Nikki Haley Cheered As She Tells Republicans You Don’t Always Have to Agree With Trump to Vote For Him

Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley , who traded brutal jabs with Donald Trump during the primary season, addressed the Republican National Convention on Tuesday and square put her full support behind the 2024 GOP nominee.

“My fellow Republicans,” Haley began to a loud roar. “President Trump asked me to speak to this convention in the name of unity. It was a gracious invitation, and I was happy to accept. I’ll start by making one thing perfectly clear. Donald Trump has my strong endorsement. Period,” she continued as the crowd unequivocally began to cheer her as Trump stood up and applauded.

“Our country is at a critical moment. We have a choice to make. For more than a year, I said, a vote for Joe Biden is a vote for President Kamala Harris. After seeing the debate, everyone knows it’s true,” Haley continued, adding:

If we have four more years of Biden or a single day of Harris, our country will be badly worse off. For the sake of our nation. We have to go with Donald Trump. But there’s more to it than that. We should acknowledge that there are some Americans who don’t agree with Donald Trump 100% of the time. I happen to know some of them. And I want to speak to them tonight. My message to them is simple. You don’t have to agree with Trump 100% of the time to vote for him. Take it from me. I haven’t always agreed with President Trump, but we agree more often than we disagree.

We agree on keeping America strong. We agree on keeping America safe.

And we agree that Democrats have moved so far to the left that they’re putting our freedoms in danger. I’m here tonight because we have a country to save, and a unified Republican Party is essential for saving her.

For those who have some doubts about President Trump. I want to tell you a few things about the commander in chief I know and worked with as ambassador to the United Nations. I had a front row seat to his national security policies. We sure could use those again.

Think about it, when Barack Obama was president, Vladimir Putin invaded Crimea. With Joe Biden as president, Putin invaded all of Ukraine. But when Donald Trump was president, Putin did nothing. No invasion. No invasions. No wars. That was no accident. Putin didn’t attack Ukraine because he knew Donald Trump was tough. A strong and strong president doesn’t start wars. A strong president prevents wars.

Haley continued the speech by underscoring the importance of party unity and slamming President Joe Biden’s record on Iran, Afghanistan, and a range of other topics. Haley was not initially invited to speak at the RNC, but was a last-minute addition to the schedule, which left many observers wondering how she would be received by the MAGA crowd.
