Nikki Haley is 'throwing up a red flag' over Trump's flailing campaign: MSNBC analyst
A revelation that Donald Trump and his campaign have yet to reach out to former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) for help with women voters stunned the co-hosts of MSNBC's Morning Joe who agreed it should alarm the Republican Party leadership.
Appearing on Fox News on Tuesday, the runner-up to the GOP presidential nomination trashed the "bro-culture" on display at the Trump Madison Square Garden rally that has sent the former president's re-election bid into doubt.
As "Morning Joe" contributor Katty Kay put it, "The way she pushed back says this isn't a joke, people feel very sensitive about this and this matters to them."

"Imagine if someone called your state or your hometown or your country and denigrated the way it was," she continued. "I think the point she made saying this went too far, all they needed to do was apologize and say women are not liking what they are hearing; they're not liking this hyper-masculinity. Donald Trump is re-posting things on Truth Social saying manhood is under attack. Manhood is not under attack."
"I have not met one alpha male who doesn't want to take care of his wife and daughters every way possible and wants every bit of health care available to them. I don't know of one," co-host Mika Brzezinski interjected.
That led co-host Willie Geist to contribute, "I would submit that the Republican leaders who scurry behind Donald Trump calling themselves alpha, that is a definition of beta doing whatever you're told by another guy."
He then added, "Katty is so right. Nikki Haley said Donald Trump has not called me since June –– sort of like throwing up a red flag and saying, it's actually political malpractice. It's actually insane in races in some of these states that might be decided in four digits with thousands of votes not to court Nikki Haley's voters. But his ego is such that he can't bring himself to that."
