GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley said it’s a “mistake” that the Republican Party has, in her words, ignored Gen Z voters.

During a Feb. 18 Fox News town hall in her home state of South Carolina ahead of the state’s Feb. 24 primary, in response to a question about why the GOP has ignored Gen Z voters and what she would do to hear their voices, Ms. Haley said “it’s a mistake” for her party to not appeal to that demographic.
