Nikki Haley endorses Trump at GOP Convention

Former U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley voiced her full support for Donald Trump during her speech at the Republican convention in Milwaukee. Once a strong critic and opponent during the primaries, she now urges the country to re-elect Trump, receiving cheers from the audience. Despite not always agreeing with him, she told Americans it wasn’t necessary to agree on everything to vote for him. Trump, recovering from an attempted assassination over the weekend, was present at the convention for the second day. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, another former presidential hopeful, also spoke, underscoring respect for the nation during Trump’s presidency and echoing Trump’s call to ‘fight,’ referencing his reaction to the recent attack.
