Unless something crazy happens?
The Republican Governor is Too little…..
TOO Late….
She says she will stay in the race until the July convention…..
Probably hoping that Trump’s money and legal troubles can peal off support from the guy who LOST to Prersident Biden last time…..“
I’m running against him because I don’t think he should be president,” she said. “The last thing on my mind is who I’m going to support. The only thing on my mind is how we’re going to win this.”
When Karl tried to pin down Haley, she declined to say one way or the other.
“I’m going to run and I’m going to win, and y’all can talk about support later. Right now you can ask him if he’s going to support me when I’m the nominee,” she said.
While not a full-blown reversal, it does reflect changed rhetoric from the former South Carolina governor, the lone high-profile Republican still in the race, who previously said she would back Trump if he were to win the then-crowded primary.
“I would support him because I am not going to have a President Kamala Harris. We can’t afford that. That is not going to happen,” she said on CNBC in July 2023. At the first GOP debate in August, Haley was one of the contenders who raised their hands to say she would back Trump (who was not at the debate) if he emerged from the primary process as the nominee. Even as she has ratcheted up her criticism of Trump during the campaign season, she has not directly reversed her position on that matter.
While she continues to attack the Biden administration on just about every issue, she has become more unsparing in her views on her GOP foe.
During the interview with Karl, Haley was sharply critical of President Joe Biden for the state of the world today, but also aimed her fire at Trump, particularly for his recent remarks that were seen as undermining the NATO alliance as well as his attempts to stock the leadership of the Republican National Committee with close allies, including Lara Trump, his daughter-in-law.
“It should be a wake-up call for Republicans all over this country,” Haley told Karl. “I mean, you look at the fact that we saw in his campaign reports that he used $50 million of campaign contributions to pay for his personal court cases. Then he tried to get the RNC to name him the presumptive nominee. We don’t anoint kings in America.”
