president.
01:41 "I won't snub New Hampshire voters like both Nikki Haley and Donald Trump and plan to honor
01:47 my own commitments.
01:49 I look forward to debating two empty podiums in the granite state this week," posted DeSantis
01:55 on ex-formerly known as Twitter.
01:57 Furthermore, Haley's choice introduces uncertainty into the upcoming New Hampshire debate, originally
02:04 slated for Sunday, January 21 on CNN.
02:06 "I'm not going to run for the nomination.
02:07 I'm not going to run for the nomination.
02:08 I'm not going to run for the nomination.
02:09 I'm not going to run for the nomination.
02:10 I'm not going to run for the nomination.
