Former Republican and never-Trumper Bill Kristol endorsed GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley one day before the Iowa caucus kicks off.
Kristol notably left the Republican party over its support of Donald Trump.
“I’m an ex-Republican. But if I were an Iowan, I’d be crossing back over to vote for Haley Monday,” he said.
“Voting against Trump in Republican caucuses and primaries is the most effective way—and a legal and legitimate way—to oppose Trump this winter and spring,” Kristol added.

Kristol has been a long-time opponent of Trump. He even openly called on voters to change party affiliations in order to influence primaries and caucuses.
Kristol also called Donald Trump’s reelection a “threat to democracy.”
The former Republican also said he would support a military coup against Trump if necessary.
Despite leaving the Republican party, Kristol leads a group called “Republicans for Ukraine,” which advocates tens of billions in funding for the Ukraine war effort against Russia.
Kristol even called on Republican voters to support Democrat politicians “for a while” in order to derail Trump’s campaign.
This isn’t the first, and it won’t be the last anti-Trumper to support Haley.
Last month, Billionaire LinkedIn co-founder and major Democrat donor Reid Hoffman donated $250,000 to Haley’s campaign.
As The Daily Fetched reported:
Hoffman donated to Haley’s campaign after a chief executive for JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon, called on Democrat donors to donate to Haley through the SFA Fund Inc. super PAC.
Last year, Hoffman admitted he had visited Epstein’s island, Little St. James, telling the Wall Street Journal, “It gnaws me that, by lending my association, I helped his reputation, and thus delayed justice for his survivors.”
The New York Times reported that Hoffman helped fund a civil lawsuit against Trump brought by E. Jean Carroll, who accused the former president of raping her.
Democrat megadonor Reid Hoffman is currently funding the lawsuit filed by E. Jean Carroll accusing President Trump of rape (she once said “rape is sexy” on tv).

He visited Epstein’s island in 2014, after it was already revealed he was a sexual predator.

Last week, GOP Sen. Rand Paul launched a new anti-Nikki Haley website titled “Never Nikki,” exposing the former United Nations Ambassador as a globalist.
Paul wrote on X:
“Based on her record and campaign, I don’t see how any thoughtful or informed libertarian or conservative should vote for @NikkiHaley.”
“If you agree, let your voice be heard,” Paul, of Kentucky, wrote on the social media platform X.
Forever neocon, former Cheney Republican, Bill Kristol says vote Nikki.
