Trump says Nikki Haley could have a place in his administration

During the Thursday evening rally with many supporters in the Bronx, Trump was asked by a reporter at News 12 if he would have Haley, his former Republican primary opponent, in his administration if he got elected.

“Well, I think she’s gonna be on our team because we have a lot of the same ideas, the same thoughts,” Trump told the outlet at the Bronx rally. Haley said she would vote for him ahead of the rally on Thursday.

“I appreciated what she said,” Trump added. “You know, we had a nasty campaign. It was pretty nasty, but she’s a very capable person.”

In the days leading up to the rally, Haley came out and said she would be voting for Trump in the 2024 election as opposed to incumbent President Joe Biden, and said, “Biden has been a catastrophe.”

Haley added to her comment at the Hudson Institute in Washington, DC, “So, I will be voting for Trump.”

“I stand by what I said in my suspension speech: Trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me and not assume that they’re just going to be with him,” Haley also added, advising the Trump campaign. “And I genuinely hope he does that.”

As the election approaches, Trump has been pulling away support from Biden in several key swing states for the presidency in recent polls. Black voters’ support for Trump, for example, has doubled since 2020, according to CNN averages.
