Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley backed an increase in the retirement age that would be tied to life expectancy as a way to counter rising US government debt, a day after her standout performance in the first GOP debate.
“We change retirement age to reflect life expectancy instead of cost of living increases. We do it based on inflation. We limit the benefits on the wealthy, and we expand Medicare Advantage plans,” the former United Nations Ambassador and South Carolina governor said Thursday in an interview with Bloomberg Television.
Her comments follow a stronger-than-expected performance in Wednesday night’s debate, in which Haley landed a number of pointed jabs at her rivals which could prompt donors and voters to take another look at her. Haley has struggled to gain traction and lure donors. She’s polling in fifth place — at just 3.2% — in the Real Clear Political polling average.
