It’s looking like many of Nikki Haley’s supporters in the “Never Trump” variety may now have to reconsider.
While not explicitly backing Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, who previously called Trump “not qualified” to be President, did offer a de-facto enforcement in announcing that she’ll be voting for Trump come November.
In her first public remarks since dropping out of the 2024 race, where she garnered roughly 20% of the vote in primary contests, she said: “I will be voting for Trump. Having said that, I stand by what I said in my suspension speech. 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.”
Watch in full below:After Haley’s announcement, her son also put out a tweet on why he wouldn’t be voting for Biden, and criticized one person upset with her announcement for only backing his mother to oppose Trump. He did however, clarify that he didn’t say he was voting for Trump, just that he wasn’t voting for Biden.

If u mistook her message for being strictly anti-Trump then u never understood her message to begin with. It was much more than that. U proved u only supported her cuz of her opposition to Trump and not the actual policies she had (which aren’t that diff from Trump)

While polling indicated that nearly half of those who voted for Haley in the primaries said they'd vote for Biden over Trump, a sizeable chunk of this is due to Democrats voting in open primaries.
