Nikki Haley says she hasn't talked to Trump since June but is on 'standby'
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley told Fox News' Bret Baier on Tuesday evening that she hasn’t spoken with former President Donald Trump since June — but she's prepared to support his campaign, if asked.
“Last time I talked to him was back in June,” Haley said. “They're very aware that we're on standby. They know that we would be there to help.”
“But look, we're on the same team," Haley continued. "It is their campaign's decision on what he needs in these last final days, it does not bother me at all.”
ABC News has reached out to the Trump campaign for comment.
In the same interview, Haley denounced the messaging at Trump's rally in New York earlier this week, calling it "overly masculine" and "edgy." She said it was "harmful" to allow a comedian to disparage Puerto Ricans, and she thought that the choice of speakers might have made women feel "uncomfortable."
"This is not a time for them to get overly masculine with this bromance thing that they’ve got going," she said. "Fifty-three percent of the electorate are women. Women will vote. They care about how they’re being talked to."
Despite those criticisms, she said, "There's no bad blood between me and the president. We want Donald Trump to win."
Haley stressed that she is not voting for Trump for his personality, but rather for his policies, adding: “I don't agree with Trump 100% of time, but I don't agree with Kamala Harris on anything.”
