During an interview with NBC News correspondent Shaquille Brewster, the North Carolina voter explained her transition from supporting Trump to inclining toward Nikki Haley, facilitating a straightforward explanation for her change in allegiance.
She said, “The man is a lunatic. And I think he’s terrible for the country. Just that he lies, he cheats. He bankrupted millions of businesses and people. And I don’t see anything good about him.” Another supporter exclaimed, “One, I think she would do a very good job. And, two, I think Donald Trump is a threat to the well-being of our country.”
