In the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the inclusion of Donald Trump has stirred controversy with his comments about his rival Nikki Haley. Although Trump had only shared a post claiming inaccuracies about Haley's birthdate, it has sparked a heated debate. Supporters of Nikki Haley, Trump's opponent in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, are expressing strong displeasure over Trump's claims.
A comment made by Donald Trump regarding Nikki Haley, his opponent in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, has created a stir. Trump shared a post making false claims about Haley's birthdate, suggesting her disqualification for the presidency or vice presidency. This move by Trump has generated considerable controversy.
Indian-American Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, who is participating in the presidential race as a Republican candidate against Donald Trump, criticized Trump for alleged "birth-related" claims against Nikki Haley.
It is worth noting that Trump reposted an article from the news website 'The Gateway Pundit' last week, claiming that Haley is ineligible for the presidency or vice presidency because her parents were not U.S. citizens at the time of her birth in 1972. Nikki Haley, born in the United States, became a U.S. citizen due to her birth in the country.
Congressman Krishnamoorthi, a Democrat, stated in a press release on Thursday, "It is no surprise that Donald Trump has returned with more false and divisive 'birth' claims. As a proud Indian-American, I consider these attacks against Nikki Haley, a distinguished Indian-American, to be reprehensible."
Krishnamoorthi also stated, "As someone who supports the South Asian community, every Republican claiming to support this community should condemn this comment. The U.S. Constitution requires a presidential candidate to be at least 35 years old, a 'natural-born' citizen, and a resident of the U.S. for 14 years. Earlier, Trump raised questions about the birth of former President Barack Obama and current Vice President Kamala Harris, calling for an end to citizenship acquired through birth."
