Haley announces she will be traveling to Israel soon to show support and figure out what’s going on on the ground.
🚨Haley: “I will be voting for Trump. Having said that, I stand by what I said in my suspension speech. Trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me and not assume that they're just going to be with him."
Haley says she wants a president who backs allies and holds enemies to account, secures the border, supports capitalism, and understands need for less debt.
“Trump has not been perfect on these policies. I've made that clear many, many times. But Biden has been a catastrophe.”
