Nikki Haley, who campaigned on ending the “chaos” that follows Donald Trump, found herself in a strange position as the former president’s legal troubles exploded on Thursday.
Haley offered her long-sought backing of Trump just eight days before a 12-member New York jury found him guilty of 34 criminal counts of falsifying business records that could potentially carry up to four years in prison.
While other Trump 2024 rivals and vice presidential contenders have rushed to back the former president, Haley has yet to say a word as of Friday afternoon.
Since she dropped out of the race for the presidential nomination, she has continued to be a thorn in Trump’s side, amassing 97 delegates compared to Trump’s 2,219 delegates, according to the Associated Press.
Now some of her most ardent supporters suggest this is the moment for Haley to restart her campaign as a credible alternative to a convicted felon as the GOP nominee ...

I knew her sudden "endorsement" wasn't sincere.
Fans = democrats
Haley should announce she is running against dead South Carolina soldiers.
She did it once before.
Throw up sick.
Go away, Nikita.
Who got to the Washington Times?
Now some of her most ardent supporters...
All four of them.
The Convention date needs to be changed to before sentencing date, say July 4th...It can be done and should be.
There will be no jail time.
.
As of this afternoon, Lindsey Graham also has been silent.
Waiting for his DS orders.
That dog just won’t hunt. Even if jailed we will vote for Trump. PERIOD!
That is why Merchan picked that date, so that he will send Trump to jail and there will be no one at the convention to nominate..and here swoops in Nikki Haley saying “Here I am vote for me”
Yes that’s one of the problems with Americans these days. We have all become “fans” of something or other. It’s a Hollyweird world.
ya kidding, he is gonna sentence Trump to the maximum he’s been waiting 6 weeks to do this
Nimrod DUH doesn’t have a future in the Republican party
Ha. True.
She is probably the most beloved former candidate since Pence. As popular as a porcupine visiting a helium balloon concession at a festival.🎈🎈
Really ?
Do you think NY illegally charged then convicted Trump for an expired misdemeanor charge which morphed into a felony for another unnamed and uncharged crime just to have him go on probation ?
The wash times was turned awhile ago it is as bad as the others now
Now that’s funny. Nimarata Nikki Randhawa has no ability to read the room or the Republican base. The latest Romney clone is anathema, no traction, no chance no connection to America just naked hunger for power over the serfs.
Nikki Haley has very few delegates. Even if Trump withdrew she will still have no more delegates and his delegates seated at the convention do not get withdrawn. So "restarting her campaign" makes no sense. She has no campaign - she has not enough delegates to make any difference.
If hypothetically Trump did withdraw, he should direct his delegates to nominate Donald Trump Jr. They are his delegates - he should have a backup plan in place of his own choosing.
