FIRST ON FOX: <\/strong>Former U.N. Ambassador and presidential candidate Nikki Haley<\/a> is poking fun at former President Donald Trump in a new effort to entice a debate between the two ahead of the South Carolina Republican primary later this month.<\/p>\n

Her campaign announced on Wednesday the launch of a new digital ad<\/a> \u2014 part of a previously announced $4 million ad buy \u2014 seeking to highlight the differences between the two candidates and their presences before audiences discussing important policy issues.<\/p>\n

The ad, titled, “Exclusive Footage of the Haley-Trump Debate,” includes clips of Haley’s debate performances in recent months, as well as scenes from some of Trump’s various campaign speeches, shining light on the fact that the former president has yet to participate in a debate this election cycle.<\/p>\n

The ad will also direct people who want to see a debate between the two candidates to sign a petition.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s not surprising that Donald Trump refuses to debate Nikki Haley. He knows he\u2019s not the candidate he used to be and that Nikki would mop the floor with him,” Haley campaign spokesperson Olivia Perez-Cubas told Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He can\u2019t hide behind a teleprompter and lie about her record in a debate, but that\u2019s no excuse: the people of South Carolina deserve to hear from the candidates side-by-side,” she added.<\/p>\n

The ad comes after Trump challenged President Biden<\/a> to an “immediate” debate during a Monday radio appearance.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019d like to debate him now because we should debate. We should debate for the good of the country,” Trump said.<\/p>\n

Biden was asked about Trump’s comments later that day while campaigning in Nevada.<\/p>\n

“Immediately? Well, if I were him, I\u2019d want to debate me too. He\u2019s got nothing else to do,” he told reporters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump and Haley are set to go head-to-head in her home state of South Carolina<\/a> for its primary on Feb. 24. So far, polling shows Trump with a double-digit advantage.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to Trump’s campaign for comment.<\/p>\n
