The former GOP presidential candidate announced in May that she will be voting for former President Trump.

Former GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley announced on July 9 that she is releasing her 97 delegates and urging them to support former President Donald Trump.

The move comes days before the Republican National Convention when the 45th president is set to be nominated as the partyโ€™s 2024 presidential candidate.

โ€œThe nominating convention is a time for Republican unity,โ€ said Ms. Haley in a statement.

โ€œWe need a president who will hold our enemies to account, secure our border, cut our debt, and get our economy back on track,โ€ said the former South Carolina governor and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

Ms. Haley went on to call on her delegates to back former President Trump at the Republican National Convention, which will be held July 15โ€“18 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Politico first reported the news.

The former candidate will not be attending the convention.

โ€œShe was not invited, and sheโ€™s fine with that,โ€ Ms. Haleyโ€™s spokesperson, Chaney Denton, told The Epoch Times.

โ€œTrump deserves the convention he wants,โ€ Ms. Denton said. โ€œSheโ€™s made it clear sheโ€™s voting for him and wishes him the best.โ€

In May, a few months after suspending her presidential campaign, Ms. Haley announced she will be voting for former President Trump.

She said that she wants a โ€œpresident who would support capitalism and freedom. A president who understands we need less debt, not more debt.โ€ While former President Trump โ€œhas not been perfect on these policies,โ€ she said, he is preferable to President Joe Biden.

Ms. Haley also urged the GOP frontrunner to โ€œreach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me and not assume that theyโ€™re just going to be with him.โ€

After dropping out of the race in March, Ms. Haley continued to receive a notable share of votes in Republican primaries around the country. She notched 20 percent of the vote in the primaries in Maryland, 18 percent in Nebraska, and 22 percent in Indiana.
