In a Wall Street Journal op-ed Sunday, former presidential candidate Nikki Haley boiled down the decision to vote for the man she once ran against as a choice between policies and said the individuals who hold mixed views about former President Donald Trump will ultimately decide if he wins.
“Millions of people love Donald Trump, and millions hate him. Each group will vote accordingly,” Haley wrote. “But there are also millions whose views on Mr. Trump are mixed. They like much of what he did as president and agree with most of his policies. But they dislike his tone and can’t condone his excesses, such as his conduct on Jan. 6, 2021. This third group of Americans will determine whether the former president returns to the White House.”
Haley said while she doesn’t agree with Trump all the time, she agrees with him most of the time and never agrees with Vice President Kamala Harris. On the economy and national security, Haley claimed Harris would make “America’s fiscal crisis even worse” and the world more unsafe.
With one day left in the 2024 race, Haley has not appeared on the campaign trail with Trump, though CNN previously reported she was in talks with the campaign to appear with him potentially at a Fox News town hall in late October.
Less than a week ago, after Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, Haley told Fox News the Trump campaign may be alienating women voters with “this bromance and masculinity stuff, it borders on edgy to the point that it’s going to make women uncomfortable.”
