Former President Donald Trump’s campaign is in talks with former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley to join him on the trail in the final days of the 2024 race as he seeks to broaden his appeal among female voters, two sources familiar with the talks told CNN. No events have been finalized, however, some of the discussions have centered on a potential joint appearance at a Fox News town hall in late October, the sources said. The talks were first reported by The Bulwark. Trump has held a number of town halls moderated by prominent Republican women, including Govs. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Kristi Noem, however GOP operatives acknowledge Haley could draw a different kind of voter. “The gender gap is real,” one source close to Trump told CNN. “Haley attracts a different kind of voter. She gets a lot of positive media coverage and appeals to women who are unsure of Donald Trump.” “We’re seeing Republican candidates struggle with women, and that includes Donald Trump,” one GOP operative told CNN. “Haley helps with that.”
