Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley made one last push to show her support for former President Donald Trump, calling him “clearly the better choice” over Vice President Kamala Harris.
In an op-ed published in The Wall Street Journal Sunday, Ms. Haley, who ran against Mr. Trump for the Republican nomination before dropping out, said she doesn’t “agree with Mr. Trump 100% of the time. But I do agree with him most of the time, and I disagree with Ms. Harris nearly all the time.
“That makes this an easy call. Here are the facts most relevant to me.”
She focused on inflation and the economy, saying Ms. Harris “would make America’s fiscal crisis even worse.”
Ms. Haley, who was U.N. ambassador during the Trump presidency, said the “Biden-Harris agenda has made the world far more dangerous.”
She mentioned 2021’s deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Russia-Ukraine war, Iran and China as part of the “world that Biden-Harris failures have given us in four short years” and that global affairs wouldn’t improve if Ms. Harris were president.
“A Trump administration would be different. It wouldn’t be perfect,” Ms. Haley said, yet noted that the country was “stronger” under the former president.
“No politician gets everything right. For those of us clear-eyed enough to see Mr. Trump’s flaws and honest enough to acknowledge them, the question is whether we’re better off with his policies or his opponent’s,” she said.
For all those reasons, she said the decision of whom to support is “an easy call.”
After dropping out of the GOP race in March, she was slow to back Mr. Trump but ultimately announced her endorsement. She spoke his praises at the Republican National Convention in July.
