COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Nikki Haley said Wednesday that she will be voting for Donald Trump in the general election, encouraging the presumptive GOP nominee to work hard to win support from those who backed her in the primary.
The former U.N. ambassador made the comment during an event at the Hudson Institute in Washington.
Haley shuttered her own bid for the GOP nomination two months ago but did not immediately endorse Trump. Both candidates were sharply critical of each other during the primary.

Haley exceeded expectations by becoming the last Republican standing against Donald Trump in the Republican presidential nomination fight, and she still hasn't fallen in line and endorsed her former rival. Some allies believe she may be forced to endorse Trump before the November election to avoid permanently alienating the GOP's hardcore base. But if Haley submits to Trump, she also risks destroying her own coalition. (AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez, File)
