A group of Nikki Haley supporters from Vermont to Arizona met with President Joe Bidens 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 Bidenworlds ongoing outreach to win over Haley voters.
The fact they actually sent someone last night to speak to a small group
I think thats a good signal that theyre 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 Trumps 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, Haleys margins in key battleground precincts from the primary, and simply listening to their concerns.

No scruples, no surprise.
