Nikki Haley, the first and only woman in the 2024 presidential race, knows there's still a long way to go until election day.
"This is a marathon, it’s not a sprint. I’m not concerned with where things are now. I’m concerned about touching as many voters as we can and watching that go," the candidate told USA Today on Thursday. "It’s slow and steady wins the race."
The former ambassador to the United Nations, 51, has kept her pace since launching her campaign earlier this year.
The outlet said her campaign has hosted nearly 20 grassroots events in New Hampshire and more than 20 in Iowa.
In the Granite State, Haley also said she was unconcerned regarding polling performance there, pointing to former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s lead in Iowa. He led the field there in summer 2015 but dropped out before the state’s caucuses after support for him fell.
The former South Carolina governor is running on a multitude of issues, including some her fellow Republican contenders have been hammering as well.
