Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley will finally speak at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. She will take the stage on Tuesday, according to her spokesperson.
Haley has taken the first steps toward endorsing Trump, and her speech at the RNC would represent a complete surrender to Trump’s dominance of the party.
Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley served as United Nations Ambassador under Trump before challenging him for the Republican nomination.
When she dropped out of the race earlier this year, Haley said she wasn’t sure whether she would support Trump. She later announced that she planned to vote for him.
Last week, Haley released his list of 97 delegates and encouraged them to vote for him at the convention.
At the time, a spokesperson said Haley was not invited and was “fine with it,” but wished Trump luck. Two sources familiar with her plans now say Haley WILL speak at the RNC.
After Trump survived an assassination attempt on Saturday, Haley expressed her horror at the attack and said she was “praying for Donald Trump…”.
