The Haley Voters for Harris group has vowed not to step down after being sent a cease and desist letter from former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley.
The group, formerly Haley Voters for Biden, is seeking to poach primary voters who voted for Haley over former President Donald Trump.
The letter demanded the end of "Any use by you of Ambassador Haley's name, image, or likeness is without her permission. Ambassador Haley has been clear in her support of Harris' opponent. Any intimation that Ambassador Haley supports Harris is intentionally false and misleading."
"Kamala Harris and I are total opposites on every issue. Any attempt to use my name to support her or her agenda is deceptive and wrong," Haley said in a statement to Fox News.
Haley Voters for Harris was quick to respond, arguing that it was well within their rights to utilize their self-description in endorsing Harris.
"There are many other like minded Haley voters who also do not plan to support former President Trump in November," a statement from the group read. "Our rights to engage with voters and encourage them to vote for Vice President Harris - who in our view is the clear better choice for the country - will not be suppressed."
Haley Voters for Harris director Craig Snyder told NPR that the group's name is "a factual statement of the way a lot of people feel and the way a lot of people intend to vote in November."
