As Democrats court Haley supporters, the former UN ambassador is still waiting to hear from Trump

Nikki Haley received more Republican primary votes than anyone who challenged Donald Trump for this year’s presidential nomination. She has said she’s voting for him, and she released her delegates so they could support him at the Republican National Convention.
But unlike some of Trump's other GOP primary rivals, such as Vivek Ramaswamy and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, she hasn't been on the campaign trail supporting her party's nominee. According to a person with knowledge of the situation, Haley has given Trump's campaign a list of dates on which she would be available to help him, but no appearances have been scheduled.
...
There was no love lost between Trump and Haley during the GOP primary, during which Haley repeatedly questioned the fitness for office of both Trump and President Joe Biden and called for cognitive tests for older politicians. Haley repeatedly warned that nominating Trump would land Democrat Kamala Harris in the White House, implying that Biden --- then still in the race --- would be unable to serve another term.
You're viewing a single thread.
Even though her voters can help elect Harris, I’m so sick of Nikki Haley and her spinelessness.
She spent her entire primary campaign saying that Trump is unfit to be president, then once she was eliminated, she immediately said she’d vote for him (probably to try and get a cabinet position). Now that it’s clear he hates her and she has no shot at joining his administration, her current position is an illogical word salad that’s a result of her taking both sides and being backed into a corner.
Indeed. At least she is eating some just deserts.
