Milwaukee: Indian-origin former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, who was the last Republican competing against ex-US President Donald Trump for the November presidential election, strongly endorsed the party nominee for the upcoming elections in a show of unity at the second day of the Republican National Convention. “I will start by making one thing perfectly clear. Donald Trump has my strong endorsement,” she said in her opening remarks.
The 52-year-old Republican never seriously challenged the former president for the party’s presidential nomination, winning only one state and the District of Columbia before ending her campaign. However, her fierce attacks on his character and competence in the final months of her campaign made Haley the standard bearer for the dwindling anti-Trump wing of the Republican Party.
