It does not appear that the former president is heeding her warning, which is in stark contrast to Biden who began earnestly wooing Haley\u2019s supporters on the day she suspended her campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny political consultant worth their salt would say that any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-this-average-american-is-voting-for-donald-trump\/\" title=\"Why This Average American Is Voting for Donald Trump\">presidential campaign<\/a> should be trying to grow their base and bring in as many Republicans as possible,\u201d former Haley campaign spokeswoman Nachama Soloveichik said. \u201cThis is going to be a close race. It could be decided by 10,000 votes in Georgia or 50,000 votes in Pennsylvania. Both Trump and Biden are going to have to win over voters that aren\u2019t coming naturally to them. And it would be insane, and professional negligence, to say no we don\u2019t need those voters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Soloveichik emphasized she was speaking to the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> in her personal capacity as a political consultant, not on behalf of Haley.<\/p>\n<p>Other Republican consultants instead cast the blame on the lack of unity on Haley, not Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump\u2019s focus on securing our borders, fixing the economy, and reducing crime should be enough to unite all Republicans to fire Joe Biden,\u201d said Aaron Evans, president of the Winning Republican Strategies, in a statement to the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>. \u201cNikki Haley has a real opportunity to be the unifier, but unfortunately, she has backtracked on her pledge to support the nominee and is channeling her efforts toward further dividing the Republican Party. It\u2019s a missed opportunity for her to lead and unite the party to take back the White House in November.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Robert Schwartz, co-founder of the super PAC Primary Pivot, has turned his attention to persuading Haley voters to back Biden in November. But he does have reservations about the Biden campaign\u2019s efforts to target Haley supporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that Biden\u2019s campaign needs to ramp up its own efforts because a lot of these voters do still have significant concerns about some of Biden\u2019s policies,\u201d Schwartz said, pointing to the president\u2019s domestic policy. \u201cSo I think both sides really need to make a concerted effort to win over these voters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schwartz also warned that the Biden campaign\u2019s outreach to uncommitted voters needed to be handled in a way that didn\u2019t dissuade Haley\u2019s backers. \u201cAt the very minimum, I think the Biden campaign needs to make a similar level of outreach that they\u2019re making to those uncommitted voters,\u201d Schwartz said.<\/p>\n<p>Soloveichik, the former Haley staffer, warned that the GOP has struggled with suburban and female voters in recent elections, many of whom did support Haley and will need to be wooed back.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are hundreds of thousands of voters that made it clear that their first preference was to go in a different direction,\u201d Soloveichik said. \u201cIt\u2019s not a secret that Republicans have lost voters in the suburbs, that they have a problem with women, that they have lost college-educated voters. This is a rematch. So it\u2019s not like we have to guess about where the struggle points are, where the pain points are, for either party.
