Potential McConnell Replacement Hired Obama Advisor, Donated To Nikki Haley Before Jumping On Trump Bandwagon

/0 Comments/in , /by

Nate Morris, who is flirting with a Republican run for former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s Senate seat, has ties to former Democratic operatives and financially backed Nikki Haley after the 2020 presidential election.

Morris is fashioning himself as a Trump loyalist ahead of a possible Senate run, warning Kentuckians on X against electing “another Mitch McConnell puppet who will betray President Trump” and blasting McConnell for voting against some of the president’s cabinet nominees.

In a video Morris tweeted out Thursday after McConnell announced he would not be seeking reelection, Morris accused McConnell of “sabotage” against Trump and his agenda. He called for sending someone to Washington who is “going to fight with President Trump.”

However, a review of the Kentucky businessman’s X account showed that he only tweeted sparingly about Trump prior to 2025, save for sending prayers to the president after the July assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania and asking him to provide grants and loans to his company and others in the waste industry during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Biden Admin Refused to Grant Nikki Haley Secret Service Protection Despite Iranian Threats

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley remains without government-provided security, despite facing years of credible threats from Iranian-linked actors, including one revealed as recently as Thursday.

A source close to Haley told The Daily Wire that the former South Carolina governor was told in 2021 that Iran had placed her on a “kill list” because of her work at the UN. The FBI told Haley during her presidential campaign that Tehran was targeting her campaign.

Haley mentioned the FBI’s warning during her campaign. During a Sunday interview with CBS’s Face the Nation, Haley revealed that she was targeted by an Iranian-backed “murder-for-hire plot,” which was foiled in July.

“When I was running my presidential campaign the FBI had a separate hearing with me to let me know that Iran was influencing the election with our campaign to hurt me,” she said. “The murder-for-hire plot, named me. That’s by Iran.”

Revelation of the threats against Haley come as the Secret Service falls under scrutiny following the failed assassination attempt on President Trump in July at a Butler, Pennsylvania rally. In May Trump said Haley would “absolutely” be on his “team in some form” if he wins in November. During her CBS interview, Haley said she spoke to Trump in June and “he’s aware that I’m ready if he ever needs me” to campaign for him.

WATCH: Take a Look at Trump’s Face When Nikki Haley Claims He Invited Her to Speak at the RNC

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump appeared to scoff at Nikki Haley when she claimed during her speech at the RNC Tuesday night that the former president invited her to speak.

After Haley claimed that Trump asked her to speak at the convention “in the name of unity,” Trump appeared to scoff and immediately turned to his recently tapped vice presidential nominee, J.D. Vance. Trump’s remark to Vance appears to suggest he was not thrilled with Haley, who only accepted an offer to speak on Sunday following the assassination attempt.

Haley finished in a distant second place during the Republican primaries earlier in 2024, winning an insignificant 95 delegates whom she eventually released to Trump.

The former South Carolina governor was a harsh critic of Trump during the primary campaign, calling him “totally unhinged” and claiming that he was suffering from “mental decline.” In a stark change of tone, Haley offered a full-throated endorsement of Trump during her speech Tuesday night.

People Can’t Get Over Nikki Haley Shaking Her Head As She Endorsed Trump During Convention Speech

By Comic Sands. Former South Carolina Republican Governor Nikki Haley officially endorsed former President Donald Trump in a speech at the Republican National Convention—though eagle-eyed viewers noted the way she shook her head as if to say “no” even while publicly throwing her support behind him.

Haley, once Trump’s primary rival on the campaign trail, gave him her “strong endorsement” during her appearance in Milwaukee, ending months of speculation about whether she would support her former opponent.

Haley’s remarks came just weeks after she was called out for reversing course by announcing she plans on voting for Trump in the 2024 election after previously calling him a “disaster” in a speech in February.

Nikki Haley, Ron Desantis — Who Opposed Trump in the Primaries — Strongly Support Trump in Rousing RNC Speeches

/1 Comment/in , /by

Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis — who opposed former President Donald Trump in the primary races — threw their support behind Trump in back-to-back, rousing Republican National Convention speeches Tuesday night.

