The battle is on for Nikki Haley's supporters

Nikki Haley’s campaign is over, but the fight to win over her supporters has just begun. Trump's and Biden's initial pitches to them couldn't be more different.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Nikki Haley’s campaign is over, but the fight to win over her supporters has just begun.

With former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden essentially set in stone as their parties’ respective presidential nominees, the Haley voting bloc — those who previously cast ballots for Trump and those who previously cast ballots for Biden — will now have to come to terms with a choice many wished they wouldn’t have to make. 

And Trump’s and Biden’s initial pitches to these voters couldn’t sound more different.

On his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote Wednesday that Haley, who was his ambassador to the United Nations, “got TROUNCED” on Super Tuesday “in record setting fashion,” adding, “Much of her money came from Radical Left Democrats, as did many of her voters, almost 50%, according to the polls.” Later, he said he “would further like to invite all of the Haley supporters to join the greatest movement in the history of our Nation.”

Biden, meanwhile, praised Haley in a statement for having the “courage” to run against Trump and for “speaking the truth” about her rival, expressing hope that the two “can find common ground” on a variety of key issues.
