The co-hosts of ABCâs âThe Viewâ are not happy with former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley for announcing that she will vote for former President Donald Trump.
During a segment on Thursday, the panelists discussed Haleyâs decision and accused her of flip-flopping.
Conservative co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said she was âdisappointed but not surprised,â and claimed supporters of the former ambassador feel âbetrayedâ because, â told us why we should be fearful of him and now you flipped on it.â
She also suggested Haley voters will not vote for Trump just because of her decision.
âThis is political expediency, itâs pathetic, itâs cowardly,â Griffin continued. âAnd she did not help Donald Trump, but she damaged herself irreparably.â

Co-host Sunny Hostin chimed in, âIt just seems like you know people have like ten lives and in Politics, especially in the Republican Party⌠Iâve always said she was a flip-flopper. She couldnât be trusted. And I think this is about her future in Politics with the Republican Party that is really the Trump Party. She was never an earnest politician. If one exists. I think Barack Obama was an earnest politician. I think we did have have some in the White House. But, you know, Iâm not surprised. I called it as you know it.â
Meanwhile, co-host Sara Haines said she was not âfully surprisedâ by Haleyâs decision, which she claimed was âsuch a bad miscalculation.â
âShe should have owned that lane and stayed true to it, because I think she just buried herself for the future on this because thereâs no credibility. She lacked it and she flip-flopped a lot, but she really could have had a moment with how she pulled through on those primaries,â Haines added.
During an event at the Hudson Institute, Haley said, âAs a voter, I put my priorities on a president whoâs going to have the backs of our allies and hold our enemies to account, who would secure the border no more excuses, a president who would support capitalism and freedom, a president who understands we need less debt not more debt.â
She noted former President Donald Trump has ânot been perfect on these policies.â
However, she added President Joe Biden âhas been a catastrophe.â
âSo, I will be voting for Trump,â Haley explained. âHaving said that, I stand by what I said in my suspension speech. Trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me, and not assume that theyâre just going to be with him. And I genuinely hope he does that.â
