GILBERT, S.C.—Speaking in a barn in the legislative district where she got her political start, Nikki Haley, former UN ambassador and South Carolina governor, said the nation needs to get its fiscal house in order.

“Now I’m going to tell you like I told you when I was your governor. No more whining about it. No more complaining about it. Now we get to work,” she told an appreciative crowd of about 400 people.
