Nikki Haley offers her ‘strong endorsement’ of Trump in convention speech

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley endorsed Donald Trump’s campaign Tuesday night in her Republican National Convention speech, her latest step toward embracing her former rival and unifying the party after their bitter presidential primary.

“I’ll start by making one thing perfectly clear: Donald Trump has my strong endorsement, period,” Haley said Tuesday.

As Trump watched on from the convention center’s VIP suite, Haley used her speech to defend the former president’s foreign policy record and speak directly to voters who disagree with him on certain issues.
