Presidential candidate Nikki Haley has vowed to pardon former US President Donald Trump should she defeat him in the Republican Primary and win against Joe Biden in November. Speaking at a town hall in South Carolina on Sunday (18 February), Haley confirmed that if the former president is found guilty, she would pardon him to unify America. She said: “We’ve got to leave the negativity and the baggage behind. I don’t want this country divided any further. I don’t think it’s in the best interest for America to have an 80-year-old president sitting in jail and having everybody upset about it.” Trump faces several court cases related to election interference, the January 6 riots, and falsifying business records.

    She’s trying to position herself for Vice President candidate since it’s becoming clear she can’t win the primary.

        I don’t understand this comment in this context.

        Edit: thanks for explaining!

          Trump mixed up Pelosi and Haley in a reference to Jan 6. Not just a single slip up… but a full rant multiple times he said Haley instead of Pelosi.

          His cognitive decline has caused him to constantly mix up names.
