2024 Presidential Hopeful Nikki Haley Calls for "Mental Competency Tests" for Older Politicians
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The White House dismissed Republican presidential candidate Nikki
Haley's call for "mental competency tests" for politicians over the age
of 75. Haley made the remark in Charleston, South Carolina Wednesday
during her first campaign rally since announcing her 2024 bid. It's seen
as an attack on both 80-year-old Biden and her primary challenger,
76-year-old Donald Trump. Nikki Haley also vowed to crack down on
immigration and relegate, "communist China [to] the ash heap of
history."
