WASHINGTON — Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley said Wednesday that she's planning to vote for former President Donald Trump in November, despite her criticism of him during the campaign for the GOP presidential nomination.

Haley made her first public appearance since dropping out of the presidential race with a speech on national security and foreign policy at the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C.

After the remarks, she took a question from a moderator on whether Trump or President Joe Biden would do a better job handling the issues.

"Trump has not been perfect on these policies. I’ve made that clear many, many times," Haley replied. "But Biden has been a catastrophe. So I will be voting for Trump.
