Nikki Haley: There was fraud in the election but not enough to change the outcome

Nikki Haley calls Donald Trump a friend and says she would consult with him before embarking on a White House bid, but the former United Nations ambassador disagrees with the former president when it comes to the outcome of the 2020 election.

“There was fraud in the election, but I don’t think that the numbers were so big that it swayed the vote in the wrong direction,” Ms. Haley said in an interview ahead of a Tuesday evening appearance at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif…

She also plans to argue that Democrats have abandoned former President Barack Obama’s unifying message on race and national identity delivered in 2004 at the party’s national convention when he was a U.S. Senate candidate from Illinois.

“Republicans cannot make the same mistake,” she’s expected to say. “That message was our message first. We must once again take it to the American people. We’re fighting for a society where people are judged by actions, not color; where discrimination is ended, not embraced; where censorship is rejected, and free speech protected.”
