Trump will be the Republican presidential nominee at next week’s RNC in Milwaukee, and former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley released all of her delegates on Tuesday, urging them to back him.
According to Haley, Republicans should come together during the nominating convention. Joe Biden is unfit to continue serving as vice president, and the United States would suffer greatly under the leadership of Kamala Harris. A president who will punish our enemies, fortify our borders, reduce our national debt, and revive our economy is what we need. Next week in Milwaukee, I urge my delegates to back Donald Trump.
Unfortunately, the convention did not extend an invitation to Haley, despite her being the sole female candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.
Haley “was not invited, and she’s fine with that,” says her publicist Chaney Denton. The convention that Trump desires is rightfully his. She has expressed her intention to vote for him and has best wishes for him.
In the Republican primaries of 2024, Haley—who was Trump’s only real opponent—won 97 delegates from 12 states.
Trump and the GOP runner-up reached their last compromise when Haley decided to relinquish all of her delegates. Haley urged Trump to “earn the votes of those in our party and beyond who did not support him” after she withdrew from the race in March. However, Trump made zero overtures to Haley or her supporters.
Despite her decision to withdraw from the 2024 race, she received tremendous support from voters in the state primaries. Haley received 22 percent of the votes cast in the open GOP primary in Indiana in the weeks following her withdrawal. In the Philadelphia suburbs and counties, she garnered 20–25 percent of the vote in April. Other places also saw similar tendencies.
Though they chose not to reply, Trump’s campaign did reference the former president’s remarks regarding Haley made following a New York rally.
A lot of our ideas and beliefs are similar, so I think she’ll be a great addition to our team,” Trump told News 12 New York. Her words were meaningful to me. It was a really ugly campaign, you know. However, she is an exceptionally competent individual, and I am certain that she will undoubtedly play a role on our squad.
Haley, who is presently the Walter P. Stern chair of the conservative Hudson Institute, stated during a speech that she would favor a president that defended America’s allies, protected the border, advocated for “capitalism and freedom,” and reduced the national debt. Even if Trump “has not been perfect,” Haley still plans to support him on election day.
When it comes to these issues, Trump has made some mistakes. This is something I’ve said ad nauseam,” Haley continued. However, Biden’s presidency has been disastrous.
Then I will cast my ballot for Trump. Having stated that, Haley reiterated her stance from her suspension address.
According to Haley’s June interview with the Wall Street Journal, she contacted Trump following her announcement of her vote for him and had a “good conversation,” but she denied that any talk of a potential role on the campaign or at the forthcoming convention occurred. Haley was the first ambassador of the Trump administration to the UN.
