South Carolina Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and fellow South Carolina delegate Jerry Rovner, who both supported Donald Trump over Nikki Haley during the primary, commended their former governor for delivering a unifying message at the Republican National Convention. Evette expressed her approval of Haley's speech, stating that it aligned with President Trump's call for unity within the party and emphasized the importance of growing and uniting the Republican Party.
Haley, who was the final Republican challenger against Trump in the primary, gave a wholehearted endorsement of the former president during her address at the RNC. Rovner emphasized the significance of Haley's endorsement, believing it would attract voters who may have reservations about Trump and stressed the necessity of complete unity within the party as the fall approaches. He praised Haley's speech as outstanding and noted her presentation of a softer tone.
When asked about her reaction to Haley's endorsement of Trump, Evette highlighted the critical stakes involved. She emphasized the overarching goal for Republicans to prioritize the greater good of the country, focusing on issues such as national security, combating the opioid crisis, addressing inflation, and revitalizing the middle class.
