From Fox News: Former U.N. ambassador and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is demanding that a group claiming to represent former Haley voters who support the presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris stop using her name.
“Kamala Harris and I are total opposites on every issue. Any attempt to use my name to support her or her agenda is deceptive and wrong,” Haley said in a statement shared first with Fox News on Tuesday. “I support Donald Trump because he understands we need to make America strong, safe, and prosperous.”
The political action committee, which previously supported Haley, had changed their name to “Haley Voters for Biden” after she dropped out of the race. Now they’ve changed their name to “Haley Voters for Harris.”
Fox News provided excerpts of a letter from a law firm representing Haley, which demanded that the PAC “cease and desist from any unlawful use of Ambassador Haley’s name in your political action committee name, and from any use of her name, image or likeness that implies her support for the election of Kamala Harris as President of the United States.”
“Any use by you of Ambassador Haley’s name, image, or likeness is without her permission. Ambassador Haley has been clear in her support of Harris’ opponent. Any intimation that Ambassador Haley supports Harris is intentionally false and misleading,” the letter warned.
After Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race on Sunday and endorsed Harris, the former pro-Haley PAC announced: “We support @JoeBiden’s recommendation and will immediately change the name of our organization to Haley Voters for Harris. There is no time to lose. She was a tough prosecutor. We encourage her to select a moderate VP like @GovernorShapiro, @RoyCooperNC, or @GovAndyBeshear.”

After speaking at the Republican National Convention last week, Haley announced, “I’ll start by making one thing perfectly clear. Donald Trump has my strong endorsement. Our country is at a critical moment. We have a choice to make. For more than a year, I said a vote for Joe Biden is a vote for President Kamala Harris. After seeing the debate, everyone knows it’s true.”
The PAC responded defiantly, “We agree that our country is at a critical moment. We agree that we have a choice to make. We would have chosen you. We will not choose Trump. We reject Vance. We can do better.”
