Biden Campaign Quietly Meets With Haley Supporters After Trump Endorsement

[Tom of Temecula]

A group of Nikki Haley supporters from Vermont to Arizona met with President Joe Biden’s campaign on Wednesday night almost immediately after she announced her plan to vote for Donald Trump, The Daily Beast has learned. In the previously unreported meeting, a Biden campaign representative listened to the concerns of top Haley supporters from various states as part of Bidenworld’s ongoing outreach to win over Haley voters.

“The fact they actually sent someone last night to speak to a small group … I think that’s a good signal that they’re aware there are huge numbers of Haley voters out there,” Robert Schwartz, founder of the Haley Voters For Biden PAC, told The Daily Beast. Schwartz said the meeting was highly encouraging, and likened it to other listening sessions the Biden campaign has done with the pro-Palestinian uncommitted vote.

The Biden campaign did not immediately return a request for comment on the meeting.

Ever since the GOP primary wrapped up, the Biden team has identified Haley voters as a key persuasion target with a unique set of key issues, particularly around Trump’s attacks on democracy and the general notion of restoring decency to the office. The Biden campaign has continued trying to refine their definition of a persuadable Haley voter over the past few months, focusing on paid media, Haley’s margins in key battleground precincts from the primary, and simply listening to their concerns.

1. Micromarketing to specific voting blocs may be the unspoken key

MAGA is a monolith. Trump's is a blunt, scattershot pitch. The world doesn't really work that way anymore.

2. I recall one of her supporters stated specifically. I asked her, please do not

ever endorse him. Haley said she would not.

No scruples, no surprise.

5. Yes, she sounded so reasonable for awhile

But I knew she couldn't be trusted. She is too ambitious and will do or say anything for political power. Everything she said on the campaign trail to her supporters is meaningless now.

3. Very smart!

4. We need as many votes as we can gather...

Would make no sense to ignore Haley supporters.

6. "If you want to live as a Republican, vote for a Democrat."

That is, unless you’re a Republican who wants to make everyone live as you say. Those can go pound sand.
