Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley backtracked on a previous pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee for president during an appearance on NBC's 'Meet the Press.'
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley questioned whether former President Donald Trump would follow the Constitution if elected again and refused to say whether she would support him in the general election. 'I don't know,' Haley said during an appearance on NBC's 'Meet the Press' Sunday, where she was asked if she believed Trump would follow the Constitution if elected. 'When you go and you talk about revenge. When you go and you talk about, you know, vindication.
That vow came despite Haley losing her home state of South Carolina last month, with the candidate instead looking ahead to 'Super Tuesday' on March 5 and the over 800 delegates up for grabs on the primary season's most important day. Washington, D.C.'s GOP primary, which is held over three days this weekend, is also seen as a potential pickup for Haley, with Trump having come in a distant third in the district the last time he ran contested in the 2016 primary.
With Trump's status as the clear frontrunner in seemingly little danger, Haley was pressed on whether she planned to support the former president if he secures the GOP nomination, something the former South Carolina governor refused to commit to despite an earlier pledge. 'If you talk about an endorsement, you're talking about a loss. I don't think like that.
