Donald Trump's former rivals for the presidential nomination, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, supported his candidacy during the US Republican Party convention.
This was reported by The Guardian.
In particular, Haley said that Trump “has my strong support, period,” adding that she was appealing to those “who do not agree with Donald Trump 100%.”
“You don't have to agree with Trump 100% to vote for him. Believe me. I have not always agreed with President Trump. But we agree more often than we disagree,” she said.
Haley also pointed out that under Trump's presidency, Kremlin ruler Vladimir Putin did not attack Ukraine “because he knew Donald Trump was strong.”
DeSantis also made it clear that he supports Trump: “Let's retire Joe Biden and put Donald Trump back in the White House.”
Only a few months ago, Haley and DeSantis were the most prominent Republicans criticizing Trump. For example, in January, Haley said that the former president “created chaos” and showed that the head of the United States “must have moral integrity and know the difference between right and wrong.”
