Sen. Tim Scott to Newsmax: Haley’s Trump Endorsement Will Help Voter Turnout

Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., told Newsmax on Monday that Republican former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s endorsement of Donald Trump in a Wall Street Journal editorial a day before Election Day was not too little, too late.

Having her perhaps speak to the late-breaking voters who may be apathetic more than undecided, maybe she helps mobilize those folks.”
