Nikki Haley Begins to Look Past Trump

May 31, 2019 at 6:44 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Politico: “Haley is emerging as a fundraiser and surrogate for 2020 Republican Senate candidates, and next month will begin zigzagging across the country to campaign for a trio of GOP senators…. The former South Carolina governor’s summer itinerary includes a June 15 stop in Boone, Iowa, where Haley will help Sen. Joni Ernst launch her reelection campaign at Ernst’s annual Roast ’n Ride event, where Iowans are slated to grill over 2,000 pounds of pork.”

“Given its location in a key presidential caucus state, the event is sure to spark murmurs about Haley’s own political ambitions, including the prospect of a 2024 presidential bid.”

From our partner: Propaganda Posters

Before Tweets, There Were Posters

If you follow politics closely, you know some of the most powerful ideas in history weren’t just argued — they were designed, printed, and plastered on walls.

That’s why I recommend Propaganda Posters, a site that curates and sells some of the most iconic political posters from history. The prints are high quality, richly detailed, and full of bold, vivid color — the kind that immediately draws your eye and holds it.

I’ve been genuinely impressed with how good these posters look in person. They feel substantial, display beautifully, and turn political history into real, conversation-starting art.

If you’re a Political Wire reader who appreciates the power of political messaging, this is a collection worth seeing.
