Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has announced she will vote for Donald Trump in November.
While speaking at an event hosted by the Hudson Institute, Haley said, “I will be voting for Trump.”
“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,” added Haley.
During her March suspension speech, the former Governor of South Carolina refused to endorse Donald Trump, but her tone has changed.

Nikki Haley said Wednesday that she will be voting for Donald Trump in the general election, a notable show of support given their intense and often personal rivalry during the Republican primary calendar.
But Haley also made it clear that she feels Trump has work to do to win over voters who supported her during the course of the primary campaign and continue to cast votes for her in ongoing primary contests.
“I will be voting for Trump,” Haley, Trump’s former U.N. ambassador, said during an event at the Hudson Institute in Washington.
“Having said that, I stand by what I said in my suspension speech,” Haley added. “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.”
After suffering a miserable defeat on Super Tuesday, Nikki Haley suspended her campaign.
In her suspension speech, the former U.N. ambassador vowed to continue to support the war in Ukraine and called for Trump to “earn” her voters.
