Former U.N. Ambassador and Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley will speak Tuesday at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
It’s a highly anticipated speech by former President Donald Trump’s last major challenger in this year’s GOP Primary.
The announcement Sunday came one day after a shooter opened fire at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in what law enforcement is investigating as an attempted assassination. Trump said the upper part of his right ear was pierced in the shooting.
Haley, who was also elected twice as South Carolina Governor, was added to the schedule after she was initially not among the list of speakers, according to Haley spokesperson Chaney Denton. The schedule change was confirmed by a Republican official familiar with the convention plans but not authorized to speak publicly.
Last week, Denton said the former South Carolina Governor was not invited to the convention. Nevertheless, Haley is instructing her delegates to vote for Trump and issued a public call for party unity.
During the Primary, Haley accused Trump of causing chaos and disregarding the importance of U.S. alliances abroad. When she dropped out in early March, Haley did not endorse the former President; instead, she waited more than two months before she said she planned to vote for him.
Trump, in turn, repeatedly mocked her with the nickname “Birdbrain,” though he curtailed his criticism after securing enough delegates in March to become the presumptive Republican nominee.

Nikki Haley was Republican’s ONLY CHANCE at winning the 2024 election. Instead Republicans selected a twice impeached, four time felony indicted lying birther fraud who has trashed anyone opposed to his leadership regardless of Party affiliation. This attempted assassination has taught Americans one thing;
Republicans are incapable of controlling members of their own Party …… and are definitely unqualified to govern the USA.
REPUBLICANS ARE AMERICA’S WORST ENEMY!
VOTE ALL REPUBLICANS OUT OF OFFICE!

Me thinks Peter H is beginning to run scared as he sees it’s quite possible that Trump might be his next President. Of course he will probably claim that he will leave the country if that in fact does happen. Then again just like the Hollywood elites, he is full of it. Then again there is always the People’s Rwpublic of Kalifornia for Peter H. Bye Pete.

Pay close attention to Trump’s RNC speech that he changed after HE got shot. President Trump will be the one to end people using professional grade weapons for mass shootings in USA. He alone can do it.
He will signal in his speech to everyone willing to listen that he’s going to do something about the USA’s whopping gun violence problem, but he’ll have to say it on the down low so as not to alienate his 2A voters before he gets their votes that he still needs from them.

What we are going to do, Dook 4 Brains PeterH, is to have Nikki & Marco stand together on stage at The Sage RNC and introduce our Next VPOTUS, RON THE RONALD DESANTIS, and of course his Lovely Wife Casey, as the next VPOTUS and Second Lady.
Period. End of Story,

Pops, it’s over. Nobody nowhere talks about Ron DeSantis anymore outside Florida where he is only complained about.

I’m hoping that Ka Mana picks a
Squad member as her VP candidate. This is the future of the Democrap party. Bring on Cory, AOC, Ilhan, Pramila, or Rashida. Let’s do this.

I see that Miss Spoke has yet another persona? Speaking of misogony:
There is no way that any woman (other than Ivanka) would ever occupy a place of power next to the convicted felon. Secretary Haley is no docile door mat like Vice Poodle Pence or saccharine boot licker like JD Vance.

Well Ka Mana is definitely a licker. Not necessarily a boot licker but you know what she licks Michael K. Let’s ask Willie.🤣

She’d get him votes but she’d give him headaches.

Haley wasn’t on the guest list for the same reason Trump wasn’t on the guest list. She’s an honoree. She’s his VP.

Is that’s the case, as I expect, he’s all ours for another four years.
