Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley said on Wednesday that she will be voting for former President Donald Trump this fall over President Joe Biden.
Haley made the remarks during a question and answer session at the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C., when asked who she thought would do better on national security.
“As a voter, I put my priorities on a president who’s going to have the backs of our allies and hold our enemies to account, [and] who would secure the border. No more excuses,” Haley said. “A president who would support capitalism and freedom. A president who understands we need less debt, not more debt. Trump has not been perfect on these policies. I’ve made that clear many, many times. But Biden has been a catastrophe.”
“So I will be voting for Trump,” Haley continued. “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.”
Haley stopped short of giving Trump a full-throated endorsement, something that she had pledged to do when she was competing in the Republican Party primary earlier this year. Many of the other competitors, including Trump’s top challenger, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, did give Trump clear endorsements.
