"Trump has not been perfect on these policies. I have made that clear many, many times. But Biden has been a catastrophe. So, I will be voting for Trump," the former two-term South Carolina governor who later served as U.N. ambassador in the Trump administration said.
However, Haley, who continues to grab up to 20% of the vote in Republican presidential primaries since ending her bid, said "Trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me."
"I appreciate what she said," Trump said in an interview with Fox News' Lawrence Jones that ran Friday on "Fox and Friends."
"The party is together," he emphasized.

Additionally, in an interview with News 12 in New York, the former president said, "I think she’s going to be on our team because we have a lot of the same ideas, the same thoughts,"
"You know we had a nasty campaign. It was pretty nasty. But she’s a very capable person and I’m sure she’s going to be on our team in some form. Absolutely," Trump said as he pointed back to the heated clash between him and Haley earlier this year.

Haley repeatedly questioned Trump's mental acuity and charged that the former president was "unhinged."
Haley announced that she was suspending her White House campaign on March 6, the day after Trump swept 14 of 15 GOP nominating contests on Super Tuesday.
Haley's team did not react to Trump's comments at the time this story was published.
