Haley served as the United States ambassador to the United Nations during Trump’s term from 2017 to 2018. She is known for openly praising and criticizing Trump’s campaign and argued that the “Biden-Harris agenda” has made the world “much more dangerous.” “

“Our southern border is our most pressing security threat; Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris have made it dramatically worse,” the Republican wrote. “Its debacle in Afghanistan not only created a new terrorist state; it also pointed out the weakness unleashed by Russia’s war against Ukraine.”

“His appeasement of Iran has enriched that despotic regime and emboldened it to wage war with Israel through its terrorist proxies,” Haley added.

The former ambassador predicted that a second Trump presidency “wouldn’t be perfect” but would include tax cuts, greater support for American energy and a better standing on the world stage.

“These are enormous political differences that will affect the lives of all Americans and much of the world,” Haley wrote. “Will Mr. Trump do some things I don’t like in a second term? I’m sure he will. If that were the question before voters, then I imagine Mr. Trump would lose.”

“But that is not the issue in any election,” he added. “No politician does everything right. For those of us who are lucid enough to see Mr. Trump’s flaws and honest enough to recognize them, the question is whether we are better off with his policies or those of his opponent.”
