Soon after former GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley announced Wednesday she would vote for former President Donald Trump this November, the Biden campaign held a virtual meeting with her supporters on that very evening.
Several Haley supporters, including some of her former state leadership team and members of the "Women for Nikki" coalition, joined the call from across the country. The meeting was arranged by Richard Schwartz, the executive director of the anti-Trump Haley Voters Working Group.
The deputy political director of the Biden campaign, Juan Peñalosa, joined the call to stress how important the Haley coalition's support would be to defeating Trump and addressed the differences Haley supporters have with Mr. Biden, according to Schwartz. He said that while some of Haley's voters might be open to voting for the president, there are strong policy disagreements.