Haley — who stayed in the primaries the longest against Trump — told the RNC crowd she wanted to make “one thing perfectly clear: Donald Trump has my strong endorsement, period!” The audience loved the moment and showered her with cheers and applause.

The former South Carolina governor — who also served as United Nations Ambassador under Trump for part of his term in office — added that America is “at a critical moment” and “will be badly worse off” if Democrat President Joe Biden is reelected — and Americans must vote for Trump “for the sake of our nation.”

The Associated Press, citing Haley spokesperson Chaney Denton, reported that Haley hadn’t been invited to the convention. But the AP said that changed when Haley was added to the list of speakers Sunday — one day after Trump survived an attempted assassination during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Indeed, Haley said at the RNC that Trump asked her to speak “in the name of unity.” (Read more from “Nikki Haley, Ron Desantis — Who Opposed Trump in the Primaries — Strongly Support Trump in Rousing RNC Speeches” HERE)

Nikki Haley Announces Who She’s Voting For

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former U.N. ambassador and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) has revealed which 2024 candidate she plans to cast her vote for in November.

In a surprise change of heart, Haley said that she would vote for her GOP rival, former President Donald Trump over President Joe Biden.

Haley’s support of Trump could potentially boost the former president’s 2024 chances after some voters have continually cast their votes for the governor despite dropping out of the race.

In Wisconsin, a key battleground state, 20.8 percent of Republican primary voters cast a ballot for a candidate that wasn’t Trump or Biden. Despite suspending her campaign a month ago, Haley received more than 12 percent, or 76,000 votes, in the state. In comparison, in 2020, Biden won Wisconsin by over 20,000 votes against Trump.

During a conservative think tank, Haley said that Biden has been “a catastrophe” for the country, resulting in her vote going for Trump. (Read more from “Nikki Haley Announces Who She’s Voting For” HERE)

Nikki Haley Exits Presidential Race, No Trump Endorsement

/4 Comments/in , /by

By Fox News. Thirteen months after she launched her 2024 Republican presidential campaign in Charleston, South Carolina, Nikki Haley ended her White House bid.

The former two-term South Carolina governor who later served as U.N. ambassador in former President Donald Trump’s administration on Wednesday morning announced “the time has now come to suspend my campaign.”

“I said I wanted Americans to have their voices heard. I have done it. I have no regrets. And although I will no longer be a candidate, I will not stop using my voice for the things I believe in,” Haley said as she spoke at her presidential campaign headquarters on Daniel Island, in her hometown of Charleston.

But Haley did not immediately endorse Trump, who is on course to clinch the GOP presidential nomination in the next week or two.

“It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him. And I hope he does that,” Haley said as she pointed to those who supported her during her White House run. (Read more from “Nikki Haley Exits Presidential Race, No Trump Endorsement” HERE)

South Korea Prepares for Donald Trump Reelection

By Breitbart. The South Korean government on Tuesday appointed a career diplomat named Lee Tae-woo to head up rushed negotiations for the renewal of a defense agreement with the U.S. that will not expire for two years.

Former President Donald Trump has notably called for South Korea to increase its contributions by 500 percent; the South Korean government’s moves to ensure that the agreement will remain as-is far beyond the 2024 American presidential election could be interpreted as a way to prepare for Trump’s potential return to the White House.

The Special Measures Agreement (SMA) covering U.S. contributions to South Korea’s defense has been renewed 11 times since 1991, most recently in April 2021, when a deal lasting until 2025 was sealed.

Under the eleventh SMA, the administration of former President Moon Jae-in agreed to a 13.9-percent increase in the amount paid to keep American troops in South Korea. This marked the first time Seoul’s contribution had increased by more than ten percent in a single round of the SMA and the first time it paid more than a billion dollars.

In the final year of his administration, Trump rejected South Korea’s offer of a 13-percent increase. Trump felt South Korea was taking advantage of American protection, paying a pittance when its huge economy would allow it to handle a much heavier share of the costs.

Super Tuesday Sees Growing Calls for Nikki Haley to Drop Out of Race; Majority of Haley Voters Approve of Biden on Super Tuesday

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. There are growing calls for Nikki Haley to drop out of the presidential primary race as former President Donald Trump appears to be scooping up victory after victory. . .

