Ex-rival Haley stays distant from Trump despite offering campaign support
**Nikki Haley** showed strongest performance among Trumps primary challengers this election year. While stating shell vote for him and freeing her delegates the ex-candidate keeps low profile in campaign
Nikki Haley stands-out as the top vote-getter among those who ran against Trump in this years Republican primaries. While shes confirmed her intention to vote for him and let-go of her delegates for the upcoming Republican convention her involvement in the campaign remains limited
Unlike fellow ex-candidates Vivek Ramaswamy and Doug Burgum (the North Dakota governor) who actively support Trump at rallies; Haley keeps her distance from the campaign trail. Sources close to the situation say shes provided the Trump team with her availability dates: however no joint-appearances have been arranged yet
The contrast between Haleys record-setting primary performance and her current low-profile stance highlights the complex dynamics within the Republican party. Her delegates are now free to back Trump at the convention — a move that shows formal support but doesnt translate into active campaigning
