In reply, Haley expressed respect for Cheney&#8217;s endorsement of Harris but contended that it was incorrect to label her support for Trump as &#8220;unprincipled.&#8221; On Fox News&#8217; Fox and Friends, she stated, \u201cWe can either vote based on style or substance. I\u2019m choosing substance.\u201d She highlighted key differences between the two candidates: Trump&#8217;s tax cuts versus Harris&#8217;s tax increases, his promotion of energy production compared to Harris\u2019s opposition to it, and his strong stance on national security versus Harris\u2019s perceived weakness. Additionally, she noted the significant border issues under Harris\u2019s watch compared to Trump&#8217;s tougher policies. Haley emphasized that while people may dislike Trump personally, they cannot argue against the effectiveness of his policies compared to those of Harris.<\/p>\n<p>Haley also mentioned that it&#8217;s crucial for Trump to connect with centrist voters like suburban women and conservative Democrats as he seeks broader support. She indicated her readiness to assist him during his campaign efforts. Looking ahead to an upcoming debate between the candidates, she predicted both would perform well but stressed that neither could afford any missteps.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney&#8217;s endorsement of Harris faced backlash from Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R), who labeled Cheney as neither a conservative nor a Republican due to her backing of such a &#8220;radical&#8221; candidate as Harris and dismissed her endorsement as insignificant in this election cycle. Democratic strategist James Carville suggested that endorsements from both Cheney and her father Dick Cheney might sway some Republican voters toward supporting Harris in November; while he acknowledged these endorsements might not have widespread impact, they could still prove beneficial<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2632,"featured_media":2338721,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Nikki-Haley-dismisses-Liz-Cheney-scaled-1024x683.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[40143,34440,35795,39684,32076],"class_list":["post-2338720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-liz-cheney","tag-nikki-haley","tag-political-criticism","tag-trump-support","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Nikki-Haley-dismisses-Liz-Cheney-scaled-1024x683.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2338720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2632"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2338720"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2338720\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2338721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2338720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2338720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2338720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
