When asked about the recent lawsuit filed by Disney against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Haley said during her time as governor she brought down unemployment, built up the economy and partnered with businesses.
Haley told FOX News, “If Disney would like to move their hundreds of thousands of jobs to South Carolina and bring the billions of dollars with them, I’ll let them know I’ll be happy to meet in South Carolina and introduce them to the governor and the legislature that would welcome it.”
Along with the video clip Haley tweeted, “SC’s not woke, but we’re not sanctimonious about it either.”
Haley announced her plans to run for president in 2024 back in February.
