"This election has turned my stomach upside down. It has been embarrassing for both parties. It's not something that the country deserves, but it's what we've got," a disappointed Haley said.
"This is no longer a choice for me on personalities, because I'm not a fan other either one. What it is about is policy," the 44-year-old said.
"The best person based on the policies and dealing with things like Obamacare still is Donald Trump. That doesn't mean it's an easy vote, but it does mean I'm watching out for the people of South Carolina and I'm watching out for the people of South Carolina and that's who I will be voting for on November 8," Haley told reporters at a news conference in Columbia, South Carolina.
During the primaries, Haley had endorsed Marco Rubio and she has been very critical of the policies and statements of Trump.
"This election is not rigged, and it's irresponsible to say that it is," Nikki Haley said in a statement to The Post and Courier, a major daily from South Carolina.
"Faith in the democratic process is one of America's greatest strengths, and it's more important than the outcome of any election," she said in her first statement after the allegations that GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump has been making that the election is rigged.
