Nikki Haley expressed willingness to pardon Donald Trump if he were convicted of federal crimes, citing the best interest of the country and the need to move on.
Similarly, Ron DeSantis also indicated support for pardoning Trump, likening it to Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon.
“I would pardon Trump if he is found guilty,” Haley said. (Trending: Transgender Actor ‘Purposefully Misgendered’ By Airline Employee)
Wow. Nikki Haley goes full MAGA, says she would pardon Trump if he were convicted of a crime in a court of law.

“A leader needs to think about what’s in the best interest of the country,” she added.
“What’s in the best interest of the country is not to have an 80-year-old man sitting in jail that continues to divide our country. What’s in the best interest of our country is to pardon him so that we can move on as a country and no longer talk about him.”
However, critics argue that pardoning a suspected felon might not serve the country’s interest or promote accountability.
The fact that potential presidential candidates are addressing such questions reflects the unusual dynamics of the 2024 Republican politics.
