Former President Donald Trump may not be taking his former opponent’s advice on how to run his campaign, but that’s not stopping him from extending an olive branch.

While Vice President Kamala Harris dodges the press, the former president has put himself front and center to show a contrast between the transparency of the two campaigns. During a presser in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump took questions from the press which led to a shocking offer to Nikki Haley.
“Nikki Haley told our Bret Baier that Republicans need to stop whining about Kamala Harris, focus on courting those independents, those suburban women, the moderates out there. What do you think of that strategy and would you consider having Nikki Haley on the campaign trail with you?” the reporter asked.
“Sure. I think we have done very well. I think that we are hitting a nerve. I think that this is a different kind of a race. All we have to do is define our opponent as being a communist or socialist or somebody that’s going to destroy our country,” Trump said, defending his strategy. “You know, I fought Nikki very hard. I beat her in her own state by legendary numbers. And I get along with her fine. I appreciate that she endorsed me and all of that.”
“No, I think that — I think relatively to what they are doing and how radical they are and how in many ways how sick they are, I think I’m doing a very calm campaign. We are here, there is no shouting. You will say he ranted and raved — not you, but some of you will say he ranted and raved. I didn’t rant and rave. I may very calm person, believe it or not. If I wasn’t, probably wouldn’t be around anymore, you know, probably wouldn’t be around,” he continued. “I appreciate her advice. I have to do it my way. You know, I ran against her and I did it my way. People said I should maybe do it a different way. But I won in South Carolina by numbers that nobody has ever seen before. It wasn’t even close. I think she is a good woman. I would love to have her support. She gave me support. But I would love to have her go around and campaign.”
