This week, Fox News Anchors Martha MacCallum and Bret Baier reviewed past comments from former GOP Presidential contender Nikki Haley in February 2024, where she uncannily predicted that Democratic Nominee Kamala Harris would win the Democratic nomination and predicted that Harris would beat Trump.

Haley is a former South Carolina Governor and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. She competed against Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump through several primary electoral races until she conceded defeat.

At first, it was unclear which alternate candidate Haley would endorse after her long-standing disagreements with Trump. In the end, however, Haley endorsed Trump and said that she would vote for him in November.

Months ago, in February, Haley spoke with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins and claimed that if Trump beat Haley for the GOP Nomination, Kamala Harris would be elected the next President.

Haley said, “The party that gets rid of their 80-year-old candidate is the party that will win. There will be a female president of the United States. It will either be me, or it will be Kamala Harris. If Republicans nominate Donald Trump, it will be Kamala Harris.”

MacCallum noted, “You know, looking back at some of the soundbites from Nikki Haley on the trail, some sound quite prescient. Let me play one more, and then let me hear a little about what you’re looking forward to this evening.”

Haley said in the clip, “When we look at the situation, we will have a female president. It will either be me, or it will be Kamala Harris. We must respect…70 percent of Americans said they don’t want a Biden-Trump rematch. The majority of Americans disapprove of Trump and disapprove of Biden.”

Baier’s Analysis of Haley’s Campaign Focus

Baier also weighed in on aspects of the former Haley campaign that make sense from the current situation of Harris’s ascendancy as the Presidential nominee.

Baier’s Insight on the Republican Party’s Direction

He said, “I think she spent much time talking about Kamala Harris on the campaign trail. We remember that from Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.”

“What I want to hear is where she thinks the party is now. She always talks about, even in the convention speech, unifying the party and getting behind former President Trump because they don’t have to agree 100 percent of the time. Does she think the tent is expanding in this new battle with a new ticket with a lot of energy on the Democratic side?”

Haley’s Advice to Fellow Republicans

In Tuesday’s interview between Baier and Haley, she told fellow Republicans to “quit whining” about Harris’s nomination and instead focus on beating her in November.

Haley’s Anticipation of Harris’s Rise

She reflected that she had anticipated that Biden would be replaced with Harris before the election.

Haley said, “Republicans should not be surprised that we are now running against Kamala Harris. It was her all the time. There was no way Joe Biden, in the condition that we saw him, could take on the stresses of a presidential election. So that was something I believed in then. It’s why I constantly referred back to her; I knew that Kamala Harris was the person that we had.”

Trump Campaign’s Response to Harris’s Nomination

Haley’s anticipation of a Harris candidacy stands in stark relief with Trump’s approach to the change. Trump and his supporters have stumbled into the new scenario with clunky and off-mark attacks on her gender, race, and status as a “diversity, equity and inclusion” candidate. The Trump campaign has failed to deflate the Harris enthusiasm from the Democrats.
