Nikki Haley is releasing the delegates she won during this year’s Republican primary so they can be available to support Donald Trump at next week’s Republican National Convention (RNC), a move that will help the former president receive even more GOP support.

According to Haley’s former campaign, she opted to release her 97 delegates that she won across a dozen primaries and caucuses earlier this year. 

In a statement, the former United Nations ambassador called for party unity at the upcoming (RNC) meeting in Milwaukee. Haley also said that President Joe Biden is “not competent to serve a second term” and asserted that Vice President Kamala Harris “would be a disaster for America.”

“We need a president who will hold our enemies to account, secure our borders, cut our debt, and get our economy back on track,” Haley said. “I encourage my delegates to support Donald Trump next week in Milwaukee.”

However, Haley herself will not be in Milwaukee next week, according to spokesperson Chaney Denton.

“She was not invited, and she’s fine with that,” Denton said. “Trump deserves the convention he wants. She’s made it clear she’s voting for him and wishes him the best.”

During her campaign, Haley accused Trump of prompting chaos and disregarding the importance of alliances with other nations abroad.

In response, the former president called her a “Birdbrain,” though he stopped those attacks after securing enough delegates in March to become the presumptive Republican nominee.

Meanwhile, Trump’s 2024 campaign has not commented on Haley’s latest move.

Biden’s campaign has been working to win over her supporters, who they view as swing voters. Haley also said in May that she would be voting for the 45th president and would leave it up to him to win over her supporters.

“We Cannot Leave This to Chance” — RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump Tells Republicans to Vote Early

"'Bank your vote' is what we say. Get out there, vote as early as you can, and in whatever way you can and then use your time from that day up until Election Day to take people with you because we cannot leave this to chance," said Republican National Committee Co-Chair Lara Trump to reporter Hannah Knudsen on Friday at the TPUSA Young Women's Leadership Summit in San Antonio, Texas.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) formally elected Michael Whatley as its new head and Lara Trump as the co-chair on Friday. The vote solidified former president Donald Trump’s wishes to reshape RNC leadership as he looks to the November election.

During the RNC’s leadership meetings in Houston, Texas, officials chose to replace outgoing chair Ronna McDaniel, a decision that many Republicans were ecstatic about.

Whatley promised the RNC that he “will be focused like a laser on getting out the vote and protecting the ballot” in a speech to members.

“In less than eight months, we are going to determine the fate of not only the United States but of the entire world,” Whatley said. “And this body, the RNC, is going to be the vanguard of a movement that will work tirelessly, every single day to elect our nominee Donald J. Trump as the 47th president of the United States, flip the Senate, expand our majority in the House of Representatives.”

Whatley is a Trump supporter who has held positions as General Counsel of the RNC and head of the North Carolina GOP. Following the 2020 election, which Trump has repeatedly said was manipulated, Whatley has repeated the former president’s assertions regarding “election integrity.”

During a 2021 panel discussion on “protecting elections” at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Whatley talked extensively about his attempts to gather hundreds of attorneys and volunteer vote watchers in North Carolina. Additionally, he has expressed skepticism regarding absentee and mail-in voting, unless they are combined with voter ID laws.

As the new co-chair, Lara Trump will be heavily involved in fundraising. Ahead of what promises to be a protracted and brutal general election campaign, the RNC has trailed behind Democrats in terms of cash inflow over the last twelve months.

While speaking to members of the RNC committee on Friday, Lara joyfully mentioned that the organization had already received a $100,000 check and she emphasized the value of early voting and fundraising.

“We’ve got to play the game a little bit differently. We have to encourage people to do things like early voting,” she said. 

Top Trump campaign advisor Chris LaCivita, who is joining the RNC to manage day-to-day operations, rejected the notion that the RNC would pay for Trump’s legal fees.

“The fact of the matter is not a penny of the RNC’s money or, for that matter, the campaign’s money has gone or will go to pay legal fees,” LaCivita told The Associated Press.
