Nikki Haley, who campaigned on ending the “chaos” that follows Donald Trump, found herself in a strange position as the former president’s legal troubles exploded on Thursday. Haley offered her long-sought backing of Trump just eight days before a 12-member New York jury found him guilty of 34 criminal counts of falsifying business records that could potentially carry up to four years in prison. While other Trump 2024 rivals and vice presidential contenders have rushed to back the former president, Haley has yet to say a word as of Friday afternoon. Since she dropped out of the race for the...

Former U.N. Ambassador and GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley has remained silent on the criminal conviction of former President Donald Trump as prominent Republicans and former Trump rivals continue to sound off. Haley's social media accounts have made no mention of the conviction as of early Friday afternoon and neither she, nor her representatives, responded to Fox News Digital's repeated requests for comment. Haley, who has been on a visit to Israel, posted on her X account multiple times since the conviction describing the horrors of the Oct. 7 attack carried out by Hamas against Israel.

Donald Trump was in “very high spirits” at a dinner with top supporters shortly after he was convicted on all counts in his New York City hush money trial, Gristedes CEO and Trump camp insider John Catsimatidis said. “It was a wonderful dinner,” Catsimatidis told 77 WABC’s Rita Cosby of the “triple A-list” gathering on Thursday evening. The intimate roundtable was attended by about “15 people, plus staff,” including Trump’s son Eric, the grocery billionaire explained. Trump, 77, “was in very high spirits” despite being fresh off his historic felony conviction, Catsimatidis recalled. “Everybody in that room believes that if...

Nikki Haley, a former GOP presidential candidate and United Nations ambassador, wrote “Finish them” on an artillery shell while on a trip to Israel this week. Haley was photographed signing the shell Tuesday in a social media post by Danny Danon, Israel’s former ambassador to the United Nations and a member of the Israeli Parliament. The message on the shell read, “Finish them! America [heart] Israel always, Nikki Haley.” “This is what my friend, the former ambassador, Nikki Haley wrote today about a shell during a visit to an artillery post on the northern border,” Danon wrote in a post...

Over a dozen Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley supporters, including former Women for Haley coalition members and the neoconservative’s state leadership teams, met with Joe Biden campaign deputy political director Juan Peñalosa on Wednesday.Haley is declining to endorse Trump or actively campaign against Biden, and despite officially dropping out of the GOP race, she continues to schmooze donors. Mitti Randhawa, Haley‘s brother, has suggested her supporters intend to mount a final coup attempt against Trump on the floor of the Republican National Convention in mid-July. National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam has argued the Republican leadership should move to ban such plotters from...

SAVE THE DATE — NIKKI HALEY makes her first public appearance since bowing out of the 2024 presidential race — and her inaugural appearance as Walter P. Stern Chair — at the Hudson Institute on May 22. She will deliver an address on U.S. foreign policy amid wars in the Middle East and Europe and growing tensions in Asia, followed by a fireside chat with Hudson senior fellow PETER ROUGH.

Republican Utah Rep. John Curtis — the frontrunner in the race to succeed retiring GOP Sen. Mitt Romney — received thousands of dollars in contributions from donors to former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley’s presidential bid during the first fundraising quarter of his Senate campaign, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation review of Federal Election Commission (FEC) data. Curtis brought in over $98,000 from donors of Haley’s suspended campaign and aligned super PAC, SFA Fund, Inc., between Jan. 1 and April 7, FEC filings show. The congressman has refrained from endorsing former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign while other leading...

Donald Trump won the Pennsylvania Republican primary with 82.8% of the vote. The Keystone State's primary is closed, meaning only Republicans can vote. But is this cause for worry? Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016 by 44,000 votes. Biden won the state in 2020 by 80,000. However, former candidate Nikki Haley, who dropped out a month ago, received 16.5% of the vote in this year's primary, or about 156,000 votes. That's a healthy slice of the electorate in a state so evenly divided. We can assume that a significant portion of Haley's votes are going to be "hold your nose and...

WASHINGTON—Hudson Institute today announced that Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and US ambassador to the United Nations, will be the next Walter P. Stern Chair. “When our policymakers fail to call out our enemies or acknowledge the importance of our alliances, the world is less safe. That is why Hudson’s work is so critical,” Haley said. “They believe the American people should have the facts and policymakers should have the solutions to support a secure, free, and prosperous future. I look forward to partnering with them to defend the principles that make America the greatest country in...

Joe Biden has released an ad courting supporters of former GOP candidate Nikki Haley. The ad features clips of Trump insulting Haley and says, “If you voted for Nikki Haley, Donald Trump doesn’t want your vote.” The ad urges supporters of the neoconservative former governor to “Save America. Join us." Biden shouldn’t need to work too hard for those votes since many people who voted for her were Democrats anyway. Data obtained by AP VoteCast found that 40 percent of those who voted for Nikki Haley in the South Carolina primary were Democrats who voted for Joe Biden in 2020.

While serving on the board of Boeing in 2020, GOP presidential candidate and former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley helped kill an initiative designed to force the company to more comprehensively disclose its spending to influence politicians and safety regulators, government filings show. Haley joined the company’s board of directors after the two fatal 737 Max crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia. Amid allegations of fraud and a coverup of safety problems following the disasters — resulting in a $243 million fine and $3 billion in compensation to airlines and victims’ families — Haley served on the board’s audit committee, according...

It’s time for America to come together and make Donald Trump the next president of the United States. I was one of those who doubted he could pull off a second presidential victory and backed Nikki Haley. I was wrong — Trump is ready to be president again, and the country needs him. Indicted 91 times by biased prosecutors out to stop him, Trump has engineered a great comeback.

Bill Maher has suggested President Joe Biden consider replacing his current Vice President Kamala Harris with either Nikki Haley or Republican Senator Mitt Romney in a bid to bridge the divide between the political parties. Maher suggested that if Biden were to pursue such an unconventional idea, it would likely result in electoral victory for the Democrats as the GOP members would be running on a unity ticket. On the panel, journalist Tara Palmeri raised concerns about potentially alienating the core of the Democratic party, which includes black women. 'She's a woman of color,' Maher replied — referring to Haley....

Nikki Haley blew a staggering amount of money on her failed campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, according to FEC records. The Daily Caller reported that when combining the donations from the Koch-backed Americans For Prosperity Action and the pro-Haley SFA Fund, as well as the money spent by her official campaign, the effort to propel the former governor of South Carolina cost $120 million. Nevertheless, a spokesperson for the Haley campaign told the Caller that they “believe all the money spent boosting Haley went to good use.” The 52-year-old finally suspended her campaign earlier this week after a poor...

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Republicans in North Dakota will gather around the state on Monday evening for their presidential caucuses, with results the caucus chair says might influence Republicans who vote in other states on Super Tuesday. Four candidates are on the ballot, including former President Donald Trump and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley.

Nikki Haley will win the Washington, D.C., Republican presidential primary, netting her first victory of the GOP nominating process, Decision Desk HQ projects. Haley garnered 1,274 votes to former President Trump’s 676 with all precincts reporting, according to DDHQ. The win for the former United Nations ambassador breaks a streak of more than a half dozen victories for Trump to start out the GOP contests for the nomination. It’s a much-needed triumph for Haley to show she can top Trump somewhere, but she still has a long road ahead of her.
