Former presidential candidate Nikki Haley, who is an Indian-American, has recently announced that she will be casting her vote for her previous opponent and former boss, Donald Trump, in the upcoming US election in November. This comes after her silence on the matter since she exited the Republican presidential primary more than two months ago. However, Haley clarified that she is not officially endorsing Trump.
During her appearance at the Hudson Institute, a renowned conservative think-tank, Haley stated, "I will be voting for Trump," in response to a question about her stance on the election. She further explained that as a voter, she prioritizes a president who supports allies, holds enemies accountable, secures borders, promotes capitalism and freedom, and reduces national debt. While Trump may not have been perfect in these areas, Haley believes that his opponent, Joe Biden, has been a disaster.
Haley, who previously served as Trump's United Nations ambassador, was the last major contender to drop out of the Republican primary race in early March. She expressed gratitude towards the primary voters who continued to support her even after she withdrew from the race, which could be a warning sign for Trump. She also urged him to reach out to her supporters and not assume that they will automatically support him. "Trump would be wise to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me," Haley said.
Although Haley's candidacy is no longer active, she has been gaining support, especially from anti-Trump Republican voters. However, she did not call on her supporters to vote for Trump, stating, "I stand by what I said in my suspension speech." There is now speculation on whether Haley will mend ties with Trump and endorse him.
In her speech, Haley criticized Biden's foreign policy, stating that it has led to China, Russia, and Iran growing stronger. She also mentioned the recent fall of Afghanistan and its impact on North Korea, China, and Russia. She alleged that Biden's actions have given Iran the opportunity to strengthen their terrorist proxies and get closer to obtaining a nuclear bomb.
Biden's campaign officials responded to Haley's remarks, stating that they will not sway the anti-Trump moderates and independents who reject Trump's violence and division. They believe that only Biden shares the values of these voters and that the campaign is working hard to earn their support.
The Biden campaign has been reaching out to high-profile Republicans and Haley's supporters, and they have plans to establish a grass-roots group with dedicated staff to organize Republican voters in key battlegrounds. Haley's speech has sparked discussions about her potential endorsement of Trump and how it could impact the election.
