Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley recently had a positive conversation with former President Donald Trump, marking their first contact since Haley withdrew from the presidential race. The discussion, reported by The Wall Street Journal, centered on Haley's personal offer of support to Trump.
During their conversation, which took place about a week ago, Haley and Trump did not delve into potential campaign roles or Haley's involvement in the upcoming Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Notably, Haley's outreach to Trump occurred before the first 2024 presidential debate, prompting speculation among Democrats about President Joe Biden's candidacy following a lackluster performance.
Expressing concern over Biden's fitness for office, Haley emphasized the need for Republicans to anticipate the Democratic Party potentially selecting a younger and more dynamic candidate to replace him. She suggested that retaining Biden as the nominee could lead to detrimental congressional losses for the Democrats.
Haley, who previously served as Trump's US ambassador to the United Nations, highlighted her decision to support Trump despite acknowledging his imperfections, contrasting him with what she described as Biden's disastrous tenure.
Throughout her remarks, Haley has consistently criticized both Biden and Trump for their advanced ages, arguing that neither is suitable for another term as president.
