evidence: Nikki Haley tells Bloomberg News "65 is way too low" for the retirement age, advocates attaching it to life expectancy pic.twitter.com/E3yxPl0LIC — Heartland Signal (@HeartlandSignal) August 24, 2023 Haley said the retirement age should be raised to factor in increased life expectancy, but didn’t have an exact figure to share. "I think we have to do the numbers," she said. "We’ve gotta figure out what it is but what we do know is 65 is way too low and we need to increase that. We need to do it according to life expectancy."
