- The super PAC supporting Gov. Ron DeSantis‘s (R-FL) presidential campaign, Never Back Down, will highlight former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley’s stance on the issue of transgender youth in a new video ad hours before the fourth Republican National Committee debate in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
- The 60-second video, premiering on digital platforms before the debate, features instances when Haley was asked about children dealing with gender dysphoria. “Let’s get them the help — the therapy, whatever they need so that they can feel better and not be suicidal,” she said of transgender youth in one clip.
- The new video ad comes as DeSantis and other Haley opponents brand her as a “moderate” who is soft on conservative issues, namely social issues such as transgenderism.

Haley has been rising with donors and voters thanks in part to strong debate performances and the campaign's increased focus on foreign policy. That's come partly at the expense of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. But donors and voters seeking an alternative to former President Donald Trump haven't fully coalesced around Haley. (AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill, File)
