(AP Images)”Our future is in jeopardy, and Americans deserve candidates with character and integrity, who respect the rule of law, the rights of all people, and the Constitution,” Scott, a Republican, added. “In my view, the Republican Primary is now a two-person race. Governor Haley is our only chance to ensure America has the choice it deserves in November.” Scott has been at odds with Trump for some time. In 2020, he acknowledged crossing party lines and voted for President Biden. “Whether you’re a Republican or independent, I encourage you to vote for Governor Haley in the Republican Primary. It is my sincere hope that the good people of New Hampshire will send a clear message. This is not the time for Republicans or independents to sit it out. It’s time to move our country forward,” Scott said. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu has also thrown his support to Haley as well.
