In the on-going Republican primary season Nikki Haley made a strong showing - getting more votes than any other candidate who tried to beat Donald Trump. While shes confirmed her plan to vote for the front-runner and let her delegates back him at the convention‚ her campaign support looks different from other ex-rivals
Unlike Vivek Ramaswamy and Doug Burgum (the North Dakota governor) who jumped right into supporting Trump at events - Haley hasnt been seen on the campaign trail with him. A source close to the situation says theres an interesting twist: Haleys team gave Trumps campaign a list of dates when she could help but nothing has been set-up yet
- Vivek Ramaswamy: Active campaign supporter
- Doug Burgum: Joins Trump events
- Nikki Haley: Offered dates; no appearances scheduled
The situation shows a complex dynamic between the former rivals - while Haley signaled her willingness to support the presumptive nominee‚ the actual collaboration remains in a stand-by mode
