Nikki Haley (nonfiction)

"To be a Republican candidate in this generation, one must court white nationalists and racists who subscribe to the replacement theory and the belief that people of color are contaminating the blood of whites. This rhetoric is what secures victories within the Republican Party in the age of Trump, and Nikki Haley is appealing to the same audience." —Daniel Kawuma
