Nikki Haley Hints Trump Is Trying To Steal Election With His RNC Picks

Trump has endorsed daughter-in-law Lara Trump and former campaign adviser Michael Whatley for top posts at the Republican National Committee.
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley hinted Tuesday that Donald Trump is trying to influence this year’s election results by promoting his former campaign adviser and daughter-in-law for top posts at the Republican National Committee.
The former South Carolina governor, who was U.N. ambassador in the Trump Cabinet, made the suggestion a day after Trump endorsed his onetime campaign adviser as the next chair of the RNC and his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, as co-chair.
“Think about what’s happening right now,” Haley said at a campaign event in her hometown of Bamberg, South Carolina. “Is that how you’re going to try and take an election?”
Lara Trump, who’s married to Eric Trump, and Whatley are supporters of the former president’s baseless conspiracy theory that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
Longtime RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel is reportedly stepping down under pressure from Trump, who’s publicly said he wants a change in party leadership. But when reached for comment last week, an RNC spokesperson said: “Nothing has changed. This will be decided after South Carolina.”
