Nikki Haley breaks with Trump on IVF proposal, still says she's 'on standby' for campaign

Nikki Haley broke with former President Trump’s stance regarding IVF treatment, but still said she was "on standby" to campaign for the Republican nominee.

Haley, who was the last Republican presidential candidate to drop from the GOP race before Trump became the nominee, said during an appearance on CBS’s "Face the Nation" on Sunday that she had spoken with Trump in June and that "he’s aware that I’m ready if he ever needs me" to campaign for him.

With this election, Haley said, "there’s a lot at stake" with two administrations asking to be re-elected. Her main concerns, she says, are her children, with the cost of living and housing so high, the cost of goods up 20%, immigration and safety "with foreign entities coming in and the threats we could face," and energy.

"And so there's just a lot going on," Haley told CBS host Margaret Brennan. "To me, the stark contrast between a Trump and Harris administration are what led me to say, yes, I need to, you know, I'm going to be voting with Trump, and I'm going to speak at the convention. And so that's what I did."

EARLY VOTING MEANS 'ELECTION SEASON' MAY BEGIN VERY SOON

Haley noted that Trump's team has not asked her to campaign, and that she has not been advising him for debate prep.

"He can, you know, whatever he decides to do with his campaign, he can do that. But when I called him back in June, I told him I was supportive. I think the teams have talked to each other a little bit, but there hasn't been an ask as of yet. But you know, should he ask, I'm happy to be helpful."

While voicing her overall support for Trump, Haley said she disagreed with his recent pledge to mandate that either the government or insurance companies pay for in vitro fertilization, or IVF treatment,
