Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley announced on Wednesday that she will vote for former President Donald Trump over current President Joe Biden in the upcoming November election, as reported by The Hill.

Speaking at the Hudson Institute, Haley emphasized the importance of having a president who holds enemies accountable, secures the border, and supports capitalism and freedom. She acknowledged that while "Trump has not been perfect on these policies," she believes "Biden has been a catastrophe."

"As a voter, I prioritize a president who supports our allies, holds our enemies to account, secures the border, and supports capitalism and freedom," Haley said. "We need a president who understands the importance of reducing debt, not increasing it. Despite his imperfections, I will be voting for Trump."

In March, Haley ended her bid for the GOP presidential nomination, stating, "The time has come to suspend my campaign. I wanted Americans to have their voices heard, and I have achieved that. I have no regrets." She encouraged Trump to engage with her supporters, emphasizing that they should not be taken for granted.

Despite her withdrawal from the race, Haley continues to have a notable presence in the Republican primary results. She received significant percentages of the vote in recent GOP primaries in Maryland, Nebraska, and Indiana. Earlier this year, she garnered over 100,000 votes in key battleground states like Arizona and Pennsylvania.

Trump downplayed these results, asserting that Haley's supporters would ultimately back him in the general election against Biden. "She got very few voters," Trump said. "Those voters are coming to me."

Meanwhile, Biden's campaign has also reached out to Haley's supporters. In March, Biden remarked that Trump did not want Haley's supporters, but he welcomed them into his campaign.

Haley, who joined the Hudson Institute as the Walter P. Stern chair in April, continues to maintain a prominent profile, potentially positioning herself for the 2028 GOP presidential primary.
