Its happening i mean, just days after cnn exclusively obtained a 2016 video showing the Rapper Kicking and dragging his then girlfriend welcome to our viewers here in the United States and around the world. I will flick their urine the Situation Room the skis, cnn, Breaking News first up tonight, the Breaking News more than two months after dropping out of the republican president ial race, nikki haley now says she will be voted for donald trump in remember that she urges him to do more to reach out to her supporters. Lets bring in cnns kylie out would follow the Haley Campaign during the gop primaries kylie, how is haley explaining this . Well, she put it pretty clearly today. She said that former President Trump is simply the better option over president joe biden. She made it very clear that she personally will be voting for him, and she also said that this is a situation where hes going to have to continue to earn the support of her voters. Now, we should note wolf that when she dropped out of the race, she was running against the former president in the primary. She did not lucidly endorsed former President Trump and it got pretty heated between the two of them on the campaign tries to recall at one point, she said trump was not qualified to be president because of the way that he had talked about military families. She said military families couldnt trust him to keep their loved ones out of harms way. So there were some significant in jobs that were traded between the two of them. They still have not spoken since you dropped out of the race . More than two months ago now, but today, making it clear that she personally is going to be voting for him in november. Listen to what she said. Its good to be as of voter i put my priorities on a president whos going to have the backs of our allies. And hold our enemies to account who would secure the border . No more excuses. A president who would support Capitalism And Freedom A president who understands we need less debt, not more debt trump has not been perfect on these policies. Ive made that clear many, many times but biden has been a catastrophe so 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 continued to support me and not assume that theyre just going to be with him and i genuinely hope he does that now both even after dropping out of the race, there were states in the primary where there were voters who voted for nikki haley in some states, she was able to garner close to 20 of the vote. So it is clear that even though the Republican Party has clearly coalesce behind former President Trump and she is doing that even further today. There are still voters out there who wanted haley, who are making a protest vote and she is saying that the former president is going to have to reach out to them. Now, the question remains, will former President Trump make a phone call to nikki haley . They still havent talked and will she do any campaigning on his behalf if shes asked to well, kylie out with reporting frehse, kylie. Thank you very much. Im gonna get some Quick Reaction to nikki, haleys dramatic announcement from the trump world for that, i want to bring in cnns Kristen Holmes, who has been working her sources over there. Kristen, how will this play . Well, thats really interesting, and thats the big question here. I mean, despite the fact that nikki haley and trump had this somewhat bitter and personal rivalry, ill remind you that he called her names. Thats certain point he made fun of her husband and his military service. Now you see her really falling in line behind them. A pattern that weve seen from republicans since 20 16, with these fuse between donald trump and other republicans and then them eventually saying that they would come out and vote for donald trump. Now the interesting part here is, as kylie mentioned, whether or not this actually moves the needle with these protests, voters, with these haley supporters, i will remind you, we showed a list there of some of the states in which haley really outperform what she should have given the fact that she was had dropped out of the race, pennsylvania really being the key one. This was over a month after she dropped out. Pennsylvania is a state that is considered completely purple. It is a Battleground State and one that the trump team wants. She got over 16 of Pennsylvania Republican voters. That is a huge number and others still republicans who believed that these nikki haley supporters are critical for donald trump. There, even republicans that are in Donald Trumps immediate circle who have suggested that he reached out to her, who have suggested that he even consider her for Vice President. Now, that is something that he himself has almost completely lately ruled out. He said that on social media that he would not be considering her for Vice President. We have yet to hear any reaction from trump or his team on nikki haley saying she would vote for him. I will remind you, hes currently in texas attending a series of fundraisers with these oil and energy executives. Will Kristen Holmes reported in kristen, thank you very much. Lets get someone else. Lets just from our political experts said, let me start with david chilean, or political director are how significant is this nikki Haley Endorsement of trump . Was a Significant Development because she did something she hasnt done before, which is publicly say in with him and im gonna vote for donald trump i dont think this is a terribly surprising development. I dont think there was anywhere else for nikki haley, the land in this race, if she wanted to preserve any kind of future in the Republican Party, its Donald TrumpsRepublican Party and hes remade it in his image. So i think the political calculation was always sort of inevitable that wed get here. But i do think it is interesting because she she said that biden would be a catastrophe and yes trump isnt been perfect on these things. That is very different from when she talked to dana bash in New Hampshire and she said, these guys are equally bad. She clearly has moved in her calculation on that as she made this decision about who she was, country certainly hasnt. And gloria, i want to remind our viewers of some of the things that nikki haley use to say use to say about donald trump. Listen to this, the tape. The other day, donald trump accused me of not providing security at the capital on january no i have long called for Mental Competency Test for politicians over the age of 75, chaos follows him and we cant have a country in disarray in a world on fire and go through four more years of chaos. We wont survive it. I feel no need to kiss the ring i have no fear of trumps retribution. Thats the chaos that comes with donald trump. Thats the offensiveness. Is going to happen every day between now and the general election, which is why continue to say hey donald trump cannot win a general election. He wont gloria, whats your reaction here you go. Never mind, right . I mean, look, today, her endorsement was not exactly what i would call fullthroated. She did not tell her voters, youve got to vote for donald trump. Number one number two, it wasnt in her speech. It came in reaction at the end of her speech when somebody asked her a question, who youre going to