Nikki Haley, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, is reemerging into public life by meeting with roughly 100 of her biggest donors who supported her campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. The retreat is taking place in Charleston, South Carolina, not far from Haley’s home in the state’s low country. However, despite her interactions with donors, she is still not expected to endorse her former ally, now the presumptive Republican nominee, at these meetings. Instead, the event is being billed as an opportunity for Haley to thank her backers for their support throughout her own campaign.
The decision not to endorse Trump has been significant for Haley’s public persona. On the day she dropped out of the race, she told supporters that it was up to Trump “to earn the votes of those in our party, and beyond it, who did not support him.” Unquote 😜 Wink Wink. This supposed stance made her an outlier among the 2024 GOP candidates, as many of the Republicans who once challenged Trump quickly fell in line behind him after exiting the race.
I predict she’s following the mantra; (Time heals all Wounds). She will give her Trump Endorsement a it a little more time than she will endorse Trump. She is just like Ramaswamy She has an enduring need to be accepted by her white peers doesn’t matter if they degrade her. Her personal gain means much more than dignity and integrity.
Now, despite maintaining a relatively low profile since dropping out more than two months ago, Haley has continued to receive significant support in state Republican primaries. Most recently, she garnered more than 120,000 votes in Indiana, representing about 22% of the vote. Overall, Haley has won nearly 4 million votes to date, roughly 20% of the total votes cast thus far.
While her name was briefly floated as a potential vice-presidential contender for Trump, both Trump and his campaign quickly rebuked the rumor. As the political landscape remains dominated by Trump, Haley’s next steps within the party remain unclear. 😜Wink Wink!
