Former presidential candidate Nikki Haley has broken her silence regarding the upcoming election. In a surprising move, she officially declared her support for presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump, revealing that she will cast her vote for him in November.
Haley, who previously refrained from disclosing her preference, made the announcement during a speech at the Hudson Institute. The former UN ambassador emphasized that her decision aligns with her suspension speech, where she called on Trump to engage with the millions of voters who supported her during her own campaign.

During her address, Haley outlined her reasons for backing Trump. She highlighted the importance of securing the border, supporting American allies, reducing the national debt, and promoting “capitalism and freedom.” While acknowledging that Trump hasn’t been perfect on these policies, she firmly stated, “Biden has been a catastrophe.”
Despite dropping out of the 2024 race shortly after Super Tuesday, Haley continues to garner significant support in primary elections. In Indiana, she captured nearly 22% of the vote, and in Pennsylvania, she received over 16%.

Interestingly, the Trump campaign has not actively courted Haley voters, despite their substantial numbers. Campaign officials have focused on polls indicating that the former president would defeat incumbent President Biden. A representative from the Republican National Committee expressed confidence in winning back Haley supporters, emphasizing the choice between fundamental change and maintaining the status quo.
As the election draws near, Nikki Haley’s endorsement adds another layer of intrigue to an already heated political landscape.
