Former U.N. ambassador and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who recently endorsed Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention, faced criticism from President Biden's campaign. Haley, who initially ran against Trump in the GOP primaries, expressed her strong support for the president in her speech.
Biden's deputy campaign manager, Quentin Fulks, accused Haley of losing her way and promoting what he referred to as 'MAGA extremist talking points.' Fulks emphasized that Haley's endorsement of Trump was not surprising, given the nature of politics.
Haley's appearance at the convention was a gesture of unity within the Republican Party following an assassination attempt against Trump. Despite suspending her campaign earlier this year after Trump's success on Super Tuesday, Haley continued to garner significant support in subsequent primaries.
The Biden campaign is now targeting moderate and centrist Republicans who previously voted for Haley. Fulks highlighted that these voters were primarily motivated by opposition to Trump and his perceived extreme agenda.
The dynamics between Haley and Trump during the primaries were marked by intense competition, with Trump ultimately emerging victorious. However, Haley's decision to endorse Trump has sparked debate within the GOP and drawn attention from the Biden campaign.
