Trump backers fiercely rip Nikki Haley for having ‘no future’ in the Republican Party: ‘Days in politics are over’

COLUMBIA, South Carolina — Hours before votes are tabulated for the South Carolina primary, Donald Trump supporters vehemently said they don’t see 2024 rival Nikki Haley having any future in the Republican Party.

The Post spoke to Trump backers waiting to get into his election night watch party in the state’s capitol. The voters lambasted Haley — who is polling 28 points behind Trump in her home state — for “flip-flopping” by going back on her word about running against the former president, and said she has no room in the MAGA movement.

Karen Colby, a supporter wearing a white Trump hat with a blinged-out elephant, said Haley has “zero” shot at having any role in the party, since she’s campaigned against the former president.

“She was crying on TV the other day, I think she needs some guidance therapy,” Colby said, alluding to Haley getting emotional while speaking about her husband Michael on deployment.

“None, zip, nope, done. She was implying he’s old. She’s done,” she said of Haley’s chances of ever serving in a possible Trump administration.

Trump has already said he’s ruled out Haley as a possible VP pick as the two have gone head-to-head in increasingly personal attacks.

The former South Carolina governor has focused in on Trump being 77 and thus old and “confused,” while the former president has criticized her husband about being absent from the campaign trail.

“She has managed to burn every conservative bridge I can imagine, as far as her political future goes,” said Dan Harvell, a South Carolinian board member of the state’s executive committee.

James Yates and Steve Davis, two Vietnam veterans in line to see Trump, said they would like to see Haley “go away.”

“I’d like to see her go away, put her flip-flops on, cause she’s flip-flopped so many times on South Carolinians. She needs to put them on and walk the other way,” said Yates, wearing a Trump sombrero.

Davis predicted Haley will “write a book,” but that “days in politics are over.”

Mike Boatman, another Trump supporter, went as far to say as Haley is not a Republican.

“I think she’s a Democrat. Why was she trying to run against Trump? No one can defeat Trump,” Boatman said. “I don’t think she’ll be able to win a presidential [election.] I think she she hurt herself for 2028.”

“This MAGA movement is a movement that has never been seen before, and we’re hard core Trump loyal supporters.”

Wayne Stuart agreed that Haley has “flip-flopped” too much and is out because she had the audacity to not back Trump after she said she wouldn’t run against him.

“She turned her position on that. And really, it seems like she’s in the Democrat pocket in many different ways. She goes way too much on the left side,” Stuart said, adding that Trump supporters see her as “untrustworthy “and that “she doesn’t represent the people well.”

Haley has vowed to stay in the primary race at least through Super Tuesday on March 5 and has argued she’s the only one who can win against President Biden.
