Donald Trump’s campaign is in talks with former ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley to rope her in to Trump’s campaigning in the last few weeks left for the election. But Trump doesn’t like the idea and is putting no fig leaf to his frustration. In a Fox interview on Friday, Trump said “I’ll do what I have to do” on a question as to whether he would call Haley and ask her to campaign for him.
“But let me just tell you: Nikki Haley and I fought, and I beat her by 50, 60, 90 points. I beat her in her own state. … I beat Nikki badly,” Trump said. “I beat everyone else, too — badly. Frankly I set records. Both in speed and in the magnitude of the win. Everybody keeps saying that. They don’t say get Ron [DeSantis]. And Ron did very well.
“And they keep talking about Nikki, Nikki. I like Nikki. Nikki, I don’t think, should have done what she did, and that’s fine that she did it,” Trump said, referring to Haley’s decision to run against him. “But even in her own state — in South Carolina, where she was the governor — I beat her by a number. … And then they say, ‘Oh when is Nikki coming back in?’ Nikki is in. Nikki is helping us already.”
Nikki Haley has not appeared along with Trump for the campaigning yet though she supported him at the Republican National Convention in July. Earlier this year, Haley ran the strongest primary challenge to Trump and won the district of Columbia and Vermont primaries.
The Bulwark first reported that Nikki Haley is in talked with the Donald Trump team to appear with him later this month at a town hall event moderated by a Fox News personality such as Sean Hannity.
