Narrative:
Taxi to runway without issue. After cleared for takeoff; I (captain) applied flex power and aircraft began to drift toward left side of runway. Attempting to correct back to centerline while airspeed increasing using rudder only the aircraft's nosewheel began to skid and continued toward left side of runway. I then applied max brakes and max thrust reversers to avoid departing the runway. The aircraft came to a stop on the runway and was able to use nosewheel steering to taxi clear of the runway. Max speed attained was approximately 30 knots. Left wheel brakes peek temp after abort was 65 C and max temp on right brakes reached 110 C. At this point; not sure if both engines spooled eventually since my mindset was focused on departure turn to avoid restricted area.
