Former President Donald Trump is not actively courting Nikki Haley or her voter base after the former United States Ambassador dropped out of the presidential race earlier this month.
Haley suspended her bid for the Republican presidential nomination after the former president sailed to victory in the Super Tuesday primary races. In her speech, she stated that she wouldn’t endorse any candidates, and they must court her supporters to get their votes. Those who helped Haley in the primary have yet to hear from Trump, Politico reported.
Art Pope, a major GOP donor to Haley and the former chair of Americans for Prosperity, the political arm of the powerful Koch network, told Politico the Trump campaign has yet to reach out to him. The new Republican National Committee Chairman, Michael Whatley, however, has contacted him regarding his support for Trump.
“I know he’s reached out to some and others he’s not,” Pope said. “But as far as the message he’s sending in his public comments and his interviews and his rallies, he has not been very conciliatory, and on the positions and on the issues, he’s doubling down, like on his proposal for the largest tax increase ever proposed by a Republican candidate for president with his tariff tax.”
