LGBTQ+ rights, abortion & immigration: Trump, Haley's take on big issues before SC primary by COURTNEY ROWLES, EMMA PARKHOUSE, CONNOR INGALLS and ANDREW JAMES | WPDE Staff Fri, February 23rd 2024 at 1:38 PM Updated Fri, February 23rd 2024 at 3:39 PM 22 VIEW ALL PHOTOS FILE - In this Feb. 5, 2020 file photo, The White House is seen in Washington. (Credit: AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta) ... MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WPDE) — The 2024 South Carolina Republican presidential primary is this Saturday, and the eyes of the nation are upon the Palmetto State. Former President Donald Trump and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley will be on the ballot Saturday to become the Republican candidate in the November election. Many key issues matter to voters when selecting their candidate. ABC15 broke down each candidate's stance on some of those important topics: ECONOMY Americans are still battling inflation and the high cost of living in today's economy, and many are wondering – what will happen next? Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links Ruby Franke, Jodi Hildebrandt to be sentenced Undo NIKKI HALEY Nikki Haley unveiled her economic proposal pretty early on in her campaign back in September. Her main focus is on reviving the middle class. The plan includes cutting taxes for the middle class, tackling inflation, and reducing federal government control. Haley has called out Democrats and Republicans alike for "reckless federal spending" when talking about the trillions of dollars of growing U.S. debt. Haley has an accounting degree from Clemson University, and she touts having that financial background as making her the best candidate to improve the nation's economic status, and for voters to put her in the White House. DONALD TRUMP Former President Donald Trump comes from a business background , but he's found himself in somewhat of a strange place when it comes to finances amid multiple personal pending cases of fraud -- some he's already paid millions for, and hundreds of millions of dollars and his longtime New York business empire are all on the line. Most recently, Trump was ordered by a New York judge to pay $355 million for fraudulently inflating the value of his properties. When it comes to holding office, Trump has yet to be specific about how he'd handle the current looming economy. What we do know is he's stated he would mainly focus plans on trades and taxes. He has proposed increasing taxes on most imported goods to up to 10% and tightening restraints on Chinese products. This includes a four-year plan to phase out all Chinese imports of essential goods, which he believes would create more American jobs and manufacturing. However, some economic strategists said that would ultimately raise the price of goods, and the increase would mostly hurt lower- to middle-class American consumers. The Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 that Trump passed in his first administration cut a lot of taxes for corporations, and if it's made permanent, it could add $3.5 trillion to the national debt.

(AP Photo/Seth Wenig) ABORTION Abortion and women's reproductive health care is a major issue on voters' minds in the 2024 election season, and it's an issue that Republican candidates, Nikki Haley and Donald Trump, have different views on. NIKKI HALEY Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley brands herself as a conservative Republican candidate, but on the issues of Roe V. Wade, abortions, and women's reproductive health care, she lands somewhere in the middle. While speaking at a campaign stop in October, Haley said she is "unapologetically pro-life," not because of her party affiliation, but because her husband was adopted, and she was candid about her struggle trying to conceive her two children. She called her immediate family members "blessings," but notes she does not judge anyone who is pro-choice, just as she said she does not want others to judge those who are pro-life. "This issue is personal for every woman and every man, and it needs to be treated that way," Haley said. Haley said she recognizes and welcomes different states opting to enforce more pro-life regulations, and others, instating more pro-choice guidelines. "I wish it wasn't the case, but people decided. So, I respect that," she added. Overall, Haley said Americans need to stop "dehumanizing the issue," and believes there is room for a federal law on abortion and women's healthcare, but only if there is consensus and a middle ground. "Can't we all agree that we don't want late-term abortions? Can't we all agree that we should encourage adoptions and good quality adoptions? Can't we all agree that doctors and nurses who don't believe in abortion shouldn't have to perform them? Can't we all agree that contraception should be accessible? And can't we all agree that no state law should tell a woman who's had an abortion that she's going to go to jail or get the death penalty? Let's start there," said Haley. DONALD TRUMP During his presidency, Trump paved the way for the eventual overturning of Roe V. Wade by the United States Supreme Court in June 2022. For the most part, Trump has avoided stating his view on the issue since the overturning of the landmark case and has declined to comment on whether or not he thinks there should be a federal ban. He has gone on record saying some Republicans "speak very inarticulately" when it comes to abortion, and states have pursued "terrible restrictions." Trump has warned Republicans that the party could lose voters if they advance abortion restrictions without having exceptions for cases of rape, incest, or risks to the mother's life. Previously, Trump had not been crystal clear on his official stance and said if he were to be re-elected, he would sit down with both sides to find a bi-partisan negotiation to bring peace to the issue. LGBTQIA+ rights NIKKI HALEY Starting with transgender rights, Haley has said trans women competing in girls' sports is the "Women's issue of our time." Haley cited a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report, which referenced 30% of U.S. female high school students who said they seriously considered attempting suicide and linked that data back to trans sports participation. However, the study did not state