Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley questioned whether former President Donald Trump would abide by the Constitution if re-elected, declining to say whether she would support him in the general election.
Haley appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday and was asked if she thought Trump would follow the Constitution if elected, to which she replied, “I don’t know.” “When you go, you talk about revenge. When you go, you talk about vindication. … I don’t know what that means, and I can’t answer that. He is the only one.”
Haley is the only remaining candidate in the Republican primary to face Trump, but she has so far failed to win over voters. Trump has easily won every race in the primary season so far, and currently has 10 times as many delegates as Haley, who vowed to remain in the race.

The pledge was made despite Haley losing her home state of South Carolina last month, with the candidate instead being given a seat on March 5, “Super Tuesday” and the most important day of the primary season. They expected more than 800 delegates to gather.
The Republican primary in Washington, D.C., which will be held over three days this weekend, will also be held in 2016, when Trump came in third place in the same district. It is believed that there is a possibility that he will be elected.

With there appearing to be little danger to Trump’s status as the clear front-runner, Haley was pressed on whether she would support Trump if he won the Republican nomination. South Carolina’s governor had refused to commit, despite prior commitments.
“When you talk about support, you’re talking about losing. I don’t think that way. When you’re in a race, you don’t think about losing,” Haley says of the shackles. When asked if he felt it, he replied: The RNC pledges to support the final nominee. “All I can say is that I don’t think Donald Trump or Joe Biden should be president. I don’t think we need two candidates who are in their 80s…People want to go back to the past and see a new generation.” The American dream is what we want for our children and a place where we can be proud again. ”

Haley was further questioned about her previous pledges, insisting that if she supported the former president, she would “make the decisions that I want to make.”
“I’m not thinking about what-ifs,” Haley said. “I’m thinking about how to continue the conversation.”
