Former President Donald Trump’s war of words with Nikki Haley, as both seek the Republican presidential nomination, has included threats toward her donors and accusing the former U.N. ambassador and South Carolina governor of being an “establishment candidate.”
Haley has responded in kind, challenging him to face her directly in debate and citing occasions during which Trump has made “confused” comments.
In a new attempt to embarrass his opponent, Trump told followers on Truth Social this week that Haley had not even managed to get her name in one of the upcoming state GOP primary contests.
The Claim
A post on Truth Social by Donald Trump, on January 31, 2024, said: “Nikki Haley is not on the Ballot in Indiana because she didn’t get enough Petition Signatures—She missed the deadline! If she’s not on in Indiana, she’s not a serious Candidate. ‘You can’t miss Indiana, and say you’re running for President,’ said future Senator of Indiana, Jim Banks.”
The Facts
Haley has not missed the deadline for the Indiana Republican presidential primary.
According to the Indiana Election Division, the deadline for submitting petition signatures to county voter registration officials for certifications was on Wednesday, with a further deadline of February 9 to submit declaration of candidacy.
“In Indiana, the deadline for May 2024 presidential primary election candidates to submit nomination petition [signature] forms to county clerk and voter registration offices was January 30th at noon, a spokesperson for the Indiana Secretary of State told Newsweek.
“On submission of petition forms, clerks and voter registration offices proceed to verify the voter registration status of petitioners and certify the forms for submission to the Indiana Election Division with a candidate’s formal declaration of candidacy by the filing deadline, which is Friday, February 9th at noon, Eastern Standard time.”
A spokesperson for Haley’s campaign referred to the post on X and told Newsweek that the petitions had been submitted.
“We’ll be on the ballot,” Haley’s spokesperson said. “We turned in more than double all the signatures required and they are being verified now as part of the process before the filing deadline on February 9.”
Haley appeared to address Trump’s claim on X, formerly Twitter, where she wrote: “Looks like Donald Trump is confused again… Another reason why he’s too afraid to debate me.”
Newsweek has contacted media representatives for Donald Trump via email for comment.
Haley, the last remaining major primary challenger to the ex-president, told Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum this week that Republicans would lose November’s election to President Joe Biden “if Donald Trump is the nominee” while insisting that she only has “to be competitive” to remain a candidate.
After MacCallum pointed out that “Trump is leading by a lot” in primary polls of key swing states, Haley argued that the former president “can’t win” independent voters, suburban women and “a lot of other Republicans.”
The Ruling
False.
Haley has not missed the deadline for the Indiana primary as Trump claimed. While there was a deadline to submit petitions for the Republican presidential primary on January 30, Haley’s campaign confirmed it had been met. Haley responded to Trump on social media, saying he was “confused.”

Conference play in women’s college basketball gets started in earnest this month and on Sunday afternoon, the 11-4 Indiana Hoosiers visit the No. 23 Iowa Hawkeyes (12-4) for a Big Ten matchup at 3pm ET on Peacock.
Indiana has just one conference loss this season — they fell to No. 1 UCLA 73-62 on Saturday, January 4th. But they bounced back with a 68-64 win over Northwestern their last time out to improve to 3-1 in the Big Ten. It was the program’s 900th win all-time, but it was also a hard-fought win against a Wildcats team that isn’t a barnburner in the conference (Northwestern is 7-9 overall, 0-5 Big Ten).
“Winning is hard,” Indiana head coach Teri Moren said after the Northwestern victory. “It’s hard at home, it’s hard on the road, and our margin of error is really small, and so, we’ve got to be much better, but we’re happy that we’re going to get out of here with the win tonight.”
For Iowa, there’s been plenty of questions and plenty of scrutiny in the post-Caitlin Clark, post-Lisa Bluder era. The Hawkeyes have kept the momentum going with their devoted fanbase: Iowa has sold out women’s basketball season tickets for the second straight season, and the team has played in front of 28 consecutive sellout crowds, the longest streak nationwide.
The Hawkeyes started off the season 8-0, but have struggled more recently, going 4-4 in their last eight games. Longtime Iowa assistant Jan Jensen took over the head coaching role from Bluder, and senior guard Lucy Olsen, a transfer from Villanova, has helped to fill the void left by Clark on the court. Olsen leads the team in scoring with 17.0 points per game, and junior forward Hannah Stuelke leads the team with 8.0 rebounds per game.

FOX59/CBS4 has requested a mugshot of Victoria Howard, which has not been provided as of this article’s publication. The mugshot will be added once it is released.
FLOYD COUNTY, Ind. — Authorities have arrested a woman accused of helping a man flee from authorities after he allegedly shot an Orange County Sheriff’s deputy.
Indiana State Police announced the arrest of 35-year-old Victoria Howard of New Albany, alleging that she assisted Austin Schepers after he reportedly shot Deputy Zac Andry on Jan. 3 in Orange Count.
ISP said the incident occurred after Deputy Andry stopped to check on a disabled silver 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix near US Highway 150 and State Road 56. During this interaction, Schepers allegedly shot the deputy several times. Previous reports indicate Andry was transported to a Louisville-based hospital in “critical but stable condition.”
Schepers allegedly fled to a residence located in the 1800 block of Market Street in New Albany after the shooting.
Detectives believe Howard was aware that Scheper was wanted for his alleged role in the encounter and that police were searching for him.
ISP accused Howard of utilizing the ride-sharing app Lyft to assist Schepers as he looked for a ride from her apartment to the area of Craig Street and Wheeler Avenue in Louisville.
Schepers was found on Jan. 4 by investigators in the 3700 block of Wheeler Avenue where he was eventually killed during a shootout with police.
ISP said Howard was arrested without incident on Jan. 9 in Clarksville and taken to the Floyd County Jail where she was preliminarily charged with assisting a criminal (level 5 felony) and false informing (Class A misdemeanor).
ISP added that more individuals could face additional charges for allegedly helping Schepers while law enforcement was searching for him.
