With Nikki Haley moving up in the polls, many have asked whether there is any difference between Nikki and the Donald. In the past, Nikki has definitely said that there is no difference, no daylight between her opinions and those of the Donald. Yet, there are IMO some major differences between Nikki Haley and TFG in terms of political views and style. Here are some examples:

- Haley has directly criticized Trump for his involvement in the US Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, and said he has no future in the GOP⁶. She also said that Trump's actions since Election Day "will be judged harshly by history" and that he "let us down" as a party and a country⁶.

- Haley has slammed Trump for his recent comments on Hezbollah, a militant group that is designated as a terrorist organization by the US and many other countries⁵. She said that Trump's praise for Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah was "a betrayal of our ally Israel and a gift to our enemy Iran"⁵. She also said that Trump's remarks showed that he has lost sight of who America's friends and enemies are⁵.

- Haley has a more conventional Republican message than Trump, who has often deviated from the party's orthodoxy on issues such as trade, immigration, foreign policy, and social issues⁴. Haley has emphasized her conservative credentials on fiscal responsibility, national security, pro-life, and pro-Israel stances⁴. She has also tried to appeal to a broader base of voters, including women, minorities, and moderates⁴.

These are just some of the differences between Nikki Haley and Donald Trump, so yes there is a difference and a point to be made when voting for one versus the other.
