ABC News contacted several of Nikki Haley’s supporters to ask their reactions to her speech at the RNC Tuesday night.
Jack LaFrankie, a voter in Tennessee, told ABC News that he agreed with much of Haley’s speech and that if the election were held today, he would reluctantly vote for Trump.
Eli Raykinstein, an incoming sophomore at Michigan State University, said her speech resonated with him.
“I also like how she spoke to the people who weren’t totally sold on Trump, not just to the base he already has,” Raykinstein said.

Thalia Flores from New Hampshire said she would never vote for Trump.
“Never. She just bought herself a cabinet position — probably Secretary of State,” she said.
After Haley’s speech, Louis Hibbs, an undecided voter from Boothwyn, Pennsylvania, told ABC News that he’s still undecided.
“I still can’t help looking back at the debate and the way Biden was stumbling over his own words,” he said.
Undecided North Carolina voter Roger Stewart told ABC News that Haley is a true Republican.
“I’m still undecided. That’s my official and honest declaration. I loved her speech, though,” Stewart said.
