After speaking to a group at the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C., former presidential candidate Nikki Haley said she will vote for Donald Trump for president.
The former U.N. Ambassador for Trump and former South Carolina governor dropped from the GOP presidential slate after Super Tuesday in March, having run a campaign that was highly critical of Trump.
But on Wednesday, she said that even though Trump “has not been perfect on these policies [holding enemies to account and securing the border], I’ve made that clear many, many times,” President Joe Biden “has been a catastrophe.
“Trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me, and not assume that they’re just going to be with him. And I genuinely hope he does that,” she said.
Many Haley supporters are moderate Republicans or “never-Trumpers.”
