Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley emerges as a front-runner in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, currently in second place in Iowa and first place in New Hampshire caucuses. However, former President Donald Trump remains the overall frontrunner among Republican candidates. Haley's campaign has gained ground, attracting attacks from Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy, who have tried to copy Trump's style but have been unsuccessful. Haley's support base among the Indian American community is growing, while Ramaswamy's initial interest is waning.
