Nikki Haley Releases Delegates To RNC, Advocates Backing Trump
WASHINGTON, DC (IANS) – Nikki Haley, who dropped out of the Republican presidential race in early March, has said that she is releasing her delegates to the Republican National Convention, urging them to support Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee.
Haley said on July 9 in a statement that the upcoming nominating convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a time for Republican “unity.”
Haley, who had fiercely criticised the former president, explicitly said in a May speech that she would vote for Trump, despite the contentious issues that arose between them during the Republican presidential primaries.
Haley is not invited to the 2024 RNC, but she has made it clear she’s voting for him, spokeswoman Chaney Denton was quoted by CNN as saying.
According to The Associated Press’ estimate, Haley earned 97 delegates during the primary process.
Trump has garnered 2,265 delegates so far, far exceeding the 1,215-benchmark needed for the party’s nomination.

It is clear that Nikki Haley cannot be trusted as to what she says and what she beleives in . She has long said that Trump is unfit for being the POTUS and now she is supporting him and releasing her delegates in her favor. It appears that she is aiming for being invited to speak at the Republican Convention enxt week in Milwaukee. I suggest that everyone who has been thinking about Nikki Haley and what she represent think again as to who they should be voting for the POTUS. It is certainly not Donald Trump.

Nickki Haley is a selfish sychophant who cannot be trusted. By reversing her position and promises, she is proving that she has no backbone or convictions. Trump is the last person on erarth that she should be supporting now!

She has no Integrity or moral character. The fact that she has not been invited to the RNC is an indication that she has absolutely no standing in the Republican convention or the Republican Party. Laura Trump is the chairman of the party who won’t touch Tricky Nikki with a ten foot barge pole. As far as releasing her delegates…. they’re not pigeons to be let go.
