Nikki Haley Biography Flash a weekly Biography. The past few days in the world of Nikki Haley have been anything but quiet and, true to her style, intensely consequential. Just this week, Haley made major headlines by officially declaring she will vote for Donald Trump in November, ending months of suspense over whether the GOP’s last major primary challenger would support her former boss. She announced her decision at a Hudson Institute event in Washington, saying Trump “has not been perfect,” but labeling President Biden “a catastrophe,” painting her choice as one rooted in national security, border policy, and economic concerns, according to coverage from Bakersfield Now and echoed by ABC News and numerous other outlets.
