Nikki Haley Discusses Absence from Trump’s Rallies: "We’re on Standby"

In a recent interview with Fox News, Nikki Haley shared insights into her relationship with former President Donald Trump and her current political stance. Haley revealed to anchor Bret Baier that she has not been asked to campaign for Trump since June, and the two have not communicated since then.

While Haley acknowledged her differences with Trump, stating, “I don’t agree with him 100% of the time, but I don’t agree with Kamala Harris on anything,” she remains prepared to step in if needed. She mentioned her ongoing contributions through fundraising efforts but emphasized that these actions don’t equate to active campaigning. “It does not bother me at all,” she remarked, attempting to downplay her absence from the campaign trail.

Haley also offered pointed critiques of Trump’s recent rally at Madison Square Garden, where comedian Tony Hinchcliffe faced backlash for inappropriate jokes. She advised against overly masculine posturing, noting, “Fifty-three percent of the electorate are women.” Haley stressed that women want to feel respected and engaged with the issues, rather than distracted by bravado.

As Vice President Kamala Harris seeks support from disillusioned Republicans, including Liz Cheney, Haley’s stance could influence the dynamics of the race, particularly in key battleground states. Although she was once a strong contender in the Republican primary, Haley ultimately withdrew and endorsed Trump. With Election Day approaching, her absence from the campaign trail raises questions about her role in the current political landscape.
