Haley mum on Trump guilty verdict as fans urge her to restart White House bid

 Nikki Haley, who campaigned on ending the "Chaos" that follows Donald Trump, found herself in a strange position as the former president's legal troubles exploded on Thursday: a silent supporter.

TRUMP GUILTY IN MANHATTAN HUSH MONEY CASE Since she dropped out of the race for the presidential nomination, she has continued to be a thorn in Trump's side, amassing 97 delegates compared to Trump's 2,219 delegates, according to the Associated Press.

"Given the reaction among Republicans, and some of them are rallying around Trump, I think it's extremely unlikely that there would be any kind of change in the Republican approach to this election. They've chosen to make their bed with Trump," he said.

Trump "Asked everybody their opinion of who should be vice president a lot of people picked Nikki Haley," Catsimatidis told 77 WABC Radio host Rita Cosby after he attended a Trump fundraiser following the guilty verdict.

"A lot of people said, 'I hate Nikki Haley, but John Kennedy hated Lyndon Baines Johnson, and he got elected because he picked Lyndon Baines Johnson.' A lot of people said to Trump, 'We don't like Nikki Haley, but she might make the difference,'" Catsimatidis said.

"I'm sure she's going to be on our team in some form, absolutely." Biden's campaign has repeatedly signaled it would aggressively court Haley voters put off by Trump.

Even after Haley said she would vote for Trump, the campaign was huddling with Haley supporters in a meeting Schwartz helped to organize.
