Haley takes the mic and lavishes praise on @DonBolduc, highlighting his military service. "Ten tours in Afghanistan? I know how hard it is on our family when my husband did one."

First applause line for @NikkiHaley: "I'm not a lawyer I'm an accountant." She's recounting her bio, from Bamberg, S.C. to Clemson to the state house.

Second issue: illegal immigration and e-verify.

"The idea that Americans would look up in the sky and see a Chinese spy balloon is nothing more than a massive national embarrassment." -- @NikkiHaley in Exeter, NH Thursday night.

"Biden was quick to talk about 'wear your mask,' if you turned it over it said 'Made in China.' Biden was quick to say 'get a test.' You turned it over, it was 'Made in China.' If we have another health crisis, the medicine will come through China."
Are we crazy?" -- @NikkiHaley

Big support for parental control of education and rolling back federal spending from @NikkiHaley, but biggest applause so for is for "unleashing our energy sector." A sore spot in New Hampshire in the winter -- this winter in particular.

"The fabric of America is legal immigration. Our county is good to legal immigrants. But we don't wave a flag and say 'Come!' When we bring people over, let's do it on merit. And e-verify needs to be the law of the land." -- @NikkiHaley

"They should no longer be able to buy any land in America -- period." -- @NikkiHaley on China/CCP.
Adds that colleges that take Chinese money should lose federal funding.

"America is not a racist country -- it's not. We live in the best country in the world. Is America perfect? No. But the principles our country is built on are perfect." -- @NikkiHaley Points out she's was the first minority woman elected Gov in US.
