Nikki Haley Still on Standby

November 1, 2024 at 6:50 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“With only four days until the election, the clock is ticking for Donald Trump to engage Nikki Haley on the campaign trail — if he even wants to at all,” Politico reports.

“Haley, the last Republican candidate to drop out during the primaries, has said that she remains on ‘standby’ for the Trump campaign. She has put her name on fundraising and has spoken favorably of her former political rival in the media and on the main stage at the Republican National Convention.”

“But at a time when Trump is lagging with women and Democrats have been courting so-called ‘Haley voters,’ Republicans who cast a protest ballot for her in GOP primaries after she dropped out, Trump has so far chosen not to schedule any appearances with his former UN ambassador in the final stretch.”
