Trump’s Olive Branch to Archrival Nikki Haley
Former President Donald Trump, who has grown spiritual after surviving an assassination attempt on Saturday, seemingly is embracing one core religious tenet: forgiveness.
On Sunday, Trump called his onetime rival, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, and asked her to speak on Tuesday at this week’s Republican National Convention, according to Bloomberg.
Until Trump dropped his grudge, Haley was set to be the most conspicuous of names excluded from the GOP confab, which began Monday in Milwaukee, drawing the MAGA faithful to a four-day nominating contest that has morphed into a revival following their party leader’s near-death experience. Nearly every other prominent Republican was scheduled to be a headliner, including other former rivals such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, who made Trump’s shortlist of potential vice presidential picks before Trump settled on Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio.
