Fox News primetime star Laura Ingraham on Wednesday called on all 2024 GOP presidential contenders not named Donald Trump to drop out of the race after his historic Iowa caucus victory on Monday.
During a segment on “The Ingraham Angle,” the host argued that Trump’s resounding triumph in the Iowa caucuses was a “watershed moment for the Republican Party.”
“After what we witnessed in Iowa, it’s time for everyone to start living in the real world. Now, Donald Trump won the caucuses by historic margins — sorry, Joe Scarborough. Now, despite being far outspent in advertising, despite the media onslaught against him, despite being indicted four times and having to split time between courtrooms and the campaign trail, he did it. And at 77 years old, he is the energizer candidate,” Ingraham began.
“After giving his victory speech, he left Des Moines around 11 P.M. Central Time, flew back to New York, and then was in court again today. And then, he flew to New Hampshire to do the event that you just saw. Now, look, unless something unthinkable happens, Donald Trump is going to be the nominee of the Republican Party,” she added.
“And the party is more unified now behind him and his policies than at any time since the Reagan years or maybe, maybe right after 9/11. Now, this is not spin. It’s the truth. If beating Joe Biden is really their goal, then it’s time for some serious soul-searching by Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis,” she said, going on to praise the Florida governor as working hard and having another three years to build his resume for a 2028 run since he’s still young.
But she had harsh words for Haley.
“And as for Nikki Haley, well, my advice is this: Stop listening to your high-priced campaign consultants who are telling you what they think you want to hear. Now, I know these people and I’m telling you, they fly around on their private planes, on the money that they make from these candidates, and they tell their clients to repeat silly lines,” she said.
