Former President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign manager said that if Democrat and independent voters can stomach voting for GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley in their states’ primaries, it could help to subvert former President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential aspirations.

“I think it’s probably too distasteful for a lot of people. But for those who would be up for it, to do something tactically—I don’t know if it would stop Trump, but, you know, it could help extend the primary,” David Plouffe told MSNBC’s “All In With Chris Hayes” on Jan. 3.
