MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace suffered a meltdown on Wednesday after former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley announced she would be voting for former President Donald Trump in the November presidential election.
During a lengthy question and answer session, Haley confirmed that she would be endorsing Trump.
“I put my priorities on a president who’s going to have the backs of our allies and hold our enemies to account, who would secure the border—no more excuses,” Haley said.
“A president who would support capitalism and freedom, a president who understands we need less debt, not more.”
“Trump has not been perfect on these policies; I have made that clear many, many times,” she said.
“But Biden has been a catastrophe.”
However, Wallace did not take kindly to the news.
“We need shrinks and cult experts to explain this because what you’re reporting, it doesn’t make a lick of sense,” Wallace told her guest.
“And it’s so recent. I mean, JD Vance in 2015 said something similar.”

“But for both her and her husband to have both been feuding publicly with him just days and weeks before endorsing,” she fumed.
With the exception of Asa Hutchinson and Chris Christie, almost every Republican presidential candidate has endorsed Trump’s White House bid.
For months, Haley was seen as a potential wild card as speculation grew she would abstain from voting for Trump.
Haley was sought after by the “no labels” party and had frequently criticized Trump throughout the campaign cycle.
Haley accused Trump of undermining U.S. global alliances and raised concerns about whether Trump was too old for the presidency.
Trump confirmed Haley is not being viewed as a candidate for vice president but left the possibility open for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy.
