Former U.N. Ambassador and Republican candidate for president Nikki Haley says she is ready and willing to campaign for fellow Republican Donald Trump in the race for president. She also offered some unsolicited words of advice to her former rival in a recent interview with Fox News.
Haley is urging the Trump campaign to try to connect with moderates and independents, as well as women, a key demographic in which Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is polling well.
Haley referenced the Sunday, Oct. 27, Trump rally at Madison Square Garden in New York, saying, “this bromance and this masculinity stuff, I mean, it borders on edgy to the point that it’s going to make women uncomfortable.”
Haley, who lost to Trump in the Republican primary and bowed out earlier this year, says she has volunteered to campaign for Donald Trump and appear with him. However, the campaign has not taken her up on the offer. She says for now, she remains on standby.
In the meantime, the Thomas Paine Society, a nonprofit whose website says the group advocates for freedom, justice and equality, took out a large advertisement on the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, Oct. 31, titled “Haley on Trump. She said It. She Meant It. AND IT’S ALL STILL TRUE.” The ad has more than a half of a dozen quotes from Haley about Trump from the primary campaign.
Among them, “Chaos follows him, we can’t have a country in disarray and a world on fire.” Also, “He’s just trying to control as much as he can control, but we don’t want a king in America.” In addition, “He said that he would stand with Putin and encourage him to invade our allies… Trump would side with a dictator who kills his political opponents.”
Despite all that, Nikki Haley is supporting Donald Trump, saying she does not agree with him 100% of the time but she does not agree with Kamala Harris on anything. Yet, she and Trump supposedly have not spoken since June.