So far in the GOP primary Haley has scored one victory, in the Washington, DC, swamp, and as it looks like Trump continues in his victory streak, there are increased calls for Haley to drop out.

“@NikkiHaley needs to drop out of the race,” the Twitter account of Ben and Candy Carson said. “Our country is facing existential threats from within and abroad and if left unresolved, will change the course of our future indefinitely.”

“We have real problems to solve for our children and grandchildren. America needs a strong leader back on the world stage. America needs @realDonaldTrump!” they added:

CNN Exit Poll: 85% of Haley Voters Approve of Biden on Super Tuesday

By Breitbart. Eighty-five percent of former Gov. Nikki Haley voters approved of President Joe Biden as commander in chief, a CNN exit poll found on Super Tuesday in North Carolina.

The result underscores Haley’s establishment appeal among Republican primary voters. Both Haley and Biden represent establishment interests.

Only 18 percent of Haley voters disapproved of Biden, while 78 percent of voters supporting former President Donald Trump disapproved of Biden.

Only nine percent of Trump voters approved of Biden.

Haley alleged she is a “conservative,” although some of her policies appear to contradict her claim. (Read more from “CNN Exit Poll: 85% of Haley Voters Approve of Biden on Super Tuesday” HERE)

Nikki Haley Wins a Republican Primary for the First Time

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley won the District of Columbia’s GOP primary on Sunday, her first win in a Republican nominating contest after a string of losses to former President Donald Trump.

Haley carried the Washington, D.C., primary with just under 63% of the vote, according to The Associated Press. The primary comes two days before Super Tuesday contests, with hundreds more delegates at stake, could steepen her already daunting path to the nomination.

“Thank you, DC!” Haley wrote on X of the results. “We fight for every inch.”

Trump carried nominating contests in Missouri, Michigan and Idaho one day before the D.C. primary. Haley captured all 19 delegates at stake in Sunday’s contest, but still lags far behind Trump’s delegate count.

Nikki Haley: I’m No Longer Bound by Pledge to Support Trump — RNC Is ‘Not the Same’

/2 Comments/in , /by

Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that she might not endorse former President Donald Trump even though she signed a Republican National Committee (RNC) pledge to do so.

Anchor Kristen Welker asked, “Have you moved to a place where you’re no longer planning to endorse him?”

Haley said, “Well, I think, first of all, if you talk about an endorsement, you’re talking about a loss. I don’t think like that. When you’re in a race, you don’t think about losing. You think about continuing to go forward. What I can tell you is, I don’t think Donald Trump or Joe Biden should be president. I don’t think we need two candidates in their 80s.”

Welker said, “Let me try it this way. You did sign a pledge, an RNC pledge, to support the eventual nominee. Do you still feel bound by that pledge?” . . .

She continued, “The RNC pledge, I mean, at the time of the debate, we had to take it to where would you support the nominee, in order to get on that debate stage, you said yes. The RNC is now not the same RNC. Now it’s Trump’s daughter-in-law.” (Read more from “Nikki Haley: I’m No Longer Bound by Pledge to Support Trump — RNC Is ‘Not the Same’” HERE)

Haley Refuses To End Campaign Following Trump Victory In South Carolina

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley refused to quit the presidential race Saturday following an overwhelming defeat in her own state.

The Associated Press called the contest for the Republican frontrunner Donald Trump shortly after polls closed “further consolidating his path to a third straight GOP nomination.” The former president has now carried every race for delegates as he heads for a rematch with the Democrat incumbent.

Haley spoke to supporters in Charleston as Trump was declared the winner 60 percent to 40 percent at the time of her speech.

“I know 40 percent is not 50 percent, but I also know 40 percent is not some tiny group,” Haley said, pledging to stay in the race following the humiliating 20-point upset in the state she served two terms as governor.

“I said earlier this week that no matter what happens in South Carolina, I would continue to run for president,” Haley added. “I’m a woman of my word.” (Read more from “Haley Refuses To End Campaign Following Trump Victory In South Carolina” HERE)
