The Biden campaign went after former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley on Friday, calling her “no moderate” over her stance on abortion rights.

“Nikki Haley is no moderate — she’s an anti-abortion MAGA extremist who wants to rip away women’s freedoms just like she did when she was South Carolina governor,” the campaign said in a statement.

“Now Haley is promising to bring that same fear, anxiety, and dread she forced on South Carolina women to every woman in the country,” they added.

Abortion has been a focus of the 2024 campaign among Democrats and Republicans. GOP candidates have clashed over whether to back a national abortion ban, which Haley has refused to do.

The Biden campaign cited a Daily Signal interview with the former South Carolina governor, where she said she would sign a 6-week national abortion ban if it was passed.

      Biden is a moderate. Anyone much further right than him is not one anymore. The entire GOP aren’t moderates for example.

        The GOP can’t get much more extreme, either. They have actual authoritarians in their party who they accept and give committee assignments. There’s not much further they can go, except to completely drop the “democracy” pretense.
