"Haley and DeSantis Clash Over Israel and Global Influence"

Nikki Haley is gaining momentum as a potential GOP presidential candidate, threatening to surpass Ron DeSantis as the main alternative to Donald Trump. The two candidates have clashed over their positions on U.S. policy in the Middle East and the handling of refugees. While DeSantis initially had an advantage, Haley's support has been rising, putting them in a contentious battle for second place. Both candidates are trailing Trump by a significant margin in the polls, but their teams see a narrowing of the field as crucial to defeating Trump. Other candidates like Mike Pence and Tim Scott are struggling, leading some Republicans to envision a three-person race between Trump, Haley, and DeSantis.
