Nikki Haley Struggles To Call Trump A 'Good Candidate' Despite Endorsing Him

Nikki Haley, the onetime GOP presidential candidate who endorsed Donald Trump , despite once saying voting for him was like suicide for our country , could only muster a general acknowledgment of Trumps existence when asked if she thinks hes a good candidate. 

I think he is the Republican nominee, Haley said, in an interview with CBS News Margaret Brennan. And I think putting him against Kamala Harris , who is the Democrat nominee for me, its not a question. Now, do I agree with his style, do I agree with his approach, do I agree with his communications? No.

CBS News shared those remarks from Haley Friday. The full interview is slated to air Sunday.

Brennan pressed the former United Nations ambassador for her views on Trumps candidacy because Haley, in part, said shed run because she could do a better job than him. Throughout her campaign, Haley slammed Trump as unhinged and diminished as compared to 2016, questioned whether he would abide by the Constitution and said he was not qualified to be the president of the United States.

Despite those comments, Haley endorsed Trump after suspending her campaign in May.

She added during her interview with Brennan that shes offered to help Trumps campaign if it needs her.

Trump knows that Im on standby, the former South Carolina governor said. I talked to him back in June. Hes aware that Im ready if he ever needs me to do that.

Haleys remarks in limp support of Trump were shared the same day former Vice President Dick Cheney announced he was backing Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. So far, the only person from a GOP presidential ticket to back Trump is former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin .
