2024 Presidential Hopeful Nikki Haley Calls for “Mental Competency Tests” for Older Politicians

HeadlineFeb 17, 2023

The White House dismissed Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s call for “mental competency tests” for politicians over the age of 75. Haley made the remark in Charleston, South Carolina, Wednesday during her first campaign rally since announcing her 2024 bid. It’s seen as an attack on both 80-year-old Biden and her primary challenger, 76-year-old Donald Trump. Nikki Haley also vowed to crack down on immigration and relegate “communist China [to] the ash heap of history.”