endorse, and then she went into her spiel about it so this is a candidate who called donald trump on hinged and Everything Else that you just showed so i dont think theyre ever going to be great buddies, but i think she wants to have a future in the report. Public party. And if she wants to have a future and the Republican Party, this was the only choice for her as david was saying, yeah, good point you to scott jennings. Haley said trump would be smart to reach out to the people who voted for her even though she had dropped out of the republican primaries, haley did win votes from a significant amount of republican voters, including an key Battleground States like arizona pennsylvania, and wisconsin, how much is this endorsement endorsement realistically help bring haley voters over to trump . I think the endorsement itself doesnt bring that may voters, but i think her doing it today ought to be a flashing red id like to the Biden Campaign about how much their outreach to these voters is failing. And im just over the last few weeks, i have heard from a ton of people who never liked donald trump supported nikki haley, who are saying things like, im radicalized all, all of a sudden because of how mortified i am about joe biden. I feel like todays Haley Endorsement fits this pattern of republicans whove just never really been trump, people who were saying i would rather do this than by that ought to send shivers down the spines of people who thought biden was going to be able to attract these folks. Do you think suddenly theyre going to accept donald trump . They are currently accepting him because of biden on you name it, student loans, israel, you go down the line. They are currently accepting it into their hearts because of how much they do not like this president maria did the Biden Campaign in prison biden for that matter, make a mistake and not more assertively, aggressively going after the nikki haley voters. Oh, theyve been pretty assertive wolf and this is one of the things because i wanted to point out and underscore in this conversation of the two candidates between joe biden and donald trump. Only joe biden has actually welcomed nikki haleys voters to his campaign. They have run ads in Battleground States to these voters about all of the issues that those voters care about to win man, to independence, to moderates. They are having backchannel conversations with nikki haleys donors. I actually disagree a little bit with my friends scott here because i have heard from a lot of those voters as well. And youre amazing cnns amazing reporters have been on the ground talking to a lot of the folks who wanted to vote from nikki haley . Yes. Some of them say yeah, i guess im going to think about voting for donald trump, but many more have said there is no way in hell i will vote for donald trump if nikki haley is not the candidate. And the fact that theres so much support for her, even as she left the race, i think should be chilling. And is a huge challenge. Nikki haley uncovered a huge deficit for donald trump that he has done absolutely nothing to try to fix. So you think its bad that nikki haley endorse donald trump, you think thats bad for trump i think i dont think it was actually a full throat and endorsement. If that wasnt endorsement then yeah, i actually dont think its good for him and endorsement means get a look. Voters, people who voted for me go out and vote for this person. Im going to go campaign for this person. Im gonna go raise money for this reaction, gave him that they still come. This is step one but she still wants to have a future in the party when she got out of the race and we had all this conversation about the halo voters. We always i think like any right analysis of this would say the vast preponderance of those voters voting in the Republican Party are likely to return home to the republican nominee, kinda like nikki haley just did. Now beyond just her statewide totals, whats so interesting is if you go inside the states where she even did more business, got more votes than she did statewide. Or in the suburban areas, its not just that we didnt arizona. What. She did america county, its what you did in the files suburbs. I think that is still on the todo list of donald trump, of making sure those voters are part of his coalition he does need those voters that i dont i agree with scott. Im not sure this automatically brings those voters, but clearly, this is one of the best pieces of political news that the trump team has had in quite some time. The last holdout from his rivals saying is getting the national its the National Security voters she was a National Security candidate, a traditional reagan National Security candidate. And i think a lot of the people who were voting for her for those reasons have recently become very, very happy with she was though she was also somebody who gave the Republican Party hope that the Republican Party can make a dent on the issue of choice because according to ladder republicans, i didnt agree. My dear your friend alice, are different. Alice always talked about this that nikki haley actually talk to republicans in a much more centered, nuanced way about the issue of choice. She is now not i mean, shes still might do that but donald trump certainly wont. Hes already talked about some ways that are going to continue to tell those voters. This is not a party for you i dont want to give women the right to make decisions. Big question for donald trump is, and we might know the answer to this is, can he be magnanimous well, we know the answer now that she has made the first overture and i dont think it was fullthroated, but it she said she is endorsing him. Thats plenty will he now say thank you, nikki haley doesnt have to say shes going to be as Vice President , but will he come out and put his arm around her and say, thank you very much. And i hope youre voting well see smart he would, but he hasnt thus far in joe biden. Well its only point out. I will point out that earlier this month to david, you remember this trump posted this nikki haley is not under consideration for the vp slop, but i wish her well well, that was yeah. Yeah i wish her well, maybe was the entree like harvey, listen, joe biden doesnt need all of nikki haley voters. He needs some slice of them and there are probably some of them that are still within reach. But today, she showed that shes in trumps can scott this has been a bumpy week as we all know, a couple of weeks for trump, given his trial in new york and all of that so why do you think shes making this endorsement now . Yeah. Im with glory. It didnt seem like it was planned for today. It felt like it was in response to something. But look, the campaign is short. I mean, were already here in may. We were convictions are coming up. I mean, eventually, if you want to be seen in your party as being part of the winning team and go in for the big time. Such touchdown. You, you gotta get on the field at some point now is as good a time as any the campaign is all weve got debates on the schedule. Its time for people to lose out there alone. Also, Everyone Else had done endorsed him. It was time for her to do something that you did that today buddy. Thank you very, very much. Just just ahead.
