Haley says she has not been asked to join Trump campaign
Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said in a Sunday interview she has not been asked to join the Trump campaign on the trail.
“You have endorsed Donald Trump. You spoke at the convention, but are you going to campaign for him?” CBS’s Margaret Brennan asked Haley on “Face the Nation.”
“You know, he knows I'm on standby,” Haley said.
Haley heavily critiqued former President Trump during her primary run for the GOP presidential nomination. The former U.N. ambassador then called on her party to unite and elect him in an address to the Republican National Convention in July.
“You said you're on standby,” Brennan asked Haley. “In other words, you haven't been asked to campaign. Are you advising at all on his debate preparation or speaking to the campaign?”
"I'm not, and you know, that's his choice," Haley said. "He can, you know, whatever he decides to do with his campaign, he can do that."
In her speech to the convention a few months ago, Haley told her fellow Republicans that they “should acknowledge that there are some Americans who don’t agree with Donald Trump 100 percent of the time.”
“Take it from me. I haven’t always agreed with President Trump. But we agree more often than we disagree,” she later added.
In the interview, Haley also said comments about women from Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance (R), are “not helpful.”
“Just as recently as last week, JD Vance said he’s disoriented and disturbed that the head of the most powerful teachers’ union in the country doesn’t have a single child,” Brennan noted to Haley. “He continues to say things that certainly are highlighted as being offensive to women. That is going to hurt, won’t it, with female voters?”
“It’s not helpful,” Haley responded.
