Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley talked about how she might respond if she wins and her chief Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, is convicted of any crime.
President Trump is facing numerous indictments as well as civil cases and attempts to boot him from the ballot in several states.
She likened the situation to what happened with former President Richard Nixon, who resigned from the office amid the Watergate scandal. His successor, former President Gerald Ford, pardoned him.
“For me, it’s not about guilt or innocence,” she said.
“You’ve got to say, ‘What’s in the best interest of the country?’ And I think pardoning Trump and moving on is in the best interest of country if we’re going to heal and if we’re going to get back together and get out of the chaos,” Ms. Haley continued.
