"Nikki Haley Targeted in Second Swatting Incident Amid Spike in Threats"

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley was targeted in a second "swatting" attempt on New Year’s Day, just two days after the first incident. The hoaxes occurred in Kiawah Island, South Carolina, and involved false reports to the police about violent situations at Haley's residence. Law enforcement officials are alarmed by the surge in such threats and acts of intimidation against government officials and election administrators. Swatting is seen as a form of harassment and intimidation, and the incidents have raised concerns about the safety of prominent figures involved in the U.S. presidential contest.
