Black American Senator Tim Scott, who was briefly a candidate in the Republican primary, formalized his support for ultra-favorite Donald Trump against his rival Nikki Haley during a meeting of the former president in New Hampshire on Friday evening.
The influential senator from South Carolina, the state where Nikki Haley was governor, appeared on stage alongside Donald Trump during a meeting of the former president in New Hampshire, a small northeastern state which will vote Tuesday in the Republican primaries.
“I came to the very cold state of New Hampshire to support the next president of the United States, President Donald Trump!” exclaimed Mr. Scott from New Hampshire, which was in the grip of a bitter cold spell .
“We need Donald Trump,” he said again. “We need a president who unites our country.”
Tim Scott, a conservative Christian who dreamed of becoming the first black Republican president in U.S. history, withdrew from the race in November without ever getting his campaign off the ground.
“He’s a great man,” Donald Trump replied Friday evening. “Having his support means a lot.”
With her back to the wall facing the former president, ultra-favorite, Nikki Haley set herself up this week as a bulwark against the “chaos” that according to her a new presidency of Donald Trump, like Joe Biden, would represent.
The only woman on the right to run for the White House, Nikki Haley, former UN ambassador under President Trump, is forced to achieve a very good result in New Hampshire on Tuesday if she wants to shake up the former president after his triumph during of the January 15 primaries in Iowa.
The Republican primaries in South Carolina will take place on February 24.
