Nikki Haley says she will vote for Donald Trump

Nikki Haley’s voters may not be voting for Donald Trump just yet, but the former candidate herself says she’s ready to pull the lever.

The former South Carolina governor, who ran for president earlier this year before bowing out after Super Tuesday, told the DC-based conservative Hudson Institute think tank on Wednesday that she would vote for Trump in November.

"I will be voting for Trump," said Haley.

The ex-president’s last remaining primary challenger before she too dropped out, Haley was the only Republican to be even slightly competitive against Trump during the campaign and out of those who remained in the race as votes were cast, was the only one who had not endorsed him.
