Nikki Haley revealed that she will be voting for Donald Trump in November's presidential election during her first public appearance since suspending her campaign against Trump in the Republican primary.
After delivering a speech at the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday (May 22), Haley was asked who would be a better president, Trump or Joe Biden.
"I put my priorities on a president who's going to have the backs of our allies and hold our enemies to account who would secure the border," Haley said. "Trump has not been perfect on these policies. I've made that clear many, many times."
"But Biden has been a catastrophe. So I will be voting for Trump."
Her decision to vote for Trump comes after she spent months attacking him during the campaign. Haley dropped out of the race after Super Tuesday, following a dominant performance by Trump. During her announcement, she wouldn't commit to supporting Trump said that he had to "earn the votes."
"It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it, who did not support him," she said in March. "And I hope he does that. At its best, politics is about bringing people into your cause, not turning them away. And our conservative cause badly needs more people."
