Hear her entire campaign event speech above.
HALEY SAYS WE NEED A COMPETENCY TEST FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS OVER 75
Presidential candidate and former S.C. Governor, Nikki Haley spoke, calling for an era of younger leaders to take charge in America.
She has used this theme consistently on the campaign trail in 2023.
At 51 years old, Haley represents a younger generation of contenders vying for public office. Another potential candidate, Ron DeSantis is 44.
Do you think Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are too old to govern? At 72 years old, Schumer is the youngest among this generation. Nancy Pelosi is 82 and Joe Biden is 80.
Former President Donald Trump is 76.
However, these aren’t even the oldest among those now serving in the U.S. Congress and Senate. The list can seen as below:

Her campaign stop tonight coincides with the 2nd largest bank failure in U.S. History.
Haley tweeted the below about the SVB bank failure:
Joe Biden is pretending this isn’t a bailout. It is.
