Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley previewed a strategy of how she will likely attack her chief rival, Gov. Ron DeSantis , during Wednesday's third GOP primary debate.

"What you don't need is a president who is against energy independence," Haley says."Ron DeSantis is against fracking. He’s against drilling."The ad then shows clips of DeSantis repeatedly saying he's opposed to off-shore drilling in Florida and preventing Floridian land from being used for oil production. In one scene, DeSantis is asked if he supports a ban on fracking, to which he replies,"Yeah.

DeSantis's campaign pushed back against Haley's video in a statement to the Washington Examiner Tuesday afternoon. Haley's campaign also taunted DeSantis over his decline in national and state polls in recent months in an email to reporters Tuesday. Yet, DeSantis is still in second place at 13.4%, behind former President Donald Trump at 57.9%, according to a RealClearPolitics poll average. Haley comes in third place at 8.9%.
