Lots going on today. For those who thought that bygones would be bygones, well, you don’t have to worry about a Trump-Haley ticket. Heck, you don’t even have to worry about seeing Nikki Haley at the RNC convention, because she was not invited. These ‘PUMA desserts’ are just tasty [PUMA = party unity my ass].
Apparently, President Trump did not forget the entirety of the process from 2018 to 2024 that laid behind the curtain of Nikki Haley. {SEE HERE} Good news! Personally, I hope this is a sign of much more intra-party confrontation still to come. Perhaps Haley can go play pickle ball with Glenn Youngkin in her free time.
WASHINGTON DC – Former South Carolina Gov. NIKKI HALEY is releasing all of her 97 delegates and urging them to vote for DONALD TRUMP at next week’s Republican National Convention, our colleague Meridith McGraw reports.
“The nominating convention is a time for Republican unity,” Haley will say in a statement. “JOE BIDEN is not competent to serve a second term and KAMALA HARRIS would be a disaster for America. We need a president who will hold our enemies to account, secure our border, cut our debt, and get our economy back on track. I encourage my delegates to support Donald Trump next week in Milwaukee.”
Asked if Haley is attending the convention, Haley spox CHANEY DENTON said that Haley “was not invited, and she’s fine with that. Trump deserves the convention he wants. She’s made it clear she’s voting for him and wishes him the best.” (read more)
