Nikki Haley and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo dished red meat to the GOP grassroots but faced a tepid response in front of a largely pro-Donald Trump crowd.
"Our greatest threats are here, they're from within," Pompeo added in his own speech shortly after. "We're losing respect for individual freedom."

Both candidates leaned into their backgrounds, with Haley underscoring the historic nature of her bid, noting she is the daughter of Indian immigrants, and Pompeo underscoring his military service in Germany during the Cold War. "We've lost the popular vote int eh last seven out of eight presidential elections. Our cause is right, but we have failed to win the confidence of a majority of Americans," Haley said.
But in a sign of how tough of a climb the two have at winning over a grassroots still largely in line behind Trump, both were met with largely lukewarm responses during pauses seemingly intended for applause.
