Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, who is Donald Trump’s last remaining serious 2024 primary contender, claimed during a CNN interview on Monday she will “beat” him and win the Republican nomination later this year.
“So obviously, you’re running in South Carolina, and you’ve told me that you plan to be around. Well, obviously, you want to be the nominee and then the president, but you’re going to be around at least until Super Tuesday,” host Jake Tapper said. “If the unthinkable happens in your view and you do not win, will it be difficult to support Trump as the Republican Party’s nominee, given what you think about him quite obviously?”
“Well, first, I think that you need to know that I am going to beat President Trump. But you should ask him if it’ll be difficult for him to support me?” Haley said in response.
“He didn’t sign the GOP pledge in 2016. I don’t think — and he certainly [is] not signing it now. So I am I’m sure he would say no. But I guess you’re not going to commit to voting for him if he becomes the nominee?” Tapper asked.
