Nikki Haley, Donald Trump's final major challenger in the presidential primary, will now speak at the GOP convention, a person familiar with the decision said. Haley wasn't included in the original program, and a representative for Haley previously said she wasn't invited. But with Saturday's shooting, Republicans have called for unity and the image of her attending the convention will buttress that, the person said.

A spokeswoman for Haley didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday.

The attempted assassination of Donald Trump all but sealed his victory at the polls:

The attempted assassination of Donald Trump all but sealed his victory at the polls in November, veteran former Clinton campaign consultant Dick Morris said Sunday.

Trump’s escape from death with courageous bravado comes as some Democratic heavyweights have called for President Biden, 81, to bow out of the presidential race because of mental and physical issues.

“Functionally, the race is over,” Morris said on his WABC podcast. “[Trump] wins if he lives. … There’s nothing that can get into Trump’s path except a bullet.

I think this is what Trump wanted..he told the RNC to invite her..so if this is what Trump wants Im fine with it..after what happened yesterday I think Trump has a new perspective on everything..he came so close to dying he wants unity, even if its with someone like Haley

I suppose Nikki Haley is disappointed. Trump gone, open convention, shoo-in.

Will they be adding Bush Jr. next?

I noted the other day that Reince Priebus was involved and speaking. Guess Lara Trump doesn't didn't fire enough people and have a firm enough grip on the convention after all.

Here is the previously announced list: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4250971/posts

I will watch her, and the other speakers.

I know we hate Nikki Haley here on Free Republic, but, she’s part of the Republican party, even though we hate her. She has supporters in the GOP, even though those supporters are not on this site.

So disappointed that they need to make sure to frisk her when she enters the room.

I hope they vet her speech. She might go off the rails.

Generally they have to submit their speeches for approval.

If she goes off the rails they should cut her mike , and hopefully there’s a setup to do that.

Have a drink on me while you suffer through her BS remarks. I’m old, and don’t have time to waste watching someone like her. Too many other things to enjoy in life before my time is up. Besides, people will comment on it here anyway, which I can then review later.

As long as it’s just for optics, I guess it’s not that big of a deal. But if any of these establishment RINOs are offered POSITIONS in a second Trump administration, THAT would be cause for concern.

Wife made a good observation:

Usually it's the Democrats who are in lock-step and the Republicans are splintered.

With the Dems (uncharacteristically) split over Biden support, it's a good time for the Repubs to have a united front.

Did Nikki piss me off? Sure, so has just about every human on this planet at one time or another....
