Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, seemed to dismiss Nikki Haley’s statement that the former president invited her to speak during her speech at the RNC on Tuesday night. Trump’s reaction to Haley’s claim, where she mentioned that Trump asked her to speak for the sake of unity, was met with what seemed like a scoff. He then quickly shifted his attention to his newly chosen vice presidential nominee, J.D. Vance. Trump’s interaction with Vance implied his lack of enthusiasm towards Haley, especially considering she had only agreed to speak on Sunday after the assassination attempt.
Watch:
Haley came in second place by a large margin in the Republican primaries at the beginning of 2024, securing only 95 delegates who she later pledged to Trump. Despite being a vocal critic of Trump’s behavior and mental state during the primary race, the ex-governor of South Carolina made a complete turnaround by giving a strong endorsement of Trump in her speech on Tuesday evening.
