Some want to see former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley assume a more prominent role in Donald J. Trump’s campaign in the closing weeks and the GOP nominee reacted to their pressure.

Haley, a darling of the warmongers, ran a vicious campaign against Trump and stayed in the race despite a string of primary losses, finally dropping out after a humiliating drubbing in her home state of South Carolina and eventually endorsing him despite her harsh criticism.

Trump seems to be cool on the idea of deploying the former South Carolina governor and US ambassador to the United Nations to appeal to female voters who are likely to support Kamala Harris against their own economic self-interests, and he was asked about the calls to trot her out during a Friday “Fox & Friends” appearance.

“There’s a segment of the Republican Party that likes Nikki Haley and they are reluctant to jump into your column, she wants to help, she said if he calls me I’m there,” asked co-host Brian Kilmeade. “In the last eighteen days will you call her and say come out with me?”

“Yeah, I’ll do what I have to do,” Trump responded.

“Let me just tell you, Nikki Haley and I fought, and I beat her by fifty, sixty, ninety points. I beat her in her own state by numbers that nobody’s ever been beaten by. I beat Nikki badly,” he said.

“I beat everyone else, too — badly… I mean frankly, I set records, both in speed and in the magnitude of the win and everybody keeps saying that. They don’t say get Ron and Ron did very well,” he added, referring to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

“But again, I beat everybody by numbers that have never happened before,” Trump continued. “And they keep talking about Nikki, Nikki. I like Nikki. Nikki, I don’t think, should have done what she did, and that’s fine that she did it. But even in her own state — in South Carolina, where she was the governor, I beat her by a number that nobody ever heard…by fifty points or something.”

“And then they say, ‘Oh when is Nikki coming back in?’ Nikki is in. Nikki is helping us already,” he said.

The neocon website The Bulwark reported that Trump’s campaign team is “in talks” with Haley to get her to help him with outreach to female voters in the final weeks before the election.

“The details and dates for the joint appearance haven’t been fully worked out, but the likeliest scenario would put the two together at a town hall toward the end of the month, perhaps involving Fox News personality Sean Hannity, the sources said,” according to the outlet.

“I have not forgotten what he said about me. I’ve not forgotten what he said about my husband or his, you know, deployment time or his military service. I haven’t forgotten about his or his campaign’s tactics from, you know, putting a bird cage outside our hotel room to calling me ‘bird brain,’” Haley said on a recent episode of her new SiriusXM radio show.

The former GOP presidential candidate also said that she supports Trump because he “will make the country better.”
