Nikki Haley, who campaigned on ending the “chaos” that follows Donald Trump, found herself in a strange position as the former president’s legal troubles exploded on Thursday: a silent supporter.
Haley offered her long-sought backing of Trump just eight days before a 12-member New York jury found him guilty of 34 criminal counts of falsifying business records that could potentially carry up to four years in prison.
While other Trump 2024 rivals and vice presidential contenders have rushed to back the former president, Haley has yet to say a word as of Friday afternoon.
Since she dropped out of the race for the presidential nomination, she has continued to be a thorn in Trump’s side, amassing 97 delegates compared to Trump’s 2,219 delegates, according to the Associated Press.
Now some of her most ardent supporters suggest this is the moment for Haley to restart her campaign as a credible alternative to a convicted felon as the GOP nominee.
