MILWAUKEE — Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has been invited to speak at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee next week, according to two sources familiar with the decision, who said details had not yet been finalized.
The Republican National Committee, the Trump campaign and Haley’s team did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The invitation appears to have come within the past few days.
On Tuesday, Haley released her 97 delegates so they could support Trump at the convention.
Chaney Denton, a longtime senior aide to Haley, told NBC News at the time that she “was not invited” to the convention and that “she’s fine with that.”
“Trump deserves the convention he wants,” Denton said. “She’s made it clear she’s voting for him and wishes him the best.”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, another of Trump’s primary opponents who frequently clashed with him, is scheduled to speak at the convention.
