"I have great respect for the will of the people, and as I have always said, I will support the Republican nominee for president," Indian-American Haley said in a brief statement, a day after Donald Trump won the Indiana primary and became the presumptive nominee of the party for the November general elections.
However, Haley, who had endorsed the Florida Senator Marco Rubio and campaigned for him extensively before he withdrew from the race, did not name Trump in her statement.
Yesterday, Trump told ABC News that his vice presidential pick would be someone with political experience having the respect to deal with the Senate and the Congress.
"While I've been in the world of politics all my life, the business, I will handle so well, we will bring our jobs back and we'll bring our economy back. But I would like to have somebody who could truly be good with respect to dealing with the Senate, dealing with Congress, getting legislation passed, working toward something where we're not signing executive orders every three days like President Obama does," Trump said.
