DeSantis criticizes Haley for not endorsing Trump: 'You signed the pledge'

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis criticized former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley for not endorsing former President Trump in her speech announcing the suspension of her campaign.

The governor continued, "But the idea that somehow circumstances have changed… I think we all knew what we were doing when we did that, and you've got to make a judgment about whether that’s meaningful to you. And so for me, I tell people, you know, if I say I’m going to do something, I’m going to do it."

Haley ended her White House bid Wednesday morning after losing almost every state on Super Tuesday, rendering a victory nearly impossible for the former South Carolina governor.

"I said I wanted Americans to have their voices heard. I have done it. I have no regrets. And although I will no longer be a candidate, I will not stop using my voice for the things I believe in," Haley said as she spoke at her presidential campaign headquarters on Daniel Island, in her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina.

While Haley did not endorse Trump, top Haley surrogate Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina told Fox News on Wednesday morning that "if not today, she will" support the former president.

Norman, who endorsed Haley a year ago, added in a "Fox and Friends" interview that "at the end of the day, she will come on board."
