Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy accused his rival Nikki Haley of leaning into identity politics on Wednesday after the former ambassador to the United Nations suggested that the biotech entrepreneur “may have a girl problem.”
The two have traded blows throughout the campaign, but the dispute escalated to another level after the third debate last week in Miami — in which Ramaswamy called Haley “Dick Cheney in three-inch heels” and criticized his grown daughter for using TikTok. to which Haley responded by calling the 38-year-old “trash.”
During the same debate, Ramaswamy called for RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel to resign and attacked co-debate moderator Kristen Welker.
Haley addressed Ramaswamy’s attack in an interview with the “Cruel” podcast Tuesday.
“He came out of the gate, he hit the party lady’s chair,” the 51-year-old said. “He hit the female anchor on the platform and then he hit me. And I didn’t say anything, but he might have girl problems.”
“Sorry Nikki, having two X chromosomes does not protect you, Ronna McDaniel, or Kristen Welker from criticism. I don’t think Kamala Harris will run so there might be an opening for you in the identity politics party,” Ramaswamy replied to X.

Haley is the only woman in the GOP primary race. She has consciously modeled herself on former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and painted herself as a strong woman who wears heels “for bullets” and speaks out against the “hypocrisy” of feminism in her book, “If You Want Something Done: Leadership Lessons from Women of Courage .”
Being a feminist shouldn’t be about “victimhood,” but about “working hard and proving you deserve to be in the room,” Haley wrote.

She added that she had been treated unfairly at various points in her life because of her skin color and gender, and could have “thrown and played the victim,” but refused to do so.
Ramaswamy, who like Haley is Indian-American, previously criticized the former South Carolina governor for not using her full name, referring to her as “Nimrata Randhawa,” instead of her middle name “Nikki.”
