The list focuses on economic and foreign policy issues, with abortion, guns, and immigration also receiving coverage. In an article following her announcement, The New York Times described Haley as a "darling of neoconservatives and a defender of Reagan's continued relevance". Abortion Haley has called for "consensus" on national abortion policy, and indicated she would oppose a full ban on abortion.
