Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley announced on Tuesday that she is releasing her delegates to the Republican National Convention and is urging them to support former President Donald Trump. In a statement, Haley emphasized the importance of Republican unity during the nominating convention, stating that Joe Biden is not competent for a second term and that Kamala Harris would be detrimental for America. She expressed the need for a president who can hold enemies accountable, secure the border, reduce debt, and revive the economy. Haley encouraged her delegates to back Donald Trump during the upcoming convention in Milwaukee.
Despite their past differences during the Republican presidential primary, Haley had previously indicated in a May speech that she would vote for Trump. She has decided not to attend the convention in Milwaukee, with her spokesperson mentioning that she was not invited and is supportive of Trump's preferences for the event.
During the primary process, Haley had earned 95 delegates according to CNN's estimate. However, the way delegates vote during the roll call can be influenced by state party rules, which may not directly align with delegate estimates.
