Retired Army Brigadier General Don Bolduc, who ran for Senate in New Hampshire, recently explained his decision to endorse former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley for president. As a staunch supporter of former President Trump, Bolduc's decision to back Haley raised some eyebrows.
Bolduc clarified that his support for Haley was grounded in their personal connection and her track record of unifying people. He highlighted the fact that Haley had shown her support by attending his campaign events on four separate occasions, which allowed him to get to know her on a personal level and develop a friendship.
Bolduc had even made a promise to Haley that if she ever ran for president, he would be her first endorsement. True to his word, he fully supported her when she decided to throw her hat into the presidential race. Bolduc emphasized that his support for Haley was not driven by political parties, but rather by the belief that America needs a leader who can bring people together.
According to Bolduc, the current state of American politics is marked by divisiveness and drama, with political parties dictating the candidate selection process. He expressed his belief that both President Biden and former President Trump represent different sides of the same coin, perpetuating the rift in the country.
Bolduc explained that he sees Haley as a unifying force, drawing from her experience as the United Nations Ambassador. Even Trump, Bolduc noted, respected her strength and ability to handle delicate international relationships. During her tenure, Haley defended US interests while maintaining dignity in dealing with a multitude of nations.
Bolduc also praised Haley's tenure as governor, citing her ability to lead South Carolina through tough economic times and into prosperity. He admired her dedication to fighting for the people she represented and highlighted how she was a public servant rather than a politician. In Bolduc's view, Haley was not a part of the establishment and could provide the change America needs.
The general ended his comments by expressing his concerns about Trump's recent endorsements, suggesting that they indicate Trump's entanglement with the political 'swamp.' He believed that this could potentially compromise Trump's ability to bring about meaningful change.
With Bolduc's endorsement, Haley's campaign gained momentum in New Hampshire. His support highlighted her ability to build connections and unite people, which she hopes will resonate with voters as she vies for the presidency.
