(TheProudRepublic.com) – Despite suspending her presidential bid in March, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley significantly impacted Indiana’s GOP primary, where she amassеd over 128,000 votes.
While former President Donald Trump decisivеly won the primary with 78.3% of the vote, Haley still garnered a noteworthy share with 21.7%.
Moreover, her strong showing in Indiana follows similar performancеs in other primaries, which included Pennsylvania, where she collected over 150,000 votes.
In her address announcing the suspension of her campaign, Haley refrained from endorsing Trump, instead she emphasized that it was up to him to win over her supporters.
“At its best, politics is about bringing people into your cause, not turning them away. And our conservative cause badly needs more people. This is now his time for choosing.“ Haley remarked.
Biden and his campaign have made moves to try to woo Haley voters because it appears many GOP voters are dissatisfied with his opponent.
“Donald Trump made it clear he doesn’t want Nikki Haley’s supporters,” Biden said in March. “I want to be clear: There is a place for them in my campaign.”
In a bid to sway Haley’s voters, the Biden campaign released an advertisement featuring Trump’s criticism of Haley during the GOP presidential primary, cautioning, “If you voted for Nikki Haley, Donald Trump doesn’t want your vote.”
After her race exit, Halеy announced her affiliation with the conservative think tank Hudson Institute as the Walter P. Stern chair.
She emphasized the importance of Hudson’s work in safeguarding America’s interests and promoting global security and prosperity.
“I look forward to partnering with them to defend the principles that make America the greatest country in the world,” Haley expressed.
