Nikki Haley, Donald Trump's final rival for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, will now speak at the GOP convention as the party rallies around their nominee after an assassination attempt
MILWAUKEE, WI - Former President Trump's final rival in the 2024 GOP presidential nomination race will speak at this week's Republican convention, in what appears to be a move towards party unity in the wake of the unsuccessful assassination attempt against Trump. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who served as U.N. ambassador in the Trump administration, will now speak at Tuesday the convention, a person familiar with the decision confirmed to Fox News on Sunday.
She was not invited, and she’s fine with that,' Haley aide Chaney Denton said last week. 'Trump deserves the convention he wants. She’s made it clear she’s voting for him and wishes him the best.
Haley announced that she was suspending her White House campaign on March 6, the day after Trump swept 14 of 15 GOP nominating contests on Super Tuesday. As she departed the race, Haley made it clear that she intended to keep speaking out. And Haley continued to grab up to 20% of the vote in Republican presidential primaries in the months after she dropped out.
In late May, in her first public comments since announcing the end of her 2024 campaign, Haley said she would vote for Trump. Haley won a total of 97 delegates during the Republican presidential primaries. And last week, Haley released all of her delegates and urged them to support Trump.
