Nikki Haley, who previously served as Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, has announced her support for Donald Trump at the upcoming Republican National Convention. In a statement, Haley released the delegates she earned during the primary process and urged them to back Trump, emphasizing the necessity for a president who can handle national security, border control, debt reduction, and economic recovery.

Although Haley will not attend the convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, her spokesperson confirmed that she stands by her decision to vote for Trump, despite her past criticisms of him. Haley's release of her delegates is seen as a symbolic gesture given that Trump has already secured the required number of delegates to become the presumptive Republican nominee, and the influence of state party rules on delegate voting at the convention. Despite her earlier hesitation to endorse Trump, Haley clarified that she believes he is the preferable choice over Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.