the reason behind the 30% of recorded responses. For adults, Haley has also said if an adult, someone age 18 or older, wants to transition, they're welcome to do that, but does not support gender-affirming care for anyone under 18. She also doesn't think anything about the issue should be talked about, or taught, in U.S. public schools. DONALD TRUMP Donald Trump has a similar view to Haley on the issue and has been openly vocal against transgender rights. Trump has repeatedly said, "I will keep men out of women's sports," and said he would sign laws stopping gender-affirming care for minors across the United States. He's even referred to it as "mutilation." He has also talked about restoring a federal ban prohibiting openly transgender people from serving in the military, which is something his previous administration imposed. POLITICIAN AGE LIMITS Do you believe there should be an age limit or age cap on elected U.S. officials holding positions in office? NIKKI HALEY Haley does. Haley is 52 years old. This means she's nearly 30 years younger than incumbent President Joe Biden who is 81 , and 77-year-old Trump. Aside from many of her paid campaign ads talking about the nation wanting to avoid another 2020 Biden-Trump match-up, Haley is standing on the fact that she's a much younger option for office and said America needs younger leadership. ABC News reported some more specific comments she's made about it along the campaign trail, like calling the U.S. Congress a "nursing home," and although his administration has disputed the comments, Haley believes Biden wouldn't be able to finish a second term if he's re-elected. Haley has also suggested requiring mental competency tests for all politicians over the age of 75, which would directly apply to her opponent Donald Trump. However, she also said she wouldn't mind those tests applying to those 50 and older – which would include herself. DONALD TRUMP In September, Donald Trump was asked about his view on U.S. politician age caps and mental competency tests. While he did seemingly express support for having mental competency tests for older politicians, he also commented on the practicality of implementing them. CNN reported Trump said a lot of people think the tests would be unconstitutional. As far as having an age cap, Trump has mainly commented on how that would apply to the president and said there shouldn't be one. He said some of the "greatest world leaders have been in their 80s." ISRAEL WAR NIKKI HALEY Haley has pushed back against calls for a ceasefire in the war, saying the "best way to save people in Gaza is to eliminate Hamas." DONALD TRUMP Concerning the war between Israel and Hamas, Trump has said on his social media platform, Truth Social, that he stands with Israel and its prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, although he has also said Netanyahu "let us down" in the past while talking about the prime minister since the attacks on October 7. FILE - Israeli troops take positions in the Gaza Strip as seen from southern Israel, Thursday, Dec. 21, 2023.

(AP Photo/Ohad Zwigenberg, File) IMMIGRATION NIKKI HALEY Haley said she wants to "close" the border, defund "sanctuary cities," and deport millions of unauthorized immigrants who have made their way into the country under the Biden Administration. DONALD TRUMP Concerning immigration, Trump has promised to revive many of his first-term border policies, including banning entry from certain Muslim-majority nations and refusing asylum claims, while making plans to deport millions of unauthorized immigrants. JANUARY 6 NIKKI HALEY Nikki Haley has a very different stance regarding the day, saying "I think what happened on January 6 was a terrible day , and I think President Trump will have to answer for it." DONALD TRUMP Concerning January 6, Trump has vowed to pardon Capitol rioters on his first day in office, while posting comments on Truth Social, such as, "LET THE JANUARY 6 PRISONERS GO," and "The cops should be charged and the protesters should be freed." CLIMATE CHANGE NIKKI HALEY Nikki Haley recognizes global warming as a scientific fact. However, she pushes for less EPA regulation and the reopening of major pipeline and drilling projects. DONALD TRUMP While Donald Trump views climate change as a hoax, he has said renewable energy ventures are a scam business and vows to overhaul electric vehicle incentives passed under the Biden Administration. FILE - A man talks on his phone as he looks through the haze at the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee, N.J., June 7, 2023. As smoky as the summer has been so far, scientists say it will likely be worse in future years because of climate change. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig, File) UKRAINE NIKKI HALEY Haley supports Ukraine in the war but questions American dollars going to support the country without oversight. She said supporting Ukraine means defending NATO and preventing a potential Russian invasion further into Europe. DONALD TRUMP Trump has been outspoken against the war but has never sided with Ukraine or Russia, however, he said he would end the war if elected. He is against more financial aid flowing from the U.S. to Ukraine. A local resident looks at his home, damaged by a Russian rocket attack in Sloviansk, Donetsk region, Ukraine, Friday, Apr. 14, 2023. The death toll from Russian missile strikes on eastern Ukraine's city of Sloviansk rose to 11 Saturday as rescue crews tried to reach people trapped in the rubble of an apartment building, Ukrainian authorities said. (Roman Chop via AP) CHINA NIKKI HALEY Branding herself as a “China hawk," Haley launched her campaign pledging to be tough on China; however, she has faced attacks for her business record with China when, as governor, she welcomed major Chinese investments into South Carolina. Her stance is that China won't “threaten or intimidate' the U.S. Haley called Trump's plan for a heavier tariff on China “ludicrous.” DONALD TRUMP BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT Trump increased support for Taiwan against China under his presidency, but he has since personally pushed for more competition between the US and Taiwan's semiconductor industry. Trump also levied more tariffs on Chinese imports, which remain mostly in place today. He has pledged to increase the tariffs.
