Where Do The Nikki Haley Voters Go From Here?

We know how Republican voters feel about former president Donald Trump. But where are all of the Nikki Haley supporters going to go?

"The Haley voters are going to go to the Democrat party, because that's where they were in the first place" said Republican strategist, Matt Locke, "Roughly 60% to 70% of the people voting for Nikki Haley were already going to vote for Joe Biden anyway."

So, while Trump is still expected to maintain his overall lead, Biden will get a boost from the Haley backers.

"Some will go to Trump, some voters will say that cannot vote for Joe Biden" Locke told KTRH, "So, does it hurt Trump in the end? Yes."

Either way, it's shaping up to be a wild 8-month ride, before we get to November.

"You have a very interesting deal setting up, where you're going to see a president win in states with 42% of the vote, because it's going to be split 3 ways" noted Locke.

A couple of other noteworthy points that Locke pointed out. He does not believe that Haley will help Trump at all, in fact he thinks she's going to work against him. And with all of that said, he does -not- believe Joe Biden will be the Democrat nominee, come election time.
