    Former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, the last remaining challenger to Donald Trump in this year’s Republican presidential primary, predicted that Kamala Harris would be elected president if Trump beat her out for the GOP nomination earlier this year.

    On Fox News Tuesday afternoon, Martha MacCallum and Bret Baier recalled Haley’s comments while previewing Haley’s interview with Baier airing later in the evening.

    In one interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins this past February, Haley mused “The party that gets rid of their 80-year-old candidate is the party that will win. There will be a female president of the United States. It will either be me or it will be Kamala Harris. If Republicans nominate Donald Trump, it will be Kamala Harris.”

    “You know, looking back at some of these soundbites from Nikki Haley on the trail, some of them sound quite prescient. Let me just play one more, and then let me hear a little bit about what you’re looking forward to this evening,” noted MacCallum before playing another clip, this time of herself interviewing Haley.

    “When we look at the situation, we will have a female president. It will either be me or it will be Kamala Harris. We have to respect- 70% of Americans said they don’t want a Biden-Trump rematch. The majority of Americans disapprove of Trump and disapprove of Biden,” said Haley at the time.

    “I think she spent a lot of time talking about Kamala Harris on the campaign trail. And we remember that from Iowa and New Hampshire, South Carolina,” observed Baier. “What I want to hear is where she thinks the party is now. She always talks about, even in the convention speech, unifying the party, getting behind former President Trump because they don’t have to agree 100% of the time. Does she think the tent is expanding in this new battle with a new ticket that has a lot of energy on the Democratic side?”
