The Biden campaign aired a new ad hoping to appeal to Nikki Haley voters to join the Biden-Harris coalition as Donald Trump rejects their support. The ad titled “Save America. Join Us” will be targeted at predominantly suburban battleground-state ZIP codes where she performed well against Trump.
“They show clips of Donald Trump in his own words insulting not only Nikki Haley but also the sect of the Republican Party who supported her and does not support him with the message underscored that there is not a place that Donald Trump does not want the votes of Haley voters and perhaps the Biden campaign is right to send an opening there,” said CNN senior White House correspondent Kayla Tausche on News Central.
The 30-second ad features Trump saying Nikki Haley doesn’t have “presidential timber” and when asked by a reporter how Trump will bring Nikki voters back into the tent, Trump responded “I don’t think we need too many.”
Tausche noted that “CNN’s own data and exit polling from North Carolina on primary night, just 7% of voters first, who cast their ballots for Nikki Haley said that they would be supporting whoever the GOP nominee would be. On one hand, you have the Biden campaign going after some of those centrist Republicans that had supported Haley.”
Former White House Communications Director under Trump, Alyssa Farah Griffin, commended the ad.
“A savvy move by Biden. MAGA is actively telling us that they do not want Reagan/Bush/McCain/Haley Republicans like me,” she said on X.

Politics is complicated. Covering an American president even more so. What I know and what I do not know is sometimes simply a matter of what I decide to publicize. Publicize is the word of the century—or perhaps the word of politics itself. Last week, I was in New York for UN week. One morning,…
